FAST GLOUCESTER
BASkETEERS PLAY
HERE next WEEK

Gloucester High school, one of the
outstanding teams Of the Bay State,
will be the next visitors of the Cony
High team at City hall March 8. En-
couraged by a defeat which they pin
ned on the Red and White gridders at
Gloucester last year, the visitors are
planning to come down on their first
invasion of Maine and establish real
record at the expense of Cony and to
do this little stunt are bringing along
a team that Is unbeaten in six starts
this year. Eighteen points Is the larg-
est number any one team has been
able to grab from the Fishermen this
year and their most impressive win
was that over Salem Normal school by
a score Of 43-5.
The Gloucester team IS coached by
Solly Thurston, who will be well re-
membered as a fixture on the semi
pro baseball team at Bar Harbor for
the past few years. Solly was for
merly the hardest hitting first sacker
in the State and his athletic teams
from the Fishing City seem to have
the same aggressiveness and punch.
Several members of the football squad
which defeated Cony are on the bas-
ketball team from Massachusetts,
among them Curlsy and Whynot, the
sensational backfield men, and as Nick
less, Lapidus. Trask, Stiles and Fletch-
er all made the trip to the Bay State
the meeting will be sort Of a reunion
for the boys.
The Cony team pleased everyone
who attended the game against Wins
low Friday and will have it's share of
hackers when it steps onto the floor
next Wednesday. The Cony team pre-
sents the same whirlwind pivottng
style of the game that is character
istic of good basketball in other sec
tions Of the country and Coach Con-
nellan has developed team which is
quite capable of giving the visitors a
run for their money. Following is the
| record made by the Gloucester team:
Gloucester Sc, Stoneham 5.
Gloucester 43. Salem Normal S.
Gloucester Sc. Swampscott II.
Gloucester 80, General Electrics IS.
Gloucester 20, Boston College High

Gloucester 26, Beverly High 10.

Miss Wills Makes
Good Showing in
Monte Carlo Doubles

Monte Carlo, Feb. % (AP) -
Helen Wills appearances on the
Monte Carlo tennis courts today were
remarkable for the crowd she drew
rather than for the brilliance of her
play. Although she won two
matches. one in the singles of the
Monte Carol tournament, in straight
lole sets. she failed to show the spir-
it.and dash which characterized her
playing in the Beaulieu Tournament
which ended yesterday
She advanced to the third round in
tic singles by defeating Mrs. Marriott
of. England. Go SO, while in the
doubles play for the Beaumont cup
she and her partner Mrs. {. r.
AeSchlimann, formerly Leslie Ban
croft of Boston, were hard pressed
to take two of three sets. With Mrs.
Aeschlimann in poor form the Ameri-
can team encountered stiff opposition
in Mrs. Lambert Chambers and Miss
e. II. Harvey of England, and won
only after dropping the first set, 90,
Ga. 6-3.
Miss Wills carried her team to vic
tory practically unaided, as her part
ner was in poor health and appeared
on the courts only to oblige Helen
and enable her to play through for
the Beaumont trophy. which the
California girl is very anxious to win.
Members of the English team were
soon aware of Mrs. Aeschlimann's
weakness and centered their attack
ON her to win the first set. In the
next two sets. however, Miss Wills
was all over the courts and played
the match as if it We're singles in
stead of doubles.
Senorita De Alvarez Of Spain, who
shares with Miss Wills the honor of
being the only other player seeded in
the present tournament. also won
her match, defeating Miss Pittman
of England, 60, Go. She needs a lot
of practice after several months, alb
sence from tournament play, but her
game today was a great improve
ment over her first match.
Frau Neppach, the German cham
pion, weathered the first round, de-
.feating Miss Mary Cambridge, 6>2,
rs, 6-2.

Lenglen Leaves
City for Rest in
Mountain Retreat

Monte Carlo, Feb. 23-(AP)-Su-
zanne Lenglen, before she left Nice
yesterday for a mountain retreat,
taking with her a case of nerves"
which she hopes to overcome quickly,
went to see the moving pictures of
her match against Helen Wills, which
are now being shown on the screens
along the Riviera. The French
champion left the house before the
picture had been half reeled off. She
appeared much perturbed. Replying
to a question as to what was wrong
with her, Suzanne said:
81 played too bad for anything. II
makes me sick just to look at it,"
While Suzanne was on her way to
the mountain retreat Miss Wills
came over from Beaulieu bringing
with her another cup won the singles
play in the tournament there. She
Immediately espied the gold cup
which has been presented by the
Duke of Connaught for the winner
in the women's singles here.
"This is one cup that I do want to
win" said Helen as she looked at the
trophy.
The cup stands more than nine
inches high and is valued at about
1000. With Suzanne and Did Was
to out OF the tournament anu Will
only Frau Neppach, the German
champion, Mrs. Satterthwaite, Mile.
Contoslavos and Senorita De Alvarez
between her and the royal trophy
the betting is that it will make the
journey to Berkeley, Cal, when Miss
Wills returns home.
Suzanne at last accounts stu
maintained that she was through
with singles competition until June.
Some Of those close to the Nice Ten
mis- club. however, are of the opinion
that a few days in quietude may
cause the French champion to change
her mind. They think there still IS
possibility that Suzanne and MISS
Wills may come together for another
duel at the Nice tournament, when
begins March Z. They point to SUI
zanne's last words before her depar-
ture from Nice, 81 may get,over this
spell of nervousness quicker than you
think" as giving them ground from
believing there is a chance for an
other meeting between the two girls

er, scared to a new worlds record in
