Announce COburn
Basketball Schedule
for Coming Season

Especial to the kenneDec JournaD
! Waterville, Dec. 4.-The Cohurn
basketball schedule was announced to-
day by Coach Ray Haines and in the
list of 81 games the institute boys have
|. some tough battles. The first game
will be with the Colby freshmen at
| Waterville on Jan. II. Two good
games will be with Northwestern Uni
| versity. the first one at Waterville and
the second one at Boston. Ten Of the
contests will be at home and II in for
eign fields.
Coach Haines arrived at the insti-
tute yesterday after passing the week
end at Harvard, where the Harvard
freshmen and the Harvard second bas-
ketball teams gave a demonstration of
the new basketball rules. He told of
the changes at the assembly hall this
nounced the basketball schedule. The
rules have changed somewhat since
last year. One notable change is that
the man on whom a foul is committed
must make the free try for the point
himself. Also the rule when man
, Is fouled while shooting he may have
two free tries. This does away with
a team having one good man shooting
all the fouls.
The Coburn basketball season this
year will be hard one. Besides the
Northeastern University games there
will be contests with Andover Acad-
bron, Westbrook Seminary and Kents
Hill. The last three games arei in the
State series.
The class games start Wednesday,
Dec. 5, at P. NJ, in the Coburn gym.
No basketball letter men will be al
lowed to play. Coach Haines will have
chance to pick his fifth man for the
team, as four regulars are left from
last years quintet-Adams, the six
foot-four center one of the best seen
ir this section for many day: Heime
Shanahan and McCroary as forwards
| work we'll together. Shanahan. for
merly of Edward Little High, is very
! clever at passing. and McCroary has no
mean eye. Capt. Dutch" Fielder is a
ceol-headed defense man. His man
very seldom gets many baskets and he
practically always outscores his OPP
ronent. That leaves one defense posi-
| ton open and plenty of material to
| choose from. The schedule is as fol-
