Last evening fair sized audience
saw the Granville All Stars nose out
the American Legion basket ball team
by the score Of 81 to 80 in q close and
exciting game, Bcnnington's last
core coming just before the blowing
of the final whistle.
The game started somewhat slowly,

While somewhat ragged In spots,

Paulson's goals from the floor shou'd
nave been made coincident with j.

showed, would have been sufficient

The Granville team created a most
favorable impression here, by giving

craftsmanship.
II may be we'll to say In this connec-
ton that every effort is made to ser
cure games with the fastest amateur
teams In this vicinity but the people
should understand that it is an event
beyond the control of the local man
agement. II visiting teams make last
minute substitutions Of inferior play

game. Salem. as was stated in the
Banner before the game, had one of
the fastest teams in northern New
York last year and the game would
have been all that was claimed for II
this year, had the men guaranteed by
Salems manager TO appear In his line
up, made the trip TO bennington, and
surely no one who saw the game was
more disappointed with the poor show

who were responsible for securing the
game.
