Cony Is Victor,

The fastest basketball game of the
season IN which the Waterville High
school boys have participated was
played Saturday night with the Cony
High boys from Augusta, the local
team winning by score of II .o9.
At the end of the first half the score
was to in favor of the home team.
The visiting boys, however, found diff :
Guilty in getting accustomed to the low
ceiling in the High school gymnasium
and did not play to the best ADVANTAGE.
In the last half, however the down
river boys came into their own and
pa,yed fen snappy game. The work
OF the guards, Perkins and O'Brien on
the Waterville team prevented the Au-
susta boys from making several bas-
hets at times when there We're good
openings.
The passing by both teams in the
last half was particularly good. The
Cony boys. however, were too anyious
and missed some good shots, while the
Watervilel boys being cooler had bet
ter success. Hutchins and Nc
