BASEBALL Our baseball prospects were rather poor at the beginning of the season, since several members of the battery and outfield had been graduated. However, with the careful coaching of Mr. Howell, a fair team was organized. We opened the season on April 23rd with a game against Clinton High at Clinton. Due to the hard hitting of the Clinton nine, our team lost by the score of 18-0. Our second game, Clinton at Colchester, was won by the visitors by the close score of 4-2. The team was in better shape: but was handicapped by the loss of several regu- lars, nevertheless played very well. The game was featured by the brilliant pitching of Prokop, who struck out 14 men. These are the only games that have been played as this paper goes to press. The schedule is as follows: — May 9th. Lebanon at Colchester. May 20th Durham High School at Colchester. May 23rd Stonington at Colchester. May 27th Durham High School at Durham. June 3rd Lebanon at Lebanon. June 7th Stonington High School at Stonington. BACON ACADEMY Thirty-one

Ilankin GIRLS' BASKETBALL This year, the girls with Miss Donovan as coach, encouraged by their success in the past, made up a schedule consisting of out of town games. The team opened the January season by playing the Woodstock Academy girls at Woodstock. Since this was their first game on a strange floor, they were at a disadvan- tage. The final score vas 47-9, in favor of Woodstock. On January 23, the team traveled to Norwich to play the Y. W. C. A. sextette. The Norwich girls proved too strong for the girls’ team and they won with the score of 33-21. The Woodstock Academy girls came to Colchester for a return game. They won by a score of 28-10. On February 18, 1930, the Norwich Y. W. C. A. team came to Colchester. The Academy girls took the lead early in the game and held it until the third quarter when the opponents rallied and came out on top. The final score was 21-16. Although the girls have had rather an unsuccessful season, the prospects for next year are not discouraging. The team loses only one member by graduation, and ihany of the remaining played basketball for the first time this year. Anna Surwill is captain of the team, and Dorothea Gersten, manager.
