THE TRACK SQUAD Front! row, left to right: Burlock, Gardiner, VVest, Gogan, Ford, Gidney. Rear: Coach VVood, Henry, Hoskin, Larson. Boyne, Fortier, Mooers, Hickford, Coach Stinson. Track, 1940-41 Around the nucleus of six veterans, dashers Capt. Paul Albert and Earl Haw- kins. distance men Phil Boyne, Henry Ford and Ken Larson. and combination weightman and pole vaulter Clayton Stone, Coaches Stinson and Wood are building a track team. Although somewhat shaky in the jumps, Houlton's prospects in the field and running events look bright. Raw material like Goon Hovey, the human spider, Bob Johnston, and Jerry VVest will bolster any team. Other hopefuls who look good are Bickford, Fortier, Beau- Mooers, Buzz' Gardiner, Fowler, Donovan, Lakin. Macllroy, and Hoskin. 'Considering that about two-thirds of the strength of last years' squad has been lost, Coaches Stinson and Wood have a job on their hands. Houlton usually comes up with something worth watching, watch this spring.

BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM Front row, left to right: Mason, Taylor, Niles, Captain Logan, Anderson, Lambert, Berry. fSecond row: Asst. -Coach Peabody, Popham, Mgr. Myshrall, Downie, Coach Tibbetts. Boys' Basketball, 1940-41 ' With a wise eye to the future, Coaches Tibbetts, and Peabody selected for their '40-'41 basketball squad a dozen promising underclassmen and combined them with vete1'ans. The result was seven wins against eleven losses, a half dozen of which were lost by only two or three baskets. Around the nucleus of Mason, a star for- ward: Logan, a guard and forward of equal ability: and Lambert. a center and guard, the coaches built a team that was slow in starting this year, but one that will go places in the next two years. The loss of Wolhaupter, Bell, Stoton, and Donovan, all six-footers, was heavily felt. Logan, with 181 points, and Mason, with 92 points, were the big guns for the Black and VVhite. Downie returned to the wars after a year's lay-off and played hard ball. Dick Niles, a sophomore who's a natural, is the boy to watch in 1942. His classmates, Anderson and Berry. are shaping into good ball- players, too. The schedule and scores: Houlton 28 Patten Houlton 26 Stearns Houlton 22 P. I. H. S.

To date, lloulton has won all pre-league games. With six veterans bavk in harness. the future is very rosy for the Black and White. On the mound we have the Taylor brothers. Ralph and Ken. Jim Donovan, and llunk Spooner. Behind the plate, Phil Mason will handle these hurlers. The in- field will be held down by Reg Downie, Buck Logan. Dick Niles, and an alternate pitcher. iln the garden, Bud Berry. Joe Riley. Don Lambert, Jaek Fowle1', and other alternate heavere will roam. Although we've lost those two power- houses. Toniilson and Ayotte, who are now in the uniform of the National Defense League at Uarnp Blanding, Florida, there are enough competent inen practicing to fill every berth satisfactorily. VVith good batting plus heads-up ball handling, the Sltiretowners should cinch the 1940 A. L. crown.
