BASKETBALL GAMES.
Colby, Colby Freshmen and Taconnet
Club, the Winners.

Colby defeated the University of
Maine at basketball in the Colby gym
nasium, Saturday evening, by score
of IA to II. in a red hot game. There
was a good crowd in attendance and
everyone was well pleased with the en-
tertainment. Maine defeated Colby in
the first game, played at Orono, but
the latter has been improving very rap
idly since then and had things all her
own way in the second game. The
home team started in with a dash and
spirit that fairly took the visitors Oft
their feet and at the end of the first
half the score stood IL to 6.
The visitors took a brace in the Sec
ond half and made it much more diff
cult to throw goals, but Colby kept hel
lead all right and won out by good
margin. The fouls were kept down to
a reasonable figure, each side making
the same number. Although very fast
and hot there was little unnecessary
roughness and scarcely any kicking by
either side. 1t was one of the best ex-
hibitions of basketball yet seen in the
city as both teams played a heady
game, making the finer points count.
The freshmen succeeded in downing
their old enemies, the soDhomores, in
a fast game, although the margin was
pretty small. This made a fine SUBJ
game for the evening. Messrs. Ross
and Vail gave fine exhibition of fam
cy tumbling as an additional attrac-
ton and were heartily apDlauded for
every act done. Both worked with an
ease and grace that could hardly be
