one in each half. The score in the

outstanding star of the field, scor-

al game as guard, and scored five
field goals. The game lacked much
OF the usual speed and team work.
Barrett. center, has the distinction
OF scoring all the points for the vis-
itors. He made one field goal and q
free throw in the first half and three
field goals and free throw In the
second half.
Friday evening the second team
(boys) played the Wilmot high
school team and the first team
played an exhibition game with the
town team. The Wilmot team, tho
light, showed a great deal of snap,
pep. and sportsmanship. Not until
near the end of the third quarter
was there any degree Of certainty
as to which team would win. Staple
ton, R., captain, starred for the To-
Gals, playing heady and consist
ant game thruout and scoring three
field goals and free throw in eth
er half. Likness scored two and
Haggerty, III. scored one field goal.
Captain Babb, center, starred for
the visitors scoring five field goals.
The score at the end of the first
half was 81 in favor of Sisset0n
and at the end of the game 1913 in
their favor. The high school-town
game was fast and exciting from
start to finish, and was inclined to
be somewhat rough at times. Team
work was quite in evidence thruout.
Scoring for high school was quite
we'll distributed thruout the team.
Aos, forward, did all the scoring
for the town team, making two field
goals and four forward throws. The
score at the end of the first half
was 9-5 and at the end of the game
17-8 in favor Of the high school.
Saturday evening the second
teams, girls and boys went to New
Ellington to paly the high school
teams there. Both games we're fast
hard and we'll played and reflect .
great deal of credit upon the teams
tho they lost both games. The girls
showed some very credible team
work especially in point OF passing,
and was better game than the
score would seem to indicate. AZ
the end Of the fist half the score
was 20 in favor of Ellington and
at the end Of the game 6-2 in their
favor
