on Portland High here tonight,

Bangor second team into the game
at the start of the fourth period.
The scrubs gave the Blue a good
fight, holding them down to three
points and scoring two themselves,
Turner with seven goals from the
floor and point from the foul line
was the high point man and best in
dividua1 player for the Crimson.
Chapman and Hickson also put up
good games for Bangor. Captain
Sven Hallgren and Agger played the
best ball for Portland, the latter's
floor work being the best of the

Captain Ward of the Morse High team
as well as she has been held for a long

from the Bath school Saturday after

Cony was never behind in the con-

In the final period Cony uncorked
an especially strong offensive and with
Miss Moulton giving a fine exhibition
of shooting after the remainder Of the
Cony team had worked the ball down
the floor by some clever passing, Cony
held her opponents scoreless while
they annexed 10 points themselves.
Despite the fact that she was held
down well throughout the game, Capt.
Ward demonstrated the reason she has
made such name for herself in the
forward position. When she could
break loose from the active Cony
guard, Betty Thorne, and attempt a
shot, she missed hardly one.
Gilmore at guard and Priest and
Gagnon in the center positions were
strong factors in the Cony passing
game, and kinsman worked splendidly
with her sister forward. While she
scored but three herself. she contrib
