RED TRIANGLE
QUINTETS BATTLE
HERE SATURDAY

The first Y. N. G. A. basket tour
ney attempted in Maine polished
court circles. TO be held at Augusta
this Saturday evening promises TO be
one of the most attractive sport
events OF the basketball season for
Capital City fans. With seven teams
entered in the tournament, making
five games in all. the fans OF this
city will undoubtedly see some OF the
best basketball ever seen on local
floors.
Augusta "Y" will be represented
by two strong teams. one in the
Junior, or boys division and the
other In the Senior, or mems divi-
sion. Both these teams have been
practlcing hard for the last two
weeks and are fast rounding into
Al shape for the coming conflict.
Auburn and Bath are sending
teams representing both Senior and
Junior divisions. Word received
from these two "Y's" shows they
are putting in some hard practice
before travelling to Augusta for the
clash. Bangor ~" Will be repre-
gcnted by one team only, in the Sem
Tor division. Bangor Is a great bas-
ketball town. as touring quintets
have found out 10 their sorrow this
season. Teams around and at Ban
gor have chewed up every invading
team this year and II is a mighty
fast quintet that hands them the
small end OF a score.
Augusta fans have never had such
a chance TO get their moneys worth
as they have at these clashes. Start
ing in tho afternoon at = o'clock the
preliminary contests will be played
off. In the evening at 10. the sur
vlvors of the preliminary games will
battle for the State title.
Those who have been following
the work of the local Y. NJ. G.. A.
team this season will have no doubt
as TO their ability to handle the
leather. The Red Triangle team
took the measure OF all the repre-
scntativcs in the State League,
claiming the Augusta League title.
Besides the regular ''Y" team num-
her of other fast hoop tossers.
members of the Cony High quintet
or other fast city teams furnish n
dandy bunch OF material to pick the
teams from.
This "i" tourney comes as fit-
ting climax 10 basketball activities
in Augusta this week. All interest
has been centcred on the Cohurn-
Hebron Prep school title clash which
was held last evening. Tomorrow
nights clash should be the diadem
of attraction as Augusta folks are
anxious To keep the State "f"
championship honors in the Capital

HEBRON HOOPSTERS SHADE
COBURN IN THRILLING CLASH
FOR PREP SCHOOL TITLE STATE

Townsend scored high for Hebron

Beach. the mountainous Hebron
center. moved about the floor with
remarkab BILE speed for q large man
and was one Of the deciding factors
in the Hebron win. He was in prac-
tically every play but had hard
time shooting. Hobbs. his teammate,
was very dangerous man and came
through with three goals.
Martoski. McCroary and Fielder
were the stars for Coach Haynes
youngsters and they put up a mighty
plucky battle and staged near
comeback that had the fans gaspinS
when the battle was over
Hebron seemed to excel in the fine
points OF the game, and showed an
especially fine five man defense.
They formed Immediately the Coburn
boys got the pill and Coburn seemed
unable 10 get through for the first
three periods. In the fourth. how
ever. they apparently got the COM
bination and the defense did not
function as smoothly as before.
Hebron pivotted much throughout
the game and the Cohurn boys
charged time after time only to find
that that was the wrong thing 10 do.
The game was one of the fastest
that have been seen in this city for
many 4 day and the passing at all
times was rapid and smooth.
A crowd of about 200 people wit
messed the game and the excitement
1t all times was intense. The Hebron
rooters occupied one side of the floor
and the Coburn rooters the other,
and both groups tried their best 10
drown out the cheers of the other.
The Hebron rooters went Cohurn one
better by bringing over an orchestra
and with the City hall piano they
had wonderful time. playing popu-
lar songs between halves and help
ing out on the cheering, After the
close Of the game the Hebron fans
went crazy. They marched about
the hall and then over the bridge.
winding about the silent policeman
and down Water street. In. front Of
the electric waiting room they cheer
ed themselves hoarse while waiting
for the special car which was to
take them TO Lewiston.

WateryilIe. Mar. 20.-The Water

will end their season this evening
in the High School gym. The boys
will play the Cony boys while the

Commerce OF Lewiston. AS these are
the last games to be played Bullet
Hendricks has been working his
charges to the limit as he wants to
finish the season with two wins.
In a game played earlier In the
season the local boys had one OF
the best opportunities to defeat Cony
on the latter's home floor that they
have had for some time. During
the week OF the game four of the
Waterville players were declared In
eligible. Nevertheless the boys
played a hard game but were cas-
lily defeated. Tonight Capt. Clap

from all appearances it would have
meant a defeat for the Capital City
maidens. In place of this team
Manager Heron has secured the
Haine School OF Commerce. Not
much is known of the strength OF
this team.
At present the girls are considered
logical contenders for the State
bunting. They suffered only one de-
feat this season that at the hands
of Skowhegan at Skowhegan by only
one point. In view of the fact that
;kowhegan was defeated here by
the score Of "A to 5. a challenge has
been sent to the Skowhegan man
ager for another game to be played
on neutral floor. 1t Is also under
stood that the local girls will send
a challenge to the undefeated West
brook team. 1t is understood here
that the Westbrook team is anxious
to oppose the Waterville lassies. If
this game could be arranged 1t
would provide the fireworks Of the
season. 1t is the belief Of many
that the local girls could more than
hold their own with the down-State
champions.

The crimson team has gone SO far
this season without defeat and have
won over some OF the best teams in the
state.
Miss Pearce. who has coached the
Coburn girls for the past two years.

team takes the honors away from the

Coburn team has been running up ON
their opponents. They have played to-

The guard positions are well filled
by Miss Willctt and Miss Mace. Miss
Willett has had two years experience
and does 4 lot toward keeping the
leather at the other end of the floor.
Although Miss Mace is new on the list
she is by all means a very promising
individual. The Somerset danes Will
find it rather hand task to score on
this speedy pair.

others on fouls while Hebron only
succeeded In gathering two lone tall
lies via the foul route. Fielder the
Coburn captain was r, sponsible for
two of the Coburn goals in this peri

long shot from some distance back
of the center line. as one could want
to see. But a few seconds later his
team mates had shot several times

his hand.
In all. three Coburn men and two
Hebron men were taken out of the
game because of fouls. although the
ma iority of them went out in the
last two minutes of play. This does
not mean that the game was rough
