Skowhegan, Feb. 5.-On account

game between Skowhegan and Wa

in their game and were beaten 81

clever for their guards and piled up
an arly lead that could not be over
come. In the last half. however. the
locals showed their speed and
equalled Waterville in every depart
ment.
In the boys game the honors were
about even although the visitors led
in the first half 29-13. The second

School Authorities
Considering Stopping
Inter-club Contests

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Bath, Feb. 4-Trouble is brewing
in the camps of the Morse high
school basketball squad and in that
of the Bath A. C's. Early in the
season the two Bath fives met and
the A. C.'s nosed out So to 26 vic
tory. The past week the two hves
have been meeting in practice Tits,
the high school pointing toward the
Edward Little game Saturday, and
the city team toward the Bangor
game for the state championship
next Wednesday.
Monday night the two quintets met,
and after the battle the city team
was leading Al to 40, but was minus
three men, who were injured in the
fray. Two of the men are out OF the
game for a week. Wednesday night
the A. C.'s took the floor for another
practice game, minus Gilmore and
Pooler, forwards, and Dingley, the
deaf and dumb guard. all three OF
whom were injured in the first en-
counter. The second meeting the A.
C.'s pulled out a Sc to "a win, and
two Morse men were forced to leave
the game and may not be In shape
and Captain Wilson were both hurt,
the Morse captain being taken out
for over a half hour.
There is bad blood between the
two teams, and their practice tits
took on a regular killing effect. The
fans are wondering just what will re-
suit from the second battle for the
city championship which occurs in
the near future. The high SHOOT lads
are nearly helpless before Perkins,
the Bath teams giant center, and but
for him could play the A. C.'s on bet
ter than even terms. For the last OF
the week Morse will have to find 9TH
er means of getting in its prepara-
tory workouts, for the A. C.'s have
no desire to lose any more men, nor
has the high school. Both squads
claim the other team started the
roughousing, and both outfits are on
edge for the coming fray. Unless the
trouble can be adjusted the high
school authorities are contemplate
ing stopping the coming clash.

Three CoNY MAJOR
ATHLETIC TEAMS
WILL PLAY TODAY

All three Cony teams will get into
,Action today, with the Cony hockey
team playing Portland at the Cony
rink at go this afternoon. the girls
basketball team playing Deering In
City hall at 2 o'clock, and the Cony
boys basketball team meeting Wa
terville at Waterville.
The hockey game should be fast
contest. These two teams met Garner
in the season at Portland and the
battle ended in a scoreless tie al
though the rubber disk was in the
Portland end of the rink most of the
afternoon. The Portland club was
green at the game then and was
guilty of much checking and other
infract' ms of the rules but is re-
ported to have overcome these nam
dicaps and claims to be capable or
taking over the Red and WHITE.
Cony has lost but one game-this sea-
son and that to the Colby Freshmen
by one point. The Red and Whlte
will have it's full strength for the
contest and plans to turn back the
invaders by a decisive count.
The second team to visit the city
during the course of the day Will be
the powerful girls team from Deer
ing, a team unbeaten in the past
two years of active competition and
confident of adding another high
school scalp today. The Cony team,
however, played Deering the closest
battle of the season last year on the
Deering floor and has been coming
along fast enough to hold the Deer
ingites from staging any parade to-
day. Last year the Red and White
held the veteran Deering team to
even terms on the floor but lost the
game on fouls. This game should
be one of the best of the season and
should draw another good crowd to
City hall.
The boys play at Waterville.
waterville isn't considered fast
enough to turn back the locals but
in q hall like the one at the Elm
City almost anything can happen
The team Is going at fast clip at
present and should take over the
Waterville team if past records and
performances are to be considered
