Next week the Cony hockey squad
will be treated to stiff dose OF
track work to get in trim for the
coming season. The team is cap
tanned by Pete Bradstreet this year
and the Cony leader will have some
fast men working for positions on
the team. Lister Beaton, Hayden,
Lishness, Marston, Bilodeau, Hilton.
Merrick and host of others have
signified their intentions of trying
out for the team and the competition
should be keen.
Coach Pierce has written to sew
eral high school puck teams in the
State and Lewiston, and Wateryille
will play here this winter while
Deering is uncertain as to whether
or not she will support a team this
season. The coach is also trying to
sign up the fast Rumford team to
play against Cony in this city dur
ing the Winter Carnival. The Rum
ford team grabbed 10 decision:
from the Augusta crew last year
and the latter hope to reverse the
decision when the two teams meet
this season.
Although Cony lost to Gloucester
by the rather decisive score of 300
the school officials in the Bay State
announced that they considered the
Cony team to be one of the best
teams they had encountered during
the season and that they also had
a wholesome respect for the sports
manlike conduct of every member of
the team. The Bay Staters express
ed a desire to play Cony again this
year.
Only toe often there is an I'M
pleasant aftermath to intersectional
games when football players are
seized with desire to leave quarters
without permission and numerous
other infractions of the training
rules, but there was not single in
stance of this on the Gloucester trip.
Most of the boys went to Boston
after the game with Coach Pierce
and enjoyed themselves by visiting
different points of interest in that
city.
Principal Perkins showed his APP
probation of the teams efforts by
accompanying the boys to Glouces-
ter despite the fact that he had
numerous invitations to go else

for unquestioned sportsmanlike
methods and principal extr emely
loyal to the athletic teams of his
school, can bring more credit to an
institution than an OUTFIT that turns
in an undefeated slate at the end of
the season won by questionable
tactics.
Tonight the Cony High squad will
know who is to lead them for the
season of 1926. In boiling down the
achievements of each member of the
squad who will be back in toys next
season the record of '"rubby" Hill
ton, center on the eleven this year
is commendable. Hilton has played
against the best and most seasoned
centers in the State this year and
while outweighed on several &C.
occasions has not been outplayed to
any great extent. He will probably
be a leading candidate for the honor
tonight.
