GARDINER TEAMS
WIN FRO N
HALL0WELL AICH

Especial to the Kennebec Journalj
Gardiner, Feb. 25--Gardiner high
cleaned up in basketball here tonight
with Hallowell high as opponents,
the boys winning a spirited contest
27-15 while the girls copied an
equally fast game 1871. The girls
game was played first, Hallowell
taking the led and seemingly having
the edge on the locals who were
weakened by the loss of their centers
Mcdonald and Weeks who are both
out of the game with sprained an
kles. 1t was a fast game through
out, there being considerable friend
ly ritalry between the two teams.
The score remained fairly even
throughout, and at no time was the
result certain. The substitute CEN
ters, Hubbard and Austin made ad-
mirable substitutes, the latter put
ting up a brand of basletbll that
marks here a sure conner for next
year.
Captain Williams and Brown were
closely guarded and could not break
away in their usual style. Williams
scored three field goals, while
Browne contributed two. The fans
went wild in the final quarter when
Mana Marson who has been out of
the game for several weeks went in
accompanied by Williams, who had
been taken up for rest. The game
was fast and furious from then On
but Rose and Williams by sheer fight
succeeded in holding the clever
visiting forwards.
The boys game started off slowly,
but before the final whistle blew it
had developed into one of the fast
est contests of the year. Here again
the visitors took the lead, and were
ahead by seven points at the end of
the half,and continued their fast
work in the third period. Seemingly
beaten Captain Rogers and his men
came back with a rush in the final
quater and scored basket after bas
ket in quicksuccession, until they
were far ahead. Here Coach Nc
Ginley sent in flock of subs, who
continued the good work of holding
the visitors. and added another two
points to the score. Capt. Rogers
played one of the best games of his
hard career while CLet Rose was an
other star. Luce was the shining
light for the visitors. HinkIey con-
tributed three baskets to the score.
Coach Mckinley has developed
ledill Will SOI1e ulSllnCtlNe passing
that had the visitors bewildered sew
eral times, and with Henderson and
Rogers 1t has stonewall defense.
The boys team goes to Lewiston on
Friday night where they will try to
avenge the defeat of last Friday.
