'CONY BASKETEERS GET Even BREAK
in OFFICIAL OPENING HOOP SEASON

Cony high school broke even Fri
day night in it's first two games of
the season, the boys winning from
Brunswick high by score of 20 to
% and the girls losing to Waterville
high by final tally of 10 to IL. The
Cony boys put up fine game for
starter and the GIRLS fought hard al
though clearly outclassed.
Coach Comedian did not start his
strongest team in the boys game and
Brunswick by playing a five man
defense and by better passing were
able to score to 0 on the home
team in the first quarter. But for
poor shooting, this score would have
been larger. In the second quarter
complete new team consisting of
stiles, Lapidus, Trask, Overlook and
Fletcher was sent in and within a
minute Overlook slid the pill through
for two floor goals, putting Cony
ahead. The half ended with a ten
to ten tie.
Starting off the third period Cony
Melted twice, only to have Bruins
wick duplicate the feat. Then with
the score at 14-14. Overlook got "a
foul. which he followed Immediately
with a basket and Stiles added one
on top of that. From that time on
the game was played with Brunswick
always behind. the three quarters
ending 21-16.
Lapidus played wonderful game,
pulling down Brunswick passes time
after time and netting the sphere on
four occasions. Tiny Overlook was
in good form and playing every
minute, shooting as well as did
Babe. while Stiles held them to even
terms on marksmanship.
Switzerland was the mainstay in
| the shooting end of the Brunswick
game while French and Crimmin
contributed much to the teams
showing.
The Cony-Waterville game was
| the story of team playing against
odds. The Waterville forwards kept
the Cony guards on the run and out
played them, the Cony centers were
not able to cope with the Waterville
centers and the Cony forwards could
| not get the ball long enough to
| shoot. The Cony girls made a good
| showing against these odds and
| their hard fight was a credit to them.
