Comets to Play Wassets
In Basketball Opener

Tuesday, Nov. % the Colby Comets
will break out into new season by
playing the Wassets, of Auburn, in
game of the season. They have been
practicing hard all the season and are
ready to meet the best team in the
State. A great many Of the old men
have returned but as the team will
lose Smith Dunnack and Donald
Smith by graduation new men will
have to be looked over to get material
for the positions. Manager Snow
claims the fastest floor guard in the
State in the form of John Burke, who
played with the Comets three years
ago. Burke is going good and al
though not up to the old form quite
yet he has a week to get ready Bull
lett Hendricks, another old hand, is
back and will probably take care of
one of the forward positions. "Bul-
lett" has been playing with the Cres-
ent A. c. the past few years he was
out of college and as that team plays
the Celtics and other large teams
around New York, he should work in
very good. Lowery. of Colby foot
ball fame is showing improvement
and is great deal faster than pre-
vious years. Lowery plays 81 guard
position. The other forward will be
Johnny Lampher who has played
with the Comets two years and the
center will probably be Swedo En-
holm also football man. "Swede"
played on the Comet team last year
and before that was known around
birmingham as a fast man on the
floor, being both a defensive and Of
fensive man.
The Nassets are captained by Ar
thur ]. Colder at forward, who play
ed at forward with the Comets in
1918. He plays all positions and will
probably play the center position
Tuesday night. The rest of the team
are made up of a pair of brothers, the
Watson brothers and the Moulton
brothers. The Watson play forward
positions and the Moultons play
guards. Bill Moultan is a Bates foot
ball man and has all the chances of
being picked for one of the All Maine
halfback places. Ginger Fraser will
be tho referee. There will be dance
, after the game.
