CONY LEADS BANGOR
ALL THE Way IN HARD
FOUGHT GAME 37-26
n fast and well contested game

In a fast and well contested game
Saturday evening, Conv High took
the measure of the Bareor High boys
by a score of 81 to 26. Cony had
things much their own way in the
first half which closed with the score
81 for Cony to 10 for Bangor, but in
the last half Bangor out played the
Cony boys ard showed some pretty
passing and shooting.
Taking the game as a whole. Cony
outplayed the Bangor team by a
good margin making IA floor goals TO
the seven of the Bangor boys. The
game was often interrupted by the
calling OF fouls and Bangor made
within two points as much on fouls
as they did by floor goals. Cony
nctted nine fouls.
Brennan and harrington played
their usual fine game. which is get
ting 10 he so common with them that
i: excited no comment, while Wins
low. Hall and Knowles also showed
up to good advantage, Knowles es-
pecialy showing fine on the defense.
Several long shots by harrington,
Brennan and Winslow brought the
crowd to their feet. as they fell
through the hoop and this style of
shooting helped much in the Cony
score.
Near the end Of the last period.
Brennan received an injury to his
head and Coach Thompson thought
that it would be best to take him out
Of the game. Poor was sent in at
center in his place.
Seavcv the Bangor captain was the
high scorer for the visitors netting
three from the floor and II from
fouls. KanerkovitZ. the Bangor right
forward and McClay, later put into
the game at center each netted two
from the floor.
