Hallowell, Feb. Twisting teams
at Hallowell High Saturday won
over the local teams in two contests,
both games were lost by a margin OF
IS points. The Hallowell girls held
the fast Coburn team 1920, while the
boys were defeated 1910 by Norway.
The girls played fine game and
gave the visitors a chance to work
from the start The guards worked
hard and forced the Coburn forwards
to earn every basket. The passing
game of the visitors was interrupted
continually and Coburn depended to
a great extent upon the individual
work of Simmons and Bean. The
former contributed 20 points to the
victory while the latter prevented an
equal number through her guarding.
The boys game started slow and
confused. During the first half little
scoring was done by either team and
matters were about even. In the last
half Norway had things their own
way and by flashes of basketball
they pulled through with the score
of 23-10. Norway's star forward
