HEBRON TEAMS TO
PLAY A DOUBLE
HEADER FRIDAY

/
Hebron, Dec. S-The same as last
Friday night, Hebron will play a
| double header in basketball this
week. Last week, the Hebron team
A beat Bliss college of Lewiston,
while team B lost by one point to
the Portland Boys club, the score
being 1927.
AS last Friday, there will be no
| distinction between the teams. and
an effort will be made to win both
games. With so many men evenly
matched, it is very hard problem
to cut the squad down to dozen
or so. That is the reason Coach
Hollis is arranging two games for
Friday night. He wants to give
every man fair opportunitl to
show what he can do under re. The
scheduled game is with Portland
University, the Maine School of
Commerce being signed later.
Captain Small is playing a whale
of game at left guard and has
readily shown that he has all the
qualities that make him an admir-
able leader. Abbott, who has been
playing right guard regularly so far
this season, is showing even more
Improvement and should develop into
one of the best guards in the State.
Guptill, a former Deering captain
and Fraser of Somerville, have been
alternating with Small and Abbott
at guard on team A.
Jim Whisper of South Dartmouth.
Mass, seems to have the call on the
rest of the centers. His work last
Friday night, when he scored II
points. practically secured the job
for him.
Finlayson. the big red head from
Cambridge, has been eliminated from
the picture on account of failure in
his studies. However, he may be re-
instated after the Christmas recess.
Four forwards are leading the
fight for team A. They are Finn
of Cambridge, Mcclellan of West
brook. Wass of Southwest Harbor
and Ralph of Northeast Harbor. The
work of these men has been very
satisfactory SO far.
Team B has several stars in their
lineup at present. The forwards are
Lamb and Bailey of Portland and
Chamberlain from Island Falls.
Dick" Warren of Somerville, Mass,
together with Ed Lane of Arlington
are taking care of the center berth.
For guards, they have Muchmore
transfer from Kent's Hill last year
and Milton from Andover. Me. Other
possibilities for either team are:
Bling" Wing of Auburn, "Milt"
Wheeler of Lewiston, Packard of
Lewiston. Brown of Fairfield and
Kelleher of Cambridge. Mass.
The team has been practicing sig
nails lately, and tomorrow afternoon
teams A and B will line up for
snappy scrimmage. However, the
real extensive work will not start I'M
til after the Christmas vacation.
Coach Hollis does not expect to have
the first string material sorted out
much before the Exeter game on
January Goth. All the big games are
in February.
A big crowd is expected again
Friday night, as this is the last game
, prior to the Christmas vacation.
The seating capacity of the Hebron
gym is very unsatisfactory and last
week several of the students were
unable to gain admittance. However,
in spite of the fact, all those who
are fortunate enough to secure adj
mission are willing to stand or sit in
cramped conditions, in order to allow
as many as possible to see. the
games.
"A double win this week will make
up partly for the defeat of team B
by the Portland Boys club last Fri
day
