Hendricks Polishing
Waterville Quintet
For WinslOW Game

Waterville, Feb. 27-Today in the
high school gym Bullet" Hendricks
will put his court charges through
the hardest scrimmage of the year in
preparation for the Winslow game
Friday. There will be no limit to the
work given the boys today. The
coach will perfect his passing work.
This will play an important part In
the game. Coach Hendricks realizes
that the floor is exceptionally small
but figures that If the Team pass well
on n large floor they will not have
much trouble in passing on smaller
surface. He has worked hard on his
defense. On such a small floor the
defense of the local boys ought to

Winslow has an advantage on play

Watervtlle has five subs. each capable

good man will be able to take his
place.

Drawback to Affection
Inspired BY a Horse

am not, as | say, sentimental about
horses; have never yet seen a man a
horse liked as well as a nice bundle Of
hay, writes Guy Struthers Burt in the
Saturday Evening Post. But on the
other hand, If you have ridden one
horse lot and know all his little ways
and he knows all yours, and if you
have ridden many lonely and some
times dark miles with him, after a
while you begin to cherish an affection
for him against your better sense.
There's a sweet, warm, companions
able feeling to the ripping muscles Of
his neck when you put your bare hand
against them on a pitch-black deserted
trail, almost, although not quite SO
much company as you get out of dog
in camp. And as for Joe, If you miss
the trail in the dark and try to turn
off it he will do his best to buck with
you.
There's one thing about being with
such short-lived things as horses and
dogs that isn't pleasant. You under.
stand what age is too soon. Here Is
Joe getting old-and he's sixteen. You
get too much an impression of the
flight of time. A wise man should
keep an elephant and always feel
young.
