CONY HOCKEY TEAM
| HAS Three GAME
| SLATE THIS week

Local hockey fans who have waited
with the proverbial patience Of Job
to see the fast Cony High icebirds
do their stuff before home crowd
on their own rink will get their wish
fulfilled Wednesday afternoon when
the Colby yearlings will travel to this
city to I'LL a return engagement with
the Red and White.
Two weeks ago Cony outskated
and outplayed the Colby team on the
Waterville rink but lost by one point
in a tough battle. Since that time
the Cony team also ekated away
from Portland and treated the fans
in that city to "a classy exhibition of
the winter sport but the Portland
goalie, through every trick known to
the trade and a few especially i'm
ported for the occasion managed to
keep the Portland goal untouched
and the Cony goal was never threat
ened.
so after losing one game by not
getting a single break and being held
to a tie in another that should have
been theirs, the Cony sextette feels
that they have win coming to them
and figure that Colby might as well
be the victim as any other team.
The Cony team will be minus the
services of Captain Pete Bradstreet
Pete is at present laid up with the
humps and will be unable to play In
any of the three games slated for the
week. Cony will play the Alumni
Friday and Saturday will visit the
Bates Freshmen at Lewiston. Bates
held to an even score by Deering,
should prove easy for the locals.

Close Brushes
Feature Races at
|KennebunkpOrt

Lake speedway, kenneDunkport,
Jan. ga large crowd of York
County horsemen attended the races
conducted by Robert Fiske, promi-
nent local herseman, on the local
course this afternoon. All the races
were contested very closely. No bet
ter horse racing has been seen at the
local course for years.
The veteran PAGER, Thomas Dono-
hue, now owned by Arthur Sabourin
of Biddeford, after dropping the first
two heats in Glass A to Mabel
Kuestner, owned by Roy Taylor Of
Biddeford, by narrow margins, took
the final three heats. The Taylor
horse, by winning the first heat in
3Oh seconds, made the fastest time
of the afternoon over the quarter
mile course.
One of the greatest surprises of the
afternoon took place in Glass c. when
Albert Jeffrey, Of Beachwood with
David D., veteran race horse, gave
the much rated Wilverna c, owned
by P. ]. Kenneally of Biddeford. such
a tussle for Lonors that the horsemen
who watched the contest still are
talking about it. The two horses
battled neck and neck throughout the
event, with the younger horse show
ing little more speed at the finish.
Lightning Express, driven by
Charles j. Knight Of Biddeford, was
another horse that attracted the at
tention of the. 500 fans with the fast
time made in the three straight heats
which the Biddeford horse won. Mr..
Knight showed fine sportsmanship in
one of the heats when, after obtaining
a commanding lead over his rival at
the start, he asked that the heat be
started over again to give his oppon-
ent better chance.
Next Saturday afternoon the local
drivers will take their horses to Bid
deford for the races to be held by
the Biddeford and Saco Driving Club
on the Saco River Speedway.

waterville. Jan. 24.-The Water
Vile Bows Club has been active in
every branch during the week. In
basket ball the team won all of the
three games which they played ana

est SQUADS in this district. In the
Army Navy competition between the
Juniors. the Army leads the Navy
by a few points in their pattle'
which will continue this week. IN
the intermediate division the volley
tournament has produced some me
competition and there is every rea-
son to believe that q league Will De
formed in this sport. New apparatus
will be installed in the gymnasium
during the near future ana VIII
greatly improve the efficiency or the
club rooms. In the carom 'tourna-
ments there are now three DIVISIONS
and the competition is getting pet
ter with every meeting OF the con-
testapts. There will be a consider
able activity in winter sports in the
very near future and the ski and
snowshoe hikes which are being
planned will be welcomed by the
members Of the club who are inter-
ested in this sort of sport. 1t is
probable that hikes of this nature
will be conducted every SATURDAY
afternoon during the remainder OF
the winter and in all probability
Director Burnhardt will be in
charge.
On Saturday the basket ball teams
played two games, the first team
meeting the Coburn seconds and the
second team taking game from the
Oakland seconds. This was an ad-
dition of two victories to the string
which has been rung up and leaves
very respectable record for the
season thus far.
In the first teams game the club
boys won by the score of S4-11 over
a stro-<; team from Coburn which
represented their second string. Lar
son was the individual star OF the
winning team and scored II points
for his team. p. York and Mannell
played fine games at the forward po-
sitions and the defensive work of j.
Dennis was one reason why the score
of the Coburn team was kept down.
The second team won easily. due
in great part to the work of Arnold
on the scoring end and the playing
of Lewis on the defensive. Oakland
could score but II points, while the
winners were counting AZ times.
