THE OLYMPIAN 7I tussle. Led by Johnson, South Port- land tallied thrice to cop the game. For Biddeford, Crosbie and Bean played brilliantly. Biddeford-0 Lewiston-0 A record crowd attended this grid- iron contest with the Rhuland-coached eleven primed for battle. The play was even throughout the tussle and Biddeford nearly scored with a field goal by Fleisher's educated goe, but missed by inches. Coach Rhuland's pet play, the double spinner, worked like a charm and penetrated Lewiston's sec- ondary several times. Biddeford-0 Sanford-l 2 On Armistice Day afternoon, Bidde- ford and Sanford met in their annual classic at the Alumni field in Biddeford in a thrilling game. Biddeford threat- ened several times but failed to con- vert, and Sanford scored on two long runs which caught the Orange and Black off guard. Duranceau and Chen- ard played good ball for Biddeford: Nutter stood out for the Sanfordians. Biddeford-6 Thornton-6 On Thanksgiving morning, Novem- ber 25, I937, the Orange and Black of Biddeford and the Maroon and Gold of Thornton met on a snappy Fall day for their annual gridiron classic. The larg- est crowd of the season was present and the fans had no choice of teams, as B. H. S.-T. A. tussle may always be called even. The Biddeford eleven tallied in the first quarter and led until the last quarter when Thornton tatled on a lucky pass, which, thrown by McSwee- ney, ricocheted off the Biddeford's safety man's hands and was caught by A. I-ladiaris for a goal for Thornton. The Hnal score was Biddeford 6, Thornton 6, a tie score with the cham- pions of Maine. THE B. H. S. BASKETBALL TEAM. Captain Alec Droggitis. Peter Vassill.

Biddeford-34 Wells-24 After four weeks of practice, drib- bling, passing, offenses and defenses, the Orange and Black opened the court season with a victory over Wells by a count of 34-24. Captain Droggitis and Stebbins starred for Biddeford, while McClellan played well for the visitors. Biddeford-1 6 Westbrook-3 If Ken McKiniry's speedy quintet ap- peared tired on Westbrook's polished surface and threatened to take the lead only once. The final score was 31-16 Westbrook. Vassill and Nanos ap- peared to be the only spark plugs on the Biddeford team and played a good defensive game while Wright starred for Westbrook. Biddeford-37 St. Louis-9 A large crowd attended this game between two Biddeford high schools. The Orange and Black of Biddeford literally massacred the St. Louis boys by a score of 37-9. Biddeford's speedy quintet worked as a unit and rapidly tallied several times. Scott played a wonderful game on the floor and Am- notte played well offensively for B. H. S. while Cordeau played well for St. Louis. Biddeford- l 6 Sanford-28 The rival rooters of the two schools look forward to this game a year in
