BIG GREEN AND
BRIDGTON IN DUEL
FRIDAY NIGHT

Hebron, Dec. S--Friday night the
Big Green basketeers will start the
State schoolboy series, when they
face Bridgeton Academy on the
Hebron floor. The opening battle of
the evening will be between the
Hebron and Bridgton seconds. This
promises to be a fast encounter, as
both Bridgton and Hebron are re-
ported to have an over supply of
basketball material this year.
Last Friday night the oxford boys
had no trouble in taking the meas
ure of the Portland Boys Club, but
the coming battle has a different as
pect, and Coach Hollis has been put
ting his warriors through a number
of tough scrimmages this week IN
order to polish off the rough places
shown up last week
With q man like Beckwith, who
was high pointer In the first clash,
the Hebronites should be able to
step with fast company. Captain
Norty Lamb is still playing his SEN
sational game at forward. Norty
was easily the outstanding man on
the floor in the p. B. c. game. HIS
passing is perfect, and with this
weeks practice emphasizing the
passing, game, great teamwork is
expected. On the guards, Jensen
and Conroy look exceptionally good.
The offense men who can get by
them are in the minority.
On the second team, Vic Holland
and Nurmie Folsom are the lumi-
naries. Holland although rather
light is one of the speediest backs
on the Hebron court this year. The
seconds also possess a great forward
in Walter Gary, who is another in
dividual who is kept off the first
club because of lack of weight. He
is the only consistent scorer the
seconds are able to boast of, at pres
ent. He is also wonderful man to
instill teamwork into a club.
With this array of hoopsters
Hebron should be on the long end of
the score Friday night. The Big
Green boys are still smarting under
the scoreless tie handed them by
Bridgton in football this fall and are
out for revenge.

RALLIES FOR

! IN newark ARMORY

Newark, N. J., Dec. S-(P)-Rally-
ing gamely in the last five rounds,
Pete Latzo, of Scranton. Pa, worlds
welterweight champion. slugged his
way to a 10 round victory over Joe

Latzo could not seem to strike his
stride after the long layoff. The bat
tiers smashed head-on in the center
of the ring in the fourth round, Lat

spouted blood, but he rallied with
furious two-fisted attack. Simonich
ripped into the champion with
fierce body assault in the fifth, but
Latzo fought back gamely. The
champion drove Simonich to cover in
the sixth with a volley to the head
and body.
The champion, apparently fighting
his way back to old time form. scored
heavily to the Montana boxers head
and body as the latter tired in the
seventh. Simonich rushed again to
the attack in the eight but Latzo
scored repeatedly with both hands
to the head.
Rugged body punching at close
range carried them both around the
ring on even terms in a fierce eX-
change in the ninth session. Latzo
spun Simonich around with a sharp
right at the bell. A battering two
listed attack drove Simonich to the
ropes and had him hanging on in the
final session. LatZo landed almost at
will.
Returning to the ring after an alb
sence of six months, I4atzo fought a
rugged and aggressive foe in Simon
ich who carried off the first four
rounds OF the fight with devastat
ing attack.
Simonich tired in the later rounds.
however, and Latzo, carrying the
battle to his foe with whirlwind
comeback, received the decision of
newspaper critics at the ringside.
