72 THE OLYMPIAN advance as it always is a scrappy con- test. Biddeford led at the close of the first quarter but lost this lead to San- ford who held it throughout the re- mainder of the contest. McNabb and Farley played well for Biddeford while Sanford had no outstanding player. Biddeford- l 8 Cheverus-3 3 It appears that the Orange and Black quintet can't beat the jinx of playing a Portland cluster and losing. The Fighting Irish outscored Biddeford by a 33-I8 margin. Led by Jones and Droggittis, the Biddies came near clos- ing the score in the 3rd quarter by an I8-I6 tally, but they lost their speed after that. Biddeford--25 Westbrook-l I The fast breaking Biddeford quintet turned the tables on the highly favored Westbrook outfit by giving them a 25-I I trouncing. The score at the half was I3-l in the Biddies' favor. Biddeford-2 5 Thornton-3 I This inter-city contest was the most spectacular and thrilling of the season. A record breaking crowd attended this tussle. The score at the first quarter was 6-6, and the end of the half was I3-6 in favor of Thornton. The final score stood with Thornton on the long end of a 31-25 score. The Mill city quintet balanced the score in the final minutes of play but collapsed and dropped behind. Biddeford-2 4 Thornton-2 6 ln a return battle on Thornton's pol- ished surface, the Orange and Black, seeking revenge opened up with a quick offense which put them in the lead, but Thornton rallied and began to creep up to tie Biddefords score. The score at the half was l 7-I4 in favor of Thornton. Led by Vassill, the Biddies recuperated to within two points of Thornton's score. The final score was 26-24. Biddeford-2 7 Sanford-4 7 At the Sanford High Gymnasium the Biddeford team was never in place to keep up with Sanford. The Hoor is twice as small as the Bidclies' surface and this handicapped them. The count at the half was I8-I I and at the final whistle it was 47-27 in favor of San- ford. R. Jones and Amnotte played well offensively for the Mill city while Nutter stood out for the Plushtown- ers. Biddeford-2 8 Alumni-2 3 The Biddeford High School, Basket- ball cluster closed their season with a 28-23 win over the Graduates. Hickey and Farley played well for the high school while Jim Callahan showed that he could still hit the hoop for the Alumni.
