Gardiner. Me-, Feb. 6-Gardiner
High COPIED two easy victories from
their old Cony rivals here tonight. the
boys winning 1910. while the Gardi-
ner lassies showed the way to the
Cony girls 26-12. The games were
played before a crowd that filled the
gym to capacity, and as Cony
brought down a goodly bunch Of sup
porters there was plenty of cheering.
"Fido" Anketell led the scoring for
the locals with six pretty shots from
the floor and six fouls. Gardiner led
all the way. the score at the end Of
the half being 1874. The locals show
ed a pretty passing game and made
good on practically all Of their shots
at the hoop in the first half.
Cony came back strong in the final
period and for a few minutes 1t look
ed as If the tables might then be
turned. but Gardiner woke UP and
ran the score up we'll into the twen-
ties while Cony collected two baskets
and a couple of fouls. In the final
quarter Coach Mckinley sent in some
subs. but the game was already sew
ed up and besides the prettiest shot
Of the year by Chef Rose there were
no more thrills in the Cony Gardiner
classic.
The girls game. which was played
first, was as efficiently handled as
could be by Miss Francis of Bates.
who kept things moving every min
ute. Gardeners hopes for victory
were dashed in the first minute Of
play when Mana Marson. star for
ward for three years. collapsed on
the floor. Miss Marson had been out
of school for several days suffering
with throat trouble and. as has been
her custom. continued playing in the
face Of these great odds. The strain
was too much for her. however. and
tho pluckiest forward in Central
Maine had to be carried off the floor.
The Gardiner fans were ready to
give up when Beryl Brown was call
ed to fill the breach. And before the
final whistle was blown this diminu-
tive forward had shot three baskets
and five fouls. She made an excel
lent teammate for Captain Marie
Williams. who with her usual brill
lance shot six baskets as we'll as a
foul shot.
Gardiner also led all the way in
this game, the score at the end Of the
half being 14-7. The centers fought
hard and clean all the way and the
fast forwards from the Capital City
found it hard work to get by Will
liams and Rose. Captain Getchell
an1 Moulton were the shining lights
for Cony.
