! the back OF the warm wave, lne
Claremont, n. H.. basket tossers
were accorded a warmer reception
Friday evening at the Armory by
| the American Legion-Company d
hoop rattlers. In fact the recep-
! ton was so torrid that it had to
be doled out to the invaders in
three separate installments of Is
minutes each. At the end of the
first installment, the invaders
were heading the procession by a
scant hair, ) to A. When the gong
sounded the krell of hostilities in
the second session, St. Johnsbury
was clingino to supremacy by an
eye-lash, II to 10. AS taps was
blown over the finale, the domesti-
Gated basket tossers were resting.
as we'll as could be eNnected, on
the top of the % to - heap.
In other words, the thoroughly
domesticated local players served
three course dinner for their
guests. Covers were set for ten.
Claremont thou"ht the first course
would be like taking candy away
from the baby. But it wasn't so
easy. In the midst of the third
course, the visitors spilled the
hot soup, which was being dished
out to them in reversed order by
the domestics, and the party
broke up with the meal tickets
punched 22-15. Claremont paid
the bills.
In the absence of mentor
Chick Burch, i'll with a cold and
indisposed, "Lucky" isk presided
as host. "Lucky' did himself Nroud.
The burdens imposed upon him as
host rested Ike feathers upon his
shoulders, and he was all over the
basket ball court He sent four
beautiful shots simmering into the
hoop and ran the local five like
veteran.
It may have seemed to the 800
fans present that the principal
thing on the menu was "chicken'.
There were a total of 36 fouls"
called by referee Patrick j. hcn-
ny. Each team were awarded Is
free throws at the hoop, but this
department of both fves was woe
fully weak as St. Johnsbury secur-
ed but four goals from fouls out
Of the Is, while the invaders shot
but three out of the same number.
Referee kennev saw the minu-
test infraction of the playing
rules Friday evening, and did not
hesitate to call it. The new Off
cial halted all tendencies toward
the old rough and tumble tactics
of the past and laid the basis for
some very fast basketball in the
future. Players on both sides will
realize that they have to play the
game according to the rules here
after.
jim Foye, another Academy
star, filled in very creditablv at
left forward, in place of Coach
Burch recuperating from severe
cold. At the beginning OF the sec
ond period it was his two rapid
tosses into the mcshes that placed
the locals in the lead to which
they clung with bulldog tenacity
thereafter.
Bradbury and Richardson, the
leaders in the recent Claremont
victory, found themselves too well /
covered by Goslant and Marshall
to cut loose with an wild cavort- /
ing on the court. Goslant held !
Bradbury to two baskets, while
Marshall "laced has lengthy OPP
ronent in the shade with one goal. !
The local school-boy nivot helped
himself to two baskets
FIRST PERIOD
Referee Kenney began at once
by calling all the fouls. Bradbury
was holding Fisk and the latter
scored the first point of the game
on the awarded free throw. For
several minutes there was appar-
emily nothing but a succession of
either personal or technical fouls.
Jim Foye was impeding the pro-
gress of Russell his husky OPP
ponent, and the latter scored a
point on another free throw.
Albert Goslant thought he had
ten yards to go for St. Michael
his alma matcr-and was called
by the Official for running with
the ball Bradbury started the
scoring for his quintet when he
hand -balled the big sphere in after
q missed free throw. Dumas
scored d goal from foul, when
MfOuippau thp .~l.iyzlpd veteran
of the invaders, blocked him.
The solitary goal from the floor
made by the locals in the first pc
riod came via the Fisk-Fove route
The latter timed "a beautiful pass
into the waiting hands of Lucky"
