Contemplating Basketball Scoring Trends and Local Sports Notes
This column laments rising three point scoring and the drift toward higher scores in basketball, urges a return to earlier foul shot rules, and then shifts to a fishing derby on February 5 at Camp Ellis ponds. It also previews the New England boat show at Commonwealth Armory in Boston, opening February 17, with 150 lines of boats and a focus on sailboats. The piece recalls a Thornton Academy hockey game from 1921 and notes the team’s early season 0-0 draw with Dover, NH.
