lifting BASKETBALL 1927-28 This yearfs Basketball team promised to be a reproduction of last year's team. Al- though losing Douglas, Hardy, Danyew and Harris, their places are being filled by Mose Manley, Jack Dube, Pratt and Whitney. The team this year is marked by its aggressiveness and pep. Providing it has the proper backing iinancially, as well as physically, they should be up among the winners. Manager Whitney and Mr. Wig- gin have arranged a very good schedule and already the results of their efforts are bearing fruit. ln the best games, the team was handicapped by green material. Lyons, last year's star forward, being in- eligible, was forced to Watch two games from the sidelines. In the Keene game, his first of the season, he came through in top form, winning the game for B. H. S. by a foul throw. In the Bellows Falls game, he repeated his former trick and won the game for us by a basket in the last 20 seconds. He was a valuable main- stay in our line-up in the Athol and Spring- field games. Lyons, Bill Manley, and Mose', Manley are now ineligible for the remainder of the season, due to failures in exams. LELAND AND GRAY AT ' BRATTLEBORO ln December, Leland and Gray Seminary of Townshend came to Brattleboro and played. The game was our first in the season and it marked the initial appear- ance of many of our players. Captain Ferriter, Mose and 'ABill Manley, Pratt and 'tJoe Baker started the game, but as the time wore on they were substituted by Campbell, Whitney, Dube and Phelps. Although we did not win by a top-heavy score, the boys played fine basketball. B. H. S. started scoring as soon as the first whistle blew, and all through the game L. G. S. never took the lead away. Early this season Leland and Gray had played Keene and lost 57-13. This made Keene a top-heavy favorite in the game here. Joe Ferritcr and Whitney played a fine game for B. H. S., and Bill Manley and Joe Baker were playing hard every minute. The substitutes showed a fine brand of basketball+Campbe1l and Dube especially. The score was 27-18 in favor of B. H. S. Zllibe tal KEENE VS. B. H. S. . Keene came here on january 6 with, per- haps, one of the fastest and cleanest teams they have ever presented on a local floor. The game was exciting from start to finish. Keene put the second team in for the first quarter and held our men for a 3 to 2 score. The second period was faster, Keene put in their first team, and made no points for the period, while Joe Ferriter made 3 baskets and Pat Lyons brought in two points on fouls. The third period was hard for Brattle- boro as Keene held us scoreless. Keene piled up ten points, putting her in the lead 12-ll. The fourth period was a hot contest, and the lead changed sides often between the two teams. Five points for the Purple and White, and 4 points for K. H. S. brought the score to 16 all. just before the whistle blew Pat Lyons dropped the ball through the hoop, with a foul shot, and won the game for B. H. S. l7-16. Joe Ferriter, who played center, was high-point man, with 5 baskets and 3 fouls to his credit. He was fast and had a good eye for the basket. Pat Lyons was good at forward, bring- ing in 4 points on fouls. Bill Manley played a fine game at forward, and Baker did especially Well, although he was handi- capped by a bad knee. Amidon did well for his first game, going in for Pratt at the end of the third period. Kimball was the high-point man for Keene, with 3 baskets and 2 fouls. Mitchell was next with 4 points, and Launet and Beverstock had 2 each. SPRINGFIELD AT BRATTLEBORO On Friday, the thirteenth, Springfield CVt.J came to Brattleboro and won a 35 to 12 victory. Springfield led all the way, getting 6 points in the first period while Brattleboro went scoreless. The playing was fast on both sides. Springiield's defense was espe- cially good, while Brattlebords passing was off form, The whole team seemed to have difficulty in holding onto the ball, and this gave it to Springfield many times. B. H. S. started Manley at center, Pratt at forward and Ferriter at guard, but they later played their old positions. Tarro hooped 2 floor baskets and Nick- erson one in the first period, bringing the score to 6-0. ln the second period, the playing started with one basket by Pat Lyons for Brat- tleboro. Nickerson made two baskets in quick succession and Dressell made good two free throws. Ferriter made one bas- ket and Lyons scored a point on a foul.

The game became faster in the second half and the lead sea-sawed back and forth until, with but thirty seconds to play, Pat Lyons recovered the ball from Fish, of Bellows Falls, and sunk what proved the winning basket, Mose Manley, playing center, was high scorer for Brat- tleboro with eight points. Lyons, in addi- tion to securing the winning basket, got two fouls, while Ferriter got two baskets. Bill Manley secured one pretty shot from the side of the floor, while joe Baker's close guarding was one of the high lights of the game.
