All Stars, Eight
Lumber Co., 6.

The All-Star basketball fiveAdefeated
the Augusta Lumber Co. team. to G.
Friday evening, at the Select Roller
rink. The game was close and very
exciting throughout, and it was diff
f1eult to pick winner until the very
end of the last period. A big crowd
was present to witness the game and
they made the building echo at times
with the loud cheering for both teams.
The Augusta Lumber Co. team,
which has previously been beaten by
some very large scores. surprised the
spectators very much, Friday evening
by lis fast snappy work, and their
passing at times was excellent. The
All-Star team was weakened very
much by the loss of Capt. Fred
Thompson, who was unable to play
on account of a severe cold. The ALI
Star team evidently went into the
game, thinking that they had things
all their own way, but after the first
five minutes of play they found out
they would have to use all their skin
if they expected to win from their OPP
ponents.
Both teams fought hard from the
start and fully five minutes passed be-
fore either team was successful in OBJ
tanning a basket. Bowling of the Au-
guSta Lumber Co. team obtained the
first basket, and this was from a foul
but it was not long after he had made
his goal when Brown of the winning
team also shot goal from a foul
The Augusta Lumber Co. boys also
got one basket from the floor in the
five nd of he 81
half the score stood to /. in favor
of the Lumber Co. boys.
After the first five minutes of play
ing in the second period the score
stood 5 to / in favor of the Augusta
Lumber Co. aggregation, but at this
point the All-Star boys showed fine
burst of speed and succeeded in tying
the score The All-Star boys were not
satisfied, however, with the tie and
added three more points to their cred
it, making them a total of s. Dowl-
ing of the Lumber Co. team shot q
goal from a foul, making their score
g, where it stood to the end of the
game.
Capt. Mclaughlin of the losing team
played fine game. both at passing
and shooting baskets Bowling OF this
team also played a snappy game. For
the All Star team Peasley and Grenier
excelled. BY winning this game the
All-Star team is at the head of the
City League.

THE CONY SPIRIT.
High School Comes Back
In Alumni Game.
K. 0. K. A. Wins Close Game
With Second Team.
All Stars Find "Sawdust Eaters" a
Tough Proposition.

They say "They never come back" but
the Cony High school basketball team
showed it's ability to come back in strong
style at the Cony-Alumni game Friday
night, at the High school assembly hall.
After the overwhelming defeat which
the Cony boys received from the Dexter
team Feb g. a certain element of Cony's
self-styled supporters predicted with dol
orous certainty that Cony,s chances for d
winning team had already waned and
added that for the honor of the High
school in general the team should dis
band but the real Cony spirit came To
the front, and after a week of the hard
est kind of practice under Coach stuart
and Supt. Marshall, the team showed a
wonderful improvement Friday night, in
both passing the ball and In goal shoot
ing.
The game in itself was too ne-sd ed
to be interesting and from the first mo-
ment of play until the final whistle
sounded the Cony boys plainly outclassed
their older opponents When the final
moment of play was finished and count
was taken the score stood 50 to IA in ia
vor of the Cony team.
