Buddy" Winslow, former Cony
High star and basketball captain, is
going good in the Lewiston league
this winter, his floor work being
largely responsible for defeat
handed to the veteran league leaders
Thursday evening. With Winslow
on the Lewiston team is Chalky
Moulton, who teamed up with Win
slow on the Printers team in the
Augusta city league last winter.
The Bath A.. c.. which boasts of
several capable performers on the
polished court, among them Bill
Perkins of Morse High and Bates is
looking for opponents for this win
ter. 1t is possible that the seaporters
will be seen in action in this city
before the season ends.
December II will be a banner
night for boxing fans throughout the
country unless everything goes
wrong. The Mello- Shevlin, Berlen-
bach-Delaney, and Maloney-S harkey
are Just a few which. are scheduled
for this night.

basketball season for many high
schools in this part of the State.
With Morse, Cony. Edward Little
and a host of other teams Boosting
nearly all veteran aggregations the
sport should attract larger crowds
| than ever to the different cities this
winter.
It's always either a feast or a
famine. In times gone by especially
/ during the past few years basketball
has been poorly received by many
towns in this vicinity, winning
team drawing only a fair crowd and
| a team playing in tough luck not
even getting that. Neither Colby nor
Bates have sponsored the hoop game
during the past few years, preferring
| to turn their undivided attention to
| hockey This year everything has
changed. The Cony team. with an
almost veteran aggregation that
promises to stand well up with the
leaders when the wins and losses are
reckoned at the end of the season,
will play a goodly share of home
! games. Then there will be a semi
pro aggregation doing its stuff ac-
cording to all indications. When
these two teams are not playing
there is the city league which prom
| ises to blossom out into ten or
twelve team affair before the sea-
son gets under way. Just who will
draw the crowds is the question.
