Basket Ball.

n. Il. 8. 81; LEWISTON AoHAwKs 8.
II hardly seems fair to call what took
place At the Norway Opera House Friday
evening basket ball game, 1t seemed
much more lie little team practice for
the home players. If the visitors knew
anything about the game they had very
poor way of showing It, and about all
the amusement the large crowd OF spec
tators got was In poking fun at them.
They couldn't throw baskets even In
practice, when there was nothing to
bother them, and as for guarding the
Norway players, they often stood still
and watched them shoot without max
ing any attempt to hinder them In their
efforts to cage the ball.
The first half ended with the score "a
to o In favor of the home team, and in
the second half with two substitutes
playing the forward positions for the
Norway team, they added 81 more points
while the visitors managed to throw one
basket from the floor and get one basket
on foul, which made their grand total
of three points for the evenings play.
Sanderson threw twelve baskets, play
ing only in the 6rst half, while Andrews,
who took his place, shot six baskets In
the last half. Smith played . rafting
good game all the way, and while be
prevented bis forward from throwing
basket, he found opportunity to cage the
ball ten times himself. Hall, the sub
stitute who took Haskell's place, threw
four baskets in the last half.
Norway high is scheduled to play the
Portland Independents next Friday even
ing, and fast game is expected. The
Portland team is semi-professioDal and
plays all the best teams In the state.
The local management realize that the
Portland team is reported to be a little
out of their class, but their school stand
ing will not be affec'ed in case Of de-
feat, and their supporters are not ready
to admit that the visitors can defeat the
high school players on their own floor.
One thing is sure, the Norway boys will
play the best basket ball they know, and
that is good enough.
