The Colby basketball team was get
ting into trim Friday afternoon for the
game this evening with the fast Uni
versity Of Maine five. which defeated
It at Orono last week. The game Will
be a hotly contested one. the local
bays having the advantage that Maine
enjoyed in the previous game of play
ing on their own floor. The Colby gym
nasium is a little too small for basket
ball and discommodes even the men
who are familiar with 1t in the midst OF
a close and exciting game. The chiet
difficulty lies In the overhead opstruc-
tions which are avoided only after con-
slant practice. consequently the shp-
perry ball room floor upon which visi-
tors skate" when they try to play
basketball in OrOno Is about compen-
sated for when the Maine boys come 10
Colby.
