Waterville, Jan. 22-The student
body Of Winslow high school paraded
the streets of Wateryille late tonight
despite the temperature, which sunk
the mercury clear out of sight, in
wild demonstration after their great
ly desired victory over the Purple
and White of the Elm City school.
But their rejoicing was not wholly
selfish as they cheered both their
own alma mater and the opponent
school in their valiant evidencing of
school spirit. 1t seemed that the
boys from the smaller town have
quite the edge on their greatest OPP
ponents in the polished floor game as
they did not merely break into the
win column tonight but added an
other Purple scalp to their string,
which also bears one dated a year
ago.
The score was 11-9 in favor of the
Winslow team. Captain Bulger led
I his tigers to the victory which came
| to his team as a result of the scores
from the penalty mark. At the end of
| the first quarter Winslow led 80 and
at the end of the half the winners
| were in the van with the score
| standing at So. In the second half
| the Waterville team. or rather
the fine scoring eye of Wally Dono-
van, enabled the Purple boys to tie
| the score. The last half of the game
| was battle to the death with neither
side allowing the slightest quarter to
the opponent. The third period end
| ed after a nip and tuck baatle in
! which both teams played some very
! fine basketball, with the score stand
| ing at TT. With the fastest basket
| ball exhibition which the two teams
| have ever shown. the last quarter
| was a fight to the finish. Jimmy
MacCroary Of Colby showed that
| this district by his work in this final
period and he was the busiest man
in town for the final eight minutes
of the game. Both teams showed fine
basketball and it looked at first as
| though Waterville would be returned
| as winner. The margin of two points
is liberal indication of the superior
| ity of the WinSlow team as "a tie
| score would have been very fair to
| both.
| Bulger of the winners was the star
of his team and showed his sterling
| qualities as leader by his exhibit
ton. 1t was his foul counters which
| won the game for Winslow and in
! addition to these scores he tailed
! from the floor with two more points.
Donovan. the perfect athlete of the
/ Waterville team, was the best man
for his team and showed his class
again this evening. The defensive
! star of the evening was Dolley of
| the WinSlow crew and Hoss Hurd of
/, the Purple was his runner up for the
| defensive title. Without either of
these men their respective teams
! would have gone under as they
spoiled many of the most dangerous
rallies of the game.
The Waterville lassies were not in
the defeat column with their BOYS
team as they took the preliminary
game from an all star combination
picked from the best girl players in
town by the score of 9-S. The game
was real battle but until the last
quarter neither team did its best
playing. This period, however.
showed some of the best basketball
OF the year with Addie Delisle doing
the best work on the floor.
Talberth of the winners also PLAYED
fine game but could not come I'D to
Adde'S style of play. For the losers.
who were nearly as good as their OPP
ponents, the star was Marion Daye,
who scored all of the points for her
team, while Turner played good
game at guard. DeLisle scored thee H.
tire total of points for the winners in
one of the best exhibitions ever seen in
the City of the Elms.
