Coach Pierce of Cony il going 10 de.
velop winter sports team to enter the
| carnival and plans to have the team
which will give the best of them a
race for the cup. Coach Pierce was in
| Gorham, y. H, during the past week
and picked up many valuable pointers
| on the winter sports which are coming
| into prominence more and more each
year. The coach figures that a school
the size of Augusta is entitled to an.
mex few of the prizes at the carni-
val and should find material enough
TO keep the cup in the Capital City this
| season.
Westbrook, the home Of the cham
pionship basketball team last year at
the Bates tournament. is the latest
town to start an agitation for basket
| ball without excessive technicality.
| The Westbrook News of last week
| printed well-written editorial on the
fact that the only way to bring the
game up to the popularity II deserves
Is to have the teams In constant ac-
ton with minimum of penalizing.
| Eddie Roundy, coach at Colby COL
lege and former star ON the ST.
| Lawrence college quintet. will prob
ably handle the whistle in the bulk
OF the Cony games this winter.
Roundy did good job last winter
and the teams on the Cony scheduls
this winter announce that, his selec-
ton is agreeable to them.
! Roundy Is in attendance this week
at the meeting of the football coach
es in New York City. He will be
home In time to referee the Cony-

II Augusta really wants good
hockey club there will be little diff
Guilty in getting fast players to rep
resent the Capital City on the ice.
John Stanley, for three years star
defense man on the Bates varsity,
who at present is teaching in Wash
ington, Maine is not connected with
any club as vet this season and he
would probably be willing to come
to Augusta for games. His presence
on any team guarantees that at least
one of the defense positions would be
well taken care Of.
\ watervile and Brownville, both
I fast teams. are very anxious to dis
play their wares on an Augusta rink
and have written for games already.
A game with Waterville Is probable
but the Brownvile team will have to
come down on the demands II they
expect to show their wares in this
vicinity. The management of the
Brownville team wishes a century
note for bringing his team to this
climate and it is probable that the
teams journey will end in Water
vile. with whom game has been
arranged.
The Cony teams will practice for
the rest of this week. The girls will
practice today and Thursday and the
boys tomorrow at the usual time.
The boards for the hockey rink
were put up last evening after the
skaters were gone and the rink Is
now ready for hockey. Bradstreet.
Beaton, Hayden, Lister, Morton,
Marston. Hunnewell. Hilton. Herrick,
Hunt, Bjlodeau and several others

these players are members OF last
falls football squad and are in good
condition for the opening game of
the year. There will be practice on
the rink today.
