VISITORS PLAYED
BRILLIANT GAME
Goddard Team Work Was
Not Good at the
Outset

N what was undoubtedly the fast
est game Of basketball witnessed in
Barre this season, the Holderness schooi
team of Plymouth, N. H., defeated the
Goddard Quintet at the Goddard gym
nasium last night BY score q ~ 70
10. The game from the start was lass
and clean but after several minutes ~
4plaving the Holderness team managed
to break away from the hill boys. a
crowd of several hundred people
cbcered themselves hoarse as the ball
was being passed with electrifying
sneed down the floor. Goddard started
the scoring when Danny Drlscoll
dropped In free throw and Cyran
made a field goal in the first few MN
utes of play. Holderness Immediately
stiffened its defense and would not al
low its opponents to break through.
Goddard on the other hand. played q
good defensive game but was unable
to take the ball down the floor.
The clean passing game put up by
the opponents was undoubtedly tne
cause for Goddard's defeat as the hill
bows did absolutely too much indiyid-
ual work However, in the second pc
Rod they began TO pass the ball bet
ter but 1t was to no advantage as the
New Hampshire boys had already run
mn n big score. The first half ended
|l4 to III III favor Of the visitors,
For Holderness, Brett, at the left FOR
ward position, and Cole at right for
ward displayed wonderful basketball
ability. Right from the beginning
these two men would get the ball OH
the tap. pass it back to the guards and
then 50 down the floor. Brett managed
to drop the ball through the net five
teams during the contest while Cole
made thirteen points from free throws.
Clare started the game at the center
position but because Of four personal
fouls he was ruled out of the game
He was replaced by Vesie. who played
the floor we'll. Skidmore and Churchill
played the guard positions and were
responsible for nearly all OF the clever
passing. Churchill in the tirst period
made the longest field goal Of the
game when he dropped one in from
the center Of the floor.
cyran, the Goddard fash. and Danny
Driscol played the forward positions
for the hill boys and displayed good
Judgment but did not follow up their
long shots. In the last few minutes
OF play Cyran made the most spectac-
,,lar basket Of the game by dropping
in a long shot. one handed, from the
center of the floor. He was the high
scorer for the hill boys, managing TO
cage the ball four times during the
melee. Danny Driscoll had an off night
in shooting free throws and only Sc
cured seven out of about twenty tries.
Bone Carroll played the center posi-
ton in brilliant fashion. Time and
again he would give the tap to one
OF the guards and then make fast
dart down the floor but was unable to
recover the pass. Woodland and John
son started the game in guard posi-
tions but did not last long Woodland
did not do as we'll as usual and Coach
Aldrich substituted McGarghan in his
place. johnson was ruled out on four
personals and was replaced in the sec
ond period by Taylor.
Coach Trask of Montpelier high
school refereed the game in good form
despite the banning that he received
from the Goddard cohorts when he
ruled johnson out of the game, His de
cisions were fair and every personal
foul that he called was absolutely un-
questionable. he called fifteen person
ais on Goddard and fourteen on the
Holderness aggregation. The summary;
