ACADEMY WINS
FROM ORLEANS
BY 30-29 SCORE
With 15 Seconda to Play
Goss Hurls In Shot
That Wins
St. Johnsbury Academ" won its
second game of the season in n
fast exciting contest with Orleans
High school at Orleans last night
by a score of 30 to 29. With fif
teen seconds left to go, Goss the
steri ing Academy right guard, ac
eepting a pass, dashed down the
floor and tallied a goal that put
the Academy boys ono point ahead
of their opponents. j
The game was an exciting affair
from start to finish. Both teams
gave a fine exhioition of guarding
and passing, and no player was
able to shoot except in rare in
stances, without an opposing play
er at his side to contest the at
tempt. lMckinson and Pike were easily
the stars as far as baskets were
concerned, Dickinson makirig ten
of the points obtainefl by his team
and Pike, a dozen, eight of which
were free throws from fouls. Gal
lup starred for Orleans with a to
tal of 1!) points to his credit. This
man was every where on the floor
and his shooting was tnie and well
timed. The first period ended with,
the Academy leading with a score
of 17 to 12. I
The game was an exceedingly 1
clean contest - and the Academy
boys were impressed by the sports
manlike qualities of their hosts. i
After the game the Orleans stu-
dents gave a dance to which the
Academy boys were cordially en
tertained. One peculiar incident of the
game was whén the big leather
sphere became lost in the furnace.
Scruton was guarding Gallup
closely, when the later slipped and
dislodged a hot air radiator from
the floor, the ball disappearing
through the hole. Investigation
showed the ball to be in one of the
pipes of the furnace, from which
it was rescued. The score:

Features of the contest were
