6 BULKELEY NEWS The Academy had no regular team for B. S. to trim. However an Independent Team from the up river school was played and badly defeated. Capt. “Mickey” Shea had ample revenge on Capt. “Jack” Gallivati for the events of Nov. 20, 1909. The largest crowd of the season was present to see the “ fireworks.” Score 29-12. The second game of the series and with it the city championship was won from the Training School Team. This was a very rough and fiercely fought contest. Bulkeley had better team work and a better eye for the basket than the M. T. S. boys. At the end of the first halt the Orange and Black was ahead. The good work was kept up through the second period Training never being dangerous. Noble, Shea and McGinley were the stars of the contest. Score 34-22. Lineup and Summary Bulkeley M. T. S.
