Boys' Basketball The basketball season was not as suc- cessful as some of the past seasons, but the success of the game is not all in winning. I am not going into much detail of the past season, but I can rightfully say the boys have cooperated to the best of their ability in playing, and also in sportsmanship. We had four veterans this year, Cap- tain Stewart, W. Cobb, C. Cobb. S. Kus, L. Gaylord, G. Stetson, and J. Hinckley. The new faces in the line-up included such men as Fountain and Healy, both doing a great job at the center position. The schedule is as follows: R. Cobb, Coach J. Jordan, W. Healey, Stewart, W. Cobb, G. Stetson. e They X Dec. 13 Rockport 26 30 4' Dec. 20 Alumni 32 35 it Jan. 8 Fairfield 22 42 Jan. 10 Mechanic Falls 13 52 lk Jan. 17 Livermore Falls 32 30 jan. 22 Fairfield .20 50 jan. 24 Gardiner 19 47 ' Jan. 31 Richmond 28 42 Feb. 7 Hallowell 21 44 Feb. 14 Mechanic Falls 25 36 Feb. 19 Richmond 19 45 if Feb. 22 Gardiner 27 32 ' Feb. 28 Hallowell 27 40 These scores are estimation only. if Home Games. The squad is losing only two men this year, Cobb and Stewart, whereas the rest of the squad will report next year. With mostly veterans, we wish them lots of luck.

WINTHROP HIGH SCHOOL 3l V CJ g gg A ffflfllllllll ddlllll 14-411.x ATHLETIC S Football The football team was of unknown quality when the boys went out to the first practice last fall, but was found to have plenty of grit behind them. Coach Jordan had for veterans this year De la Feuilliez, Fountain, Drapeau, Belz, Dow, Burr, Hinckley, Kus, C. Cobb, and Captain W. Cobb. New members that reported were Lincoln, Swift, Gifford, Stetson, Stew- art, and Maxwell. I am justified in pointing out as alibis the fact that we were a homeless team, and that we had no field on which to practice. Sept. 21: South Paris 26, Winthrop 0. The Winthrop boys played hard at this game, but South Paris outweighed our boys, and were more experienced. Sept. 27: Fairfield 7, Winthrop 19. The boys showed what cooperation would do in this game, and with Lincoln crossing their goal three consecutive times, came out victorious. Oct. 5: Brighton 14, Winthrop 12. This was the most exciting game of the year. We were handicapped in this game, losing one of our best men, but as it was, we got two touchdowns. Credit should be given to the Cobb brothers in this game, each scoring once. Oct. 12: Mechanic Falls 6, Winthrop 7. This was a game that won't befor- gotten by those who played, or those who had the privilege of seeing the game. Stan Kus and Chick Cobb played a great game, Kus getting the winning point and Chick Cobb knock- ing down a pass which would have tied the score. Oct. 19: Wilton 12. Winthrop 0. Tho Wilton eleven was much heavier than our boys, and in this ,game Lincoln was put out for the rest of the season, suf- fering leg injuries. Oct. 23: Boothbay Harbor 19, Win- throp 0. The game was our first played in the rain, and they handed out a 19-0 swamping. Nov. 5: Hallowell 33, Winthrop 0. The squad fought hard for this game but the powerful Hallowell eleven was much Zgpgrior and we came home trailing Nov. 9: Livermore 54. Winthrop 0. We went to Livermore expecting to have at least a close score. but plaving in a swamp was too much for our local boys. Horace Burr and De la Feuilliez played a great game for Winthrop. This ended our Football season. 'Winthrop will probably be in the winning column next year, but will be handicapped with the loss of' Captain W. Cobb, W. Lincoln, Horace Burr, and Robert Stewart. Much credit should go to Coach Jor- dan who has done a wonderful job with the boys this year. Coach Millet has been coaching the JV's, including the Junior High boys, and has succeeded in forming a team which should be a great asset in the years to com:-

Girls' Basketball The prospects of a good team this year didn't look so bright when the girls started their first practice session. All green players came on the court. Mabel Bisson and Marjorie French, vet- erans from last year didn't return, and on account of illness we were sorry to lose Madeline Bisson. Coach Jordan drilled and drilled his players to perfec- tion. Every player on the team worked hard and this team had the best fight- ing and cooperative spirit in the history of girls' basketball at Winthrop High School. We opened up our first game with Rockport on our own floor. The girls started right in to work and over- whelmed the visiting team. Rachel Kinney scored most of the points. The next game was plaved with the Alumni which was a glose battle but the girls won 23-20. Lawrence High School was our third opponent. We are always glad to play this team for they have the fastest and the best sporting team in the state. Our girls put up a great fight to the finish but were defeated when the final whistle blew. We traveled to Mechanic Falls for our first game away. We walked away with this game. Edna Young's long shots were the greatest attraction of the game. Next came Livermore Falls. the unde- feated team from their section. Our girls had an off night and were defeated without any complaints on their part. To the amazement of the townspeople we were very glad to say that our next game we won was a victory which was played at Fairfield. We were the first to defeat Fairfield on their own fioor. Nedza and Webb stopped the shots of the Levesque and Pooler forwards.
