The Oldtown A. A. basket bali team will
pay their first visit to Ellsworth Friday
evening Of this week, to meet the Ellis

should be thriller, ss both teams have
fine records this season. The popularity
OF the Ellsworth five does not wane, for
one Of the largest crowds seen at q game
this season witnessed the defeat OF Hig-
gins classical institute team last Friday,
by the score of 29-14. The local at hletics
have reputation for clean, fair play, but
they can apply methods Of play that will

ing aggregation offers. In any event, next
Fridays game should give the "fans" a
chance to see real contest.
