BOYS' ATHLETICS P A BASEBALL Last fall the boys played six ball games and won five, so basing our statement on this, it looks like an- other good year for the Kingfield last Paseball team. Veterans back from year's team are: Martin Sillanpaa, Bob Niemi, Odlin Thompson, Edgar Vose,Rob- ert Tufts, Robert Taylor, Bryce Mel- drum. Games have been arranged with Wilton and Farmington in addition to our reg- ular schedule of League games. ' E CROSS COUNTRY A small group of six boys partici- pated in X-Country this year, but by hard work managed to bring the County Championship back to school. This makes the fourth year in a row that Kingfield has won this meet. The fol- lowing boys ran for Kingfield this year: Seniors- Martin Silla paa, Gar- nald Hewey, Henry Carey: Juniors- Bichard Trenholm: Sophomores- Norman Trenholm and Hobert Taylor. BOYS'BASKETBALL The Kingfield boys basketball team was up and down this past season. The first half of each game they were a good ball team, but the third period was their undoing in several games. Highlights of the year were the vic- tories over North New Portland fthe only blemish on a perfect recordl: the win over Phillips in the Franklin County Tournament: making the State Tournament in Class S for the fourth time: Martin Sillanpaa winning scoring honors in the Conference and Bob Niemi being named as All Tourney Guard.
