ton of St. Johnsbury fans, again
toes the mark tonight at the Ar
mory, his appearance will call u
many memories of the great world
championship team on which he
played during the season of 1907 8.
Fans will recall the wonderful re-
cord scored by the team that sea-
son, when not a single defeat wa
chalked up against it on the home
court. In all there were AZ Games
played, over half Of which were
on the road, yet but six contests
were dropped during the entire
season.
The season got under wav on
November 10, 1907, when Com
pany d trounced the East Boston
quintet by the score of IA to %.
From then on II straight victories
were won until a 0ame was for
feited to the Springfield five. In
cluded in the succession of victo-
ries was a 43 to AZ win over ST.
Peters of Rutland and a hair
breadth conquest of the East Bos-
ton c. L. A. team by the score of
13 to II Among the overwhelm-
ing scores was the defeat of Glou-
cester by the mark of 106 to II.
The total score for the entire
season, which terminated on Feb
ruary 26, 1908 was 1911 as oppos-
ed to the 903 points tailed by op-
ponents. Although games were
played with the fastest teams in
the United States, no basketball
five between the Atlantic and Pa
cific could match the locals sue
cess.
"Tobey" was thespeepless pivotal
maa in those glorious days, while
Eddie Hollenback held down a DO
sition at left forward. Pat Doyle
kicked a wicked suction at right
forward and Wally Swenson and
Heiny Henchell were the guards
The team was under the manage
ment of w. =. Gray.
