feated by the st. Johnsbury basket
ball team in st. Johnsbury Thursday
| night by score of 80 to III. The
Capital City lineup had to be changed
as neither Clark nor Smith was able to
make the trip. The game was a hard
one all through, and the evident in
experience OF the referee tended to
make it harder for the Montpelier
team. A good deal of extra roughness
was in evidence, with the st. Johns
bury team generally on the aggressive.

in a Cadillac car driven by Fred Jewett
Of Waterbury, and were delayed by
snowdrifts in the road near st. Johns
bury which made it necessary to tow
! the car for a distance. The team re-
turned in the car Friday morning.
They were accompanied by Manager
II. b. Shepard and d. Spicer. The Capt.
tai City Five will probably play a team
from Barre next Thursday, after which
lit is expected that they win disband.
