The Ellsworth A. c. basketball
team is putting up a brand OF bas-
ketball that wins games and draws
crowds. The Ellsworth boys do
not take kindly to a strange floor,
but on their home floor the team
that beats them has to show some
speed. At Orono last Wednesday
evening Ellsworth lost to the Am
erican Legion team by the score of
46 to "a. Friday evening the Yea
zie A. A. team came down to Ellis
worth with about fifty loyal root
ers." The Ellsworth boys were too
fast for them. Score, 1917 in ia
vor of Ellsworth. This week the
Ellsworth team has two games
scheduled with fast teams on the
home floor. Tonight Moran's All
Stars of Bar Harbor will be the VS.
itors, and tomorrow Calais A, p.
will Journey to Ellsworth. With
the Ellsworth team going as it is just
now, basketball enthusiasm is at
its height in Ellsworth, and big
crowds will undoubtedly be out to
see these games. The games will
start little later than usual to al
low those who wish to see the fea-
ture pictures at the Dirigo, which
will be the first on the screen both
evenings.
