Alumni, To-
Lumber Co., e.

The. Cony High school alumni bas
ketball team defeated the Augusta
Lumber Co team, 26 to 6, in a one
sided but interesting game of basket
ball. Friday evening, at the Select
Roller rink \ noticeable feature of
the evening was the spirit shown by
the Augusta Lumber Co. rooters, who
occupied seats at the southeast end
of the hall. and kept continuously
roofing for their team. The Lumber
Co. boys were a triie wild at times,
and missed many good opportunities
to shoot goals from good positions.
Dow of the Alumni team was in fine
form and obtained the first three
goals for the winning side Capt
Mclaughlin of the Lumber Co team
secured the first basket for his side
and also did excellent covering
throughout The game was rough and
two or three times the referee was
forced to stop it.
The Alumni team started off in the
lead and had u points to their credit
before the losing team had secured
single basket. At the end of the first
period the score stood 10 to in ia
vor of the Alumni. The Alumni bunch
seemed to be mucn TOO SnappS Tor
their opponents in this period, and it
bothered the Lumber Co. boys TO coy
err their men
The Augusta Lumber Co. FIVE walk
ed out onto the floor in the second
period, determined to cut down their
opponents lead and they did play
much better for the first few min
utes Then the Alumni aggregation
began to increase their head again.
Among the men who deserve spe-

team We're Dow. Pierce and Maddox

that his opponent got a chance to at
