All roads will lead to the City
Hall tonight when Hebron. and CO.
burn. State contenders for the Prep
school title of Maine. meet in a de-
Gliding battle. Both teams have met
on the court of battle and honors
stand even. each team having won
a game. Tonight's meeting will de-
eide upon which schools shelf the
state title will be packed away.
Coburn and Hebron are represen-
tative of two of the fastest leather
handling aggregations in the state.
Coburn has won IL of her II games
played, losing five only by a close
margin and Hebron has a similar
record. Augusta is fortunate in be-
ing selected as a proper place to
settle the tie. Lewiston was at first
thought of, but through objection, as
the team: fought one game at Lew
iston it was decided that Augusta
as q goodly number of followers
could easily journey TO tho Capital
City for the clash.
Coburn finished tho season sue
cessfull in hockey, claiming the
state championship and the school is
especially anxious in annexing the
basketball title. Hebron was not
quite as successful in hockey but
they're right on the job when it
comes to playing basketball as those
from Missouri will see tonight.
The biggest crowd that the City
Hall has fathered for a long while
is expected tonight, when followers
from all over the State journey to
the banks of the Kennebec to see
the battle royal. From the first blow
OF the whistle to the last the game
should be a hummer. A Hebron or
CobuEn fan that goes back to the
old home town tonight able to speak
above a whisper will find tough
reception. Hebron is bringing a lus-
ty bunch Of rooters and it is assured
that Coburn will be on the spot
with a goodly number to Offset He
bron. Local w. G. Y. devotces have
already planned to sign off this
evening as the local static created at
City Hall will make it impossible for
them to listen in.

COLBY INTER-FRAT
BASEBALL LEAGUE
NOT sure THING
Especial to Kennchcc JournaN


Waterville, March ia meeting of
the Colby Intcrmural Basketball
League which was to have been bold
this afternoon was cancelled because
of the fact that the president and one
other officer of the organization were
out of town on the college musical
clubs trip.
According to G. Harry Edwards di-
rector OF athletics at Colby College
and treasurer of the basketball league,
and Wilbur II. McAllister, '25, of Man
chester, n. H.. secretary, the purpose of
the meeting was to scttl lie the final bust
ness of the league in regard to the
awarding of the trophies in the form OF
Cakcn shields To the Alpha Tau Omega
and Non-fratei nifty teams for first and
second honors in the League. MI. Sd
wards had planned ut The time Of tkc
meeting t" suggest that toe fraternity
delegates WHO compose the arcaniza-
ton to Gerry in their recpe tive or
sanizations an appeal TO form Il base
hall organization utilizing the present
basketball league il possible to pro-
mote recreatioral baseball among the
seven fraternties and the non-frater-
nifty aEgrcGations.
Absolutely no action had been taken
and Mr.. Edwards stated that only he
and McAllister had any plans for the
proposed league with the fraternitios
and stated that the report in one of
the morning papers was erroneous IN
practically every detail. To begin WITH
the league was 10 play with tho regu-
lation soft indoor baseball which re-
quircs absolutely no equipment with
30
of the baseball mon would give to their
fraternity teams any support since the
game was such that talent along this
line was absolutely no use any stu
dent being able to play tho game with
out the slightest aptitude for base
ball as played by the varsity team.
Coach Parent would hardly lie inter-
ected in thcSe games as they would
not uncover ony material that the var
sity team might use to advantage.
No plans had been stated by any of
fciais of the league as they r.ere in
darkness as to Mr.. Edwards plans. Mr.
Edwards stated that the league would
be much like n twilight recreational
league in which the students partci-
pated for the love of exercise and
friendly competition. No fraternitics
or groups on the campus had been ap-
preached and no canvassing done to,
determine the sentiment of the organ
.1ation& towards such a league.
Should such league he favored by
the fratcrnities the organization will
arrange for program Of games with
all of the seven fraternities participant
ing and with one team representing
the non-fraternity men in college.
A meeting of the basketball associa-
ton will be called directly after the
spring recess to settle up the affairs
or the league. which has had a most
prosperous season and has developed
some fast teams in the race for the
first honors.

guard on the Crimson and Gold
team. Joe" went big with the
sport fans in and around Adams,
Mass. for the past few years and has
played in every game of football and
basketball since he entered the Wa
tervillc school. Mortoski has an eagle
eye for the basket and is one of the
best floor men on the Coburn team.
Mortoski will be on hand at the Au-
s,usta City hall all set to upset He
bron's chances for the state title.
Coburn will bring along George
Grady, Pete Averka and "Smiler"
Adams as a reserve force to stem
any advantage that Hebron might
get on the Cobrunites. Grady played
basketball for a year with the New
Haven, Conn.,, High school team be-
fore coming to Coburn, and has sew
eral years experience on factory
clubs. He was a strong factor on
the victors of the Urban League at
New Haven last season.
Averka of Lawrence, Mass, is the
youngest on the team and is but a
sophomore at Coburn and should
prove to be Of value to Coach Haines
before he graduates. Pete" played
for two seasons on a y. M. c. A.
team in his home town and is will
ing to give all he has in him if he
is called on to show his wares in
the big game.
Loriston "Smiler" Adams is prob
ably the most popular prep school
athlete in the State. For two years
he has been n strong factor on the
Coburn football teams and aided the
Crimson to win the State prep
school championship in basketball
last year. "Smiler" is a clever man
and is always where he is needed the
most in any game. Adams has been
out of the running the past season,
due to Illness, but will be ready for
the fray with the Big Green.

IN SEASONS GAMES

Especial to The Kennebec Journal)
Waterville. Mar. 19.-The Coburn
basketeers have tossed up a fine
record ibis season of 1924. Capt.
Fielder and his men have played
II games and II Of them have been
victories. with only five very close
defeats.
Although the team has had some
setbacks during the year, such as
injuries and men being down in
their studies, the hardest blow
comes when they need all they have
to beat Hebron. The misfortune is
the losing of "Bill' Brennan, who in
the Hebron game played at Water
vile played center, forward and
guard. AS he is not in school now
it will be a tough break for the
Crimson. But the Coburnites are
not downhearted but are going to
fight harder than ever for the title
tonight.
Coach Haines' outfit in spite of
their hard schedule are in the pink
of condition and had q lay-off yes

What points should a player
consider in selecting a mashie
that will suit his style Of play ?
l.. Answered by
JOHN BLACK
1.-THE Carpenter Of Troon," whoss
great 9amcEess ana mastery OF golf
mako him feared at all tournaments.
Particularly competent on approach
shots.
In selecting q maShie the player
should pay particular attention to
the lay Of the club. The mashie
should rest on the heel and have the
point OF the club clear of the ground.
II you select n mashie that Is too fiat
and which rests on the point when
you make the stroke, the point will
catch the ground, the club will turn
In your hands, and the ball will go
off to the right. Care should be
taken in regard to the loft. Do not
select q mashie with too much loft
or you will be forcing the stroke to
get the distance. The shaft should
be stiff and not too thick, so that
you can feel the head Of the club.
The weight OF the club should be
about 10 ounces.
