WESTBRoQk TAKES
C0BURN H0oPMEN
BY SURPRISE, $3.50
Especial to Kennebec Lournan


Waterville. Feb. 6.-The Westbrooll
Seminary basketball team sprang a
surprise in local circles this evening
by defeating the Coburn team $3.50.
The visitors played high-class basket
ball and their passing was about the
best seen here this season.
Coburn men did not play their usual
game and three were taken out of the
game by the personal foul route. This
probably accounted for the outcome of
the game. as the men were the stars
OF the Crimson and Gold and would
have been good forthe necessary
points to win. Yet the victory was
well earned and Westbrook can lie
said to be one Of the best teams to
appear on the local courts. Parnell,
the seminary right guard. was at the
height of his game and his five bas-
kets We're all gems.
Coburn did not play passing game
until the second half was under way
and the individual efforts of the team
did not prove to be fruitful. Druehl
and Shanahan did the best work for
Coburn while in the game but were
elected for four personals and the bur-
den of the scoring fell upon Martoski,
who played wonderful game in the
last period. He scored four baskets
and fought until the final whistle, but
to no avail.

ice at times fairly made the watchers

The solo work of both these grace
full opponents of graceful art was
remarkable for its beauty and the APP
parent ease with which each figure
was executed. Inside and outside
edges, both backward and forward,
leaps, pirouettes and many other diff
ficult and seemingly impossible ma
neuvers were performed with q sure
ness that was astonishing.
The skating committee has so ar
ranged the program that these two
marvellous skaters will appear twice
today, at 10 o'clock this morning and
at $50 this afternoon. Both appear
ances will be at the Cony High hockey
rink.
Rotary Noses Out Kiwanis
The feature race of the evening be-
tween the Augusta Rotary and XII
y!anis clubs developed much excite
ment among the spectators and in a
very close finish the Rotarians were
winners by a few scant feet. The
Kiwanis team was composed of Mar
tin, Maxcy, Briggs and Emery and
the Rotarians of Wadleigh, Hopkins,
Williams and Ingraham. The XII
wanians got off to a poor start and
when Maxcy handed the stick to
Briggs the latter had nearly three
quarters Of a lap to make up. This
he did and sent Emery away with a
good lead in the bargain. The latter
was overhauled on the home stretch
by Ingraham after a hard race and
the Rotarians managed to slide over
for win. "
In the boys obstacle race Beaton
Of Cony High took first with Tyson
Of Cony second. Beaton was the
only contestant who was able to re-
main on his feet for the entire dis
lance. as they were Obliged to jump
barrels on four occasions.
Miss Audrey Hanks in the girls
free for all got away strong and
maintained her lead over the whole
distance against the determined eff
forts of Agatha Casey who was sec
ond.
In the mems free for. all, Horace
Ingraham took first place with Ed
Duffy but a short distance behind.
A boys free for all was won by
Beaton, with Bell second. ''-
The races were all closely con-
tested and the interest of the spec
tators was keen during every event.
Miss Casey Wins Costume Prize
Miss Agatha Casey in u beautiful
costume of blue, trimmed with white
fur took the first prize for the best
costume and Miss Mary E. Coveney,
X. n. of Newton. Mass. in cos
tune Of red and white took the sec
ond prize. Although winter sports
costumes were every where In evil
dence there were not as man, car
nival costumes as the committee had
hoped but this was the only feature
of the entire evenings entertainment
that did not come up to expectations.
During the evening the Augusta
Band furnished music for
the skaters. The musicians were
housed in squad tent at the end of
the telachers in order that they
NIGHT be able to play without dis
comfiture because of the tempera-
ture. The music, the large and hap
by crowd. the excellent program and
bon fire which was lighted near
one end of the rink. served to make
this skating party the most enjoyable
ever held at a winter carnival in this
city.

COLBY RUNNERS
TRAIN Down TO
fine CONDITION
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


Waterville, Feb. 6-The members
of the Colby relay :. m put on the
finishing touches to their week of
hard training this afternoon by going
through some light workouts on the
board track in preparation for the
coming American Legion meet which
will be held Monday night Of next
week in Portland.
The latest report on the teaming
up of the Blue and Gray relay quar-
tet Is that they will meet both Brown
and Boston University in a special
three cornered relay race which is to
be one of the main features of the
team races. Such a.race would be a
thriller as all three teams are very
fast and Colby's desire to win would
be threefold. Bosto University put
up the stiffest opposition that the
Blue and Gray has met In two years
and came within two feet Of dump
ing their Maine rivals in defeat. and
as 4 result they will be on the edge
to make up for their scant loss. On
the other side. Brown has never met
the Colby relay four on the boards
and will fight to keep from going
down in defeat.
The running order of the local COL
legians has been completely re-
arranged from the order in which
they carried the baton at the Boston
A. A. games last week against Tufts
and Boston University. Hearon will
lead off with Captain Taylor running
number two. Brown will follow the
l'lue and Gray leader and Speed"
Fransen will wind up the race as an
Choir man. Last year Fransen ran
anchor all season without a defeat
and Coach Pyan feels that the swift
looted runner from Lynn is the right
man for the place.

U. Of M, Feb. 6-Coach "Cuddy"
Murphy and his basketball tossers
will entertain the fast Boston Uni

Alumni hall in the third home game
of the season. Basketball Is becom-
ing very popular at the University Of

hopelessly lost.
Last week Maine snatched a we'll

two fouls that tied and won the game
in the last few seconds of play "a to
SO. This game was repetition Of
the Boston College conflict which the
wearers Of the Blue tucked under
their belt by one point, Al to 40.
Murphy has been giving much time
lately to the development of a short

on the pivot. The practical elimina-
ton of the dribble has opened up the

Maine Is plugging hard for the

this game is no doubt the objective

few years. Maine has been pointing
more and more towards these en-
gagements with their Granite State

BY JOHN SCHOMMER
Basketball Coach, Armour Institute,
Former U. Of c. Star

In this case, I recommend an abb
solute lay-off from practice for at
least three or four days. A change
Of diet may also be helpful. You
may even indulge in things you have
no business to be eating just to take
the fine edge Of overwhelming away.
If it is possible to get away and spend
two or three days in the country or
in an unfamiliar place this Is almost
certain to kill the listlessness result
ing from er-training. To sum up
q break in regular routine is the
quickest and surest was Of killing
this condition which terrorizes both

For a short time It looked like a
broad daylight abduction or the
Queen. as some Of the more enter
prising camera men persuaded the
Queen to come to the other side OF
the road and pose, where the sun
was brighter. They chose a most
appropriate spot for the picture, the
