chain of victories which Cathedral hlgh
school of Burlington had gathered to-
rether this season by administering TO
the fast parochial team "a to ~ de'

The Spaulding girls likewise defeated
The MONTPELIER Community house girls
III to 6. between periods OF the varsity
game. -.
Had Spaulding lost the game last
evening it's standing in the school
league would remain the same as TINS
was not a league game. But Spauelng |
was out to defeat this undefeated high
schol Ave, and did so by playing a
clean. fast game As the game grew
the thrills came more frequently and,
whan M last the timers ended the con
test everybody was keyed up to high
tension as the Cathedral team was
steadily gaining on the home team
Boiselle making the burden ever great
err for Spauldingites by scoring a pas
ket from the center OF the hoor III one
of those "take chance shots" IN the n
nal moments. 1t was good snot' ou'
one which neither he nor any OF ms team
mates attempted at any other tiine
during the game.
Mcdonald for Spaulding started scor-
ing about at the sounding OF the hfst
whistle after receiving pass from
Douglas. Free and Brown shot for fouls
shortly after, but both missed. Spauld
ing's lead grew until at the end OF the
first half the score stood Is to O..
Cathedral high had wonderful hve-
man defensive game. Just as soon as
the ball came into the possession OF the
opponent the entire squad stationed
themselves in the opponents territory,
three men abreast and two underneath
or yery close to the Spaulding basket
After one or two attempts to penetrate
this defense Steve Slayton, the center,
began Sailing to suck the defense down
fhe hall. and it was in this manner that
Spaulding destroyed the effectiveness
OF this formation and managed to get
a nine. point lead.
Cathedral in the last half played
different floor game, but the opportu-
nitv to win passed with the end of the
first period and, though gaining con-
siderably in the last half, could not
overcome the lead
Both teams played excellent ball,
passing freely, playing an offensive
sportsman game to the last minute.
Brown of Spaulding was put ont of the
game in the latter half of the last pc
Rod after making four personal fouls,
but these were committed, like all
the others in the game, not intention
ally but in natural contact
Burlington's short stocky right
glard, Brown, played we'll, time and
time again intercepting Spaulding
passes. Delaney of Burlington was an
other player whose manouvers were
noticeable, but the slippery man of the
team was Free, a very fast floor man
and an accurate shooter.
For Spaulding Mcdonald, Douglas
and Slavton worked very fast and well
together. The fine teamwork of the
forwards this year on the Spaulding
team has been commendable, especially
when contrasted with those of last win
ter, who refused to pass to one another
