NO MATCH FOR
LOCALS 55 TO 20
Visitors Utterly Unable to
Cope With Mastery of
Burch's Men

fingers completely outclassed the
Greenfield A "A. team Thursday
evening at the Armory in a one
sided contest, which terminated
50 to 20. During the first and sec
ond periods, the American Legion
Company ID quintet simply over
whelmed the opposition. 1t was
only during the second stanza that
the invaders from the Bay state
were able to enjoy the least modi-
cum of success in basket shooting.
The Greenfield athletes breezed
into the Scaletown Thursday nine
basketeers string, in addition to a
Holy Cross coach. On the face
of things, one could hope for a
real court battle. But before the
game had gotten fairly under way
i. became evident that the invad-
ers could in no wise hold candle
to the domesticated hoop rattlers
The game was the slowest seen
on the Armory surface for a long
time. A trio of scorers were on
the job expecting to see the fur
fly, but FOLLOWING the plays was a
dead cinch. There was none Of
the creased lightning action seen
and marveled at in the "Tobey'
Matthews classic.
Though "Fitz" Marshall found
the hoop for nine baskets and
Lucky" Fisk for eight, the play
ing of the locals was not quite up
to the high standard they have set
in some of their games. At that
the Burch disciples received little
inspiration from the loose plavin~
of the INVADING basket tossers. The
guarding of the Greenfield baS-
keteers was at times absolutely
null and void. Marshall and Fisk
were constantly permitted to
break loose and sprint down the
floor without any onpoSition.
In the third period, "Whitey"
Dumas Withdrew from the contest
and Coach Burch inserted jim
Foye who paired up with Marshall
in splendid fashion. Both have
been through the mill together in
Academy athletics and pooled
their efforts in highly productive
fashion against Greenfield
FIRST PERIOD
A shot from the hands of Turn
bull, who intercepted a pass from
Dumas, and a basket by Petrin
was the opening volley fred bv the
enemy. After maxine this attack
upon the St. Johnsburv goal they
lansd into inertia. "Whitev" Du-
mas loitered under his basket and
caught a nice pass from Fisk and
tipped it over the rim into the
meshes. Fisk missed a shot but
on the rebound had annie time to
poise and send the sphere clean
through the rim.
Petrin duplicated Fisk's heave,
and then the lucky one MANAGED
to pop in basket, just as the
ball was rolling off the rim after
Dumas eSsayed a free throw.
Marshall and Fisk broke loose re-
peatedly and got away for good
gains down the floor. Coach
Burch Tailed his initial basket of
he evening when he Scooped up
l loose ball under his basket and
,hot. Hayes managed TO break
nto the regularity of st. Johns
bury tallieS. when he tore free
lown the floor and archcd the big
sphere into the hoop.
Just before the period ended, |
Marshall okipped down the court, |
'cccived a long pass from Fisk
md Tailed. On flare back from
8urch, Albert Goslant tossed Il |
ocat basket into the hoop, and |
Luckys" pass to Burch for the
inal coal ended the scoring 27 to
H.
SECOND PERIOD
There was a marked f~arth of
baskets during the second frame |
,oach Burch was the only local |
loop rattlcr to locate the netting;
le secured two shots. one on a |
)ass from Dumas and the other
N snappy follow-u~ of a heave |
~ Marshall. PERHAPS the subs |
injected into the game bv Coach |
Manning helped to bolster IN the
Guarding game of the visitors.
'rosmire was sent in at center and
lockwood took the place of Pet
in at left guard.
Dumas passed right into the
ands of Aumand who shot
asket with facility, after Fros-
oirc had broken the ice with an
Introductory field goal. On a Sc
les of dribbles, HAYES BROUGHT
he ball within scoring position
nd tailed. The period ended 81
0 II in favor of the locals.
THIRD PERIOD
The invaders were sweDt. com
lctely off their underpinnlng in
