Although never headed but so close
to it up to the last five minutes of
play that it was a case of play the
game, the Cony High girls basket
ball seXtet annexed another to its
already long string of victories when
it defeated the strong Deering High
team Friday afternoon at Assembly
hall by the final score of II to 6,
and claim the championship of Maine
Three hundred people witnessed the
contest, which was full of thrilling
and spectacular plays. With the sting
of defeat on their home floor at the
hands of the Cony team earlier in the
season, Deering came to Augusta with
the determination to win and the way
that they started off in the second
period it looked as though they were
going to sustain their contention.
Three ten-minute periods were played
and there was not dull moment in
the whole game. The bright particular
star of the contest in the point get
ting was Doris Haskell. Miss Haskell
put up her usual strong game and
scored IL out of the IA points secured
by her team, contributing four goals
from floor and four fouls. Miss
Thompson. who played the other for
ward position. also played in a spec
tacular manner.
The first period started off with a
rush. The ball was thrown up in the
center, one pass to Miss Haskell, and
basket From then on to the end of
the period it was a pretty exhibition,
both teams fought to the limit and
the period closed with Cony in the
lead, to 8.
In the second period Deering un
corked a line of attack that for 81
time was bcwildering to the Cony ag-
gregation. Miss Queen, who played
right forward and who was easily the
star for the losers, worked with her
side partner, Miss Haskins, to per-
lection, and although but one point
was scored in this period and that
by the down river team, Deering
clearly outclassed Cony in passing.
In the last period Cony came back
and in the last five srninutes secured
| lead that its opponents We're unable
to overtake. At the beginning of the
period Miss Pinkham, the Deering
side center, Gagged the leather from
the center of the floor, a shot which
was easily the feature of the game.
With the score of 7 to IL was time
that something was done. Cony's
scoring machine got busy and secured
lead that proved the undoing of
its opponents. Miss Leighton and
Miss Chernowsky, the star Cony
backs, proved equal to the occasion,
and succeeded in holding the oppo-
nents' forwards, Miss Queen and Miss
Haskins, we'll in check. The whole
Cony team played fast and hard and
showed the effects of good coaching,
and while the down river team lost,
it put up an excellent exhibition. The
