OUT FOR COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP.
Csrrabassetts Will Endeavor to DupIi-
cate Last Years Record.

North Arson, Me-, Dec. 4.-(SpeciaD.
The Carrabassett basketball team of
North Arson, which won the cham
pienship Of Somerset county, last year,
will try. this year, to duplicate or ex-
eel its record of 1901.
The team. this year, will be under
the leadership Of Lester Williams, left
guard on last years championship
team. f. f. Noddin, right guard and
captain of last years team, will act as
manager.
Although handicapped by the loss of
three players of last years team, it is
hoped that the Carrabassets of 1911-12
will be the fastest aggregation of bas-
ketball players that ever represented
North Arson.
The return of Ed w. Scott to the
game ought to greatly strengthen the
team Scott played center on the Car
rahassetts a few years ago, but for the
pest two years has played little. II he
can como back" and show the form he
exhibited as center, a few years ago,
that position ought to cause Captain
Williams little anxiety.
The vacancies in last years lineup
will be filed by local players who
