ties could develop and maintain
the institutions of popular govern

education, established in the be

country and become one of the
characteristic features of our life.
In it we have laid the foundation
of that system of American cul-

have come to Us from many coun-

widely varying institutions.
In order that we may keep in

The Academy lads have been
undergoing a series of stiff prac-
tices, under the tutelage of Coach
HollitSer at the Armory, since the
closing of the football season and
are in very good condition. There
is a wealth of material from which
to choose and all are displaying a
remarkable interest in the game.
Heretofore it has not been the
policy for the school teams to
choose rivals outside the classes at
the school but, this year owing to
the amount and quality of the ma
terial, the mentors have decided to
place a team in the field, and
choose for opponents school
teams in their vicinity that match
up with the locals.

Defeats Company c of
Lyndonville at
ArmOry

Company L opened its Basket
ball season Tuesday evening at the
Armory by winning over Company
C of Lyndonville by the score of
81 to II loosely played game
which was exciting at intervals.
Company c could not seem to be
able to get started at all.
The first period ended II to 8
in Company Is favor and the sec
ond period started off with a flash
but Company l. proved the ag-
gressor and finished this period
10 to 8.
The third and last period was
exciting at times when both
teams started to rough things up
a little and the small crowd was
anxious to see Company c pile up
a few baskets. Both teams were
getting tired anc the game fl
nally ended Company LIS favor. S.
Company L has a fairly strong
team and with practice will be
one Of the strongest aggregations
in this part of the state.
