CONY BASKETEERS MADE fine
RECORD UNDER COACH COMEDIAN

Announcement has been made that
the Cony High basketball boys have
closed their season, although there
were two games left on the schedule.
Mr.. Perkins declared Monday that
after the hard work they did at the
University of Maine tournament 1t
was felt that they had been called
upon to do enough for their school
and as the contracts for both VIM
slow and Waterville high schools for
the last game provided that the other
two schools of the triangle would re-
lease the team that went to the tour
nament from further contests, Cony
is perfectly at liberty to cancel THESE
The Cony high boys have had a
fine season this year. trimming such
strong teams as Morse High OF batn
and Bangor High, as well as the IasI
Gloucester, (Mass.) Hlgh scnooi
team. The boys were chosen to rep
resent this county in the University
of Maine tournament held last week
at the college and in their prelimin.
arv game drew the fast Jonesport
High team which last year won the
tournament. Cony eliminated them
from the meet after q hard fought
game and in the second game or the
dav against Bangor High, whom they
had previously beaten, Cony was
trimmed by the close score OF 10
to 16.
II is interesting to note that "Tiny"
Overlook Of the Cony team was
chosen as an all-tournament guard
the youth making a great hit there
both because Of his playing AFFINITY
and his personality. Tiny" Is q very
modest chap and he didn't even zen
his own mother about the nohor
which he had earned by his nne pray
ing in the two tournament sahe .,
On Monday morning at Cony Hlgh'

called Tiny to the platform. He was
given the greatest cheer ever nearu
IN Assembly hall, but mother did not
find ont about that from him either.
The Cony team under Coach CON
nellan has developed into fast
passing. fast shooting aggresation
that can net them from any distance
ana angle and this fact has played
havoc with the defensive plays Oh
other teams. Cony has penetrated
the defense If possible but If not they
shot from the center of the moor u
such good advantage that tnelr OPP
moments have been pulled into tne
middle Of the floor as a oelense
against this style OF play, only 70
have the boys work up under tne
basket. At the same time Cony mas
played a fine defensive game an
through the season, aithough then
49, four or 1--WE games have been by
far the best.
conv has shown a wonderful fight
ing shirt hat has earned them mucn
nraise. not only from the local rams
hut from the unbiased fans VINO
watched the U. of NJ. tourney. In the
second game they played there. with
Bangor leading in the final period
and the boys extremely tired a1ter
playing two games in one day. they
fought in the final few moments OF
NAV with such determination tnat
they won great applause from those
in attendance. Coach Comedian was
COMMUNICATED because of this lighting
spirit, as the boys. too tired to shoot
high enough to drop the bail INTO tie
