good when they can hold Haverhill to
a IS to Il score, after what Haverhill
did to the Wassitts in Auburn hall.
The game was fast and clean, no mix
ups. Sam Follansbee, the renowned
and famous captain of the team, the
same old Sam with the same old pose
that he used TO have while going aft
err wide one on first base when he
played with the Augusta team, can
play basketball and his faithful fol-
lowers are not far behind him at that.
1T is peculiar" said a WELL known
follower of basketball Saturday, that
the result of the game between Hav-
erhill and Springvale a few days ago
ended with an s to 0 score in favor or
the former" Not peculiar because the
former won particularly, but on ac-
count of the nature of the score. The
Springvale ex-Sanford team with VAL
! ley, Odgen, Finn, Horne and Flynn in
the make up, speaks for itself, they
have what is commonly and wisely
termed a reputation"
The Wassitts got theirs Saturday
night at Rumford, Is to II. Not the
| slightest surprise to the majority, but
where was Bill" Skinner? Can it
be possible that that left swing of
| O'Connors in the Boston Red Sox
game disabled him? Perhaps not, for
there is one other conclusion to draw;
Skinner is a barber and Saturday night
! is hard time to get away.
Springvale turned the tables on Hay-
erhill Saturday at Old Town hall, when
they defeated the Massachusetts team
| by a to score. Finn, the Spring
vale center secured two goals from
floor while Odgen obtained the other
Bob F'ollansbee was the only con-
tributor for the Haverhill quintet. How

problem. Something must be the mat

and Stuart forwards, Grenier and
Cooper backs. City hall with a cage
possibly. This looks good.
The Deering High school girls bas-
ketball team have a pair of forwards
that can really shoot. This team piled
up a total of % points to Westbrook
Seminary's two Miss Haskins and
Miss Queen, the Deering forwards, shot
6 and 7 goals respectively. Miss
Keefe, the left forward for Thornton
Academy, also has an eye, she con-
tributed from floor when her team
won out from South Portland Satur-
day by a 10 to score. However, these
same forwards, Miss Haskins ano
Miss Queen, were unable to shoot a
single basket off the Cony backs, which
speaks well for the defence of the To-
cal sextet.

can also do pretty good stunt al
shooting fouls. In the recent game
with Freeport she accepted 10 out OF
