flung it clearly into the rim. Puss
Conner. who was later to shine
for st. JohnsbuIy, took several
shots at the hostile basket, but

wild as q result.
Eight minutes Of the Is minute

quickly back to Whitley Dumas
who stood unguarded and in Il
scoring position. Dumas had plen-
ty of time to aim one of his famous
high, un-englished arches into the
circlet. 1t was St. Johnsbury's
first score and the crowd beloved
its approval.
Conner pulled off the most SEN
sational play seen at the Armory
this year when he tied the score.
Lucky Fisk assisted him, delivering
the ball to him in a swift pass
Conner speeding like a Paddock
beneath and past the meshes,
tossed the sphere over his head 1t
sunk clearly through the rim and
Puss almost crashed into the seats,
he was going so fast.
st. Johnsbury stepped into a mo-
mentaly lead a second later when
Fisk reamed out an extra point on
free throw after he had been
fouled by Fister Fisk then was
called for a foul on Hanley and
the latter again knotted the score.
Hanley placed his quintet at the
head Of the parade just before the
period ended Fister drove long
pass at him and Hanley attempted
desperate side shot from dis
lance. The ball bounced around
once or twice and then settled
through for the two points. Soon
alterward Hanley followed up
free throw and dropped in another
field goal for White River The
visitors led 8 to when the stanza

Scarcely a minute later, with the !
giant Flster dangling fl an his
neck, Conner Gagged another un-
usual field goal from a difficult
angle. Lucky Fisk gave his team
a slight lee-way when he located
the meshes on an assist from Whit .
ey Dumas.
Goslant and Ackey got mixed up
in double foul but Albert alone
could tally his free throw. Con-
nor's two, shots and Fisk's field

that by Ackey when he was held
by Dumas Just before This, Ackey

right here to send it into the
meshes, however. Marshall snap
ped fast forward to Conner who
waited beneath the hostile basket.
Puss dropped in the ball and Com

River, II to 10. Time out was call
ed by Referee HOLSTER who look
ed up a rule in dispute.
Lucky Fisk accepted a lateral
pass from Conner and dumped it
cleverly within the hoop. Conner
and Fisk worked beautifully to-
gether, approaching the White
River basket on opposite sides of
the court.

ket but it was discounted by the
arbiter who declared that the big
guard leaped against the back
wall. Ackey tossed in a neat throw
fom the side of the court Mar

the court. He missed his shot but
Fisk was again on deck to shoot
it in. Just before the gong sounded
