WinsIow High School Notes

WINSTON High School Notes
Winslow High School basketball
team started an intensive week of
practice Monday. in preparation for
the two of the hardest games of the
season which come on Friday and
Friday aftern on for Buckspor
where they will play Eastern Maine
Conference Seminary on Friday
evening. On Saturday they will go
to University Of Maine where they
will play U. of NJ. freshmen Saturday
evening. Probably few preparatory
schools and surely no high school
would consider taking on two such
high calibre teams in successive
nights, however, this is in keeping
with Winslow's policy of playing the
best teams they can possibly get on
their schedule. Coming home from
Skowhegan Saturday morning, Jan.
30. with the 5th straight win, Wins
low has demonstrated to sport fans
in this section that they must be
considered contenders for the Maine
tournament again this year. At the
beginning of the season things looked
terribly black for the Winslow team
when Viles, captain of the team and
considered by many as one of the
greatests players in Central Maine,
was declared ineligible because of
scholastic difficulties However, the
team has gone along with rapid
strides. depending on a whirlwind
passing game to make up for their
loss In feighth and weight However,
that they also have a strong de-
tense, can be seen from the fact that
they held the strong Waterville team
to four field goals in the Waterfalls
gym. This victory for Winslow
clearly established the fact that
Wlnslow has a strong, all around
team. Many of the townspeople
will go to Orono Saturday night to
encourage the Winslow boys in their
game attempt against SO much
larger and stronger rivals.
