GODDARD SEM.
BIG NOISE AT
ARMORY TUESDAY
Goddard Basketball Team
Promises Fast Game
With LegiOn-CO. d

Goddard Seminary will be the
big noise at the Armory Tuesday
night. Coach Burch's protegees
have been resting since their con-
test with Woodsville and with al
most daily practice sessions, par
ticipated in by the entire squad,
they give promise of thrilling the
fans with a skillful exhibition of
play.
Manager Caswell's schedule for
this week includes a game with
Goddard Seminary on Tuesday ev-
ening and a return game with
Woodsville at Woodsvllle on Fri
day evening. Both games will be
real battles. Goddard Seminary,
which has boasted some powerful
athletic teams in the past, will GER
tainly not be lacking in man
material, when the whistle blows
for the game Tuesday.
The contest with Woodsville on
Friday evening will bring out the
best that there is in Coach Burch's
men, who will have to travel at
top speed in order to annex the
victory. Woodsville always is
much more formidable on it's own
court, as is the case with many
teams, and the local boys will be
extended to the limit, in anticipa-
ton of hard fast battle.
Saturday afternoon, Coach
Burch was busy with the basket
ball squad and staged a good work.
out at the Armory. With another1
practice session on Monday, the
combination American Legion and
Company d team ought to be in
fine fettle for the game Tuesday
night.
Manager Caswell is TO he praised
for the noteworthy efforts he is
to reduce the high cost of
dancing and amusements. A large
poster in local drug store window
that the admission price
to a basket ball game at Montpcl-
ier is 80 cents plus the war tax.
Here in ST. Johnsbury the basket

for but 35 cents, and if he is par

welcomed free to the dance.

attractive to the fans in both that

Sim Fein Delegates Refuse To Pledge
Allegiance To King of Great Britain
Re-opening of Hostilities Is Feared
AS Result of Failure of
Peace Conferences

or Wednesday. The truce still
remains in effect and no immed-
late resumption of hostilities is
expected. Nevertheless, both sides
believe, it is declared, that the
course of events will be bound to
involve renewal of hostilities.
The definite position is that the
refusal of the Sim Fein to pledge
allegiance to the king made an
agreement impossible. The most
the Sim Fein offered was to re-
cognize the king as head of the
commonwealth of free nations.
Negotiations lasting two months
thus have failed.
