THE MARGARETTA 31 'lx F I BASKETBALL Under our new coach, Mr. Haley, the M. H. S. Bulldogs enjoyed a very suc- cessful season. The boys won 13 and lost 5 games, the largest number of games the High School team has played for a long time. At the call for basketball candidates, about twenty boys responded. Out of this group, Mr. Haley formed a very effective team. Two lettermen were left over from last year, John Stern- berg and Ivan Graham. The team was .made up of the following: J. Sternberg, I. Graham, forwards, F. Reynolds, cen- ter, F. Higgins, P. Cole, guards. The substitutes were F. McDonald, R. Mc- Donald, Q. Davis, M. Clark, R. Phil- brook.

This was only the first game, but the prospects looked good for the rest of the season. Stern- berg was high man, with 6 points, fol- lowed by McDonald and Clark with 5 points each. The second out of town game was played with Lubec, one of the county favorites. Machias' 22-9 lead at the half was too much for the local boys to overcome. The Bulldogs pulled the first upset by a 29-27 margin. Stern- berg was high scorer with 14 points, followed by Cole with 7 points. Our first home game was a triumph long to be remembered in Machias. Sternberg rang the bell for 31 points. The superb passing of the Bulldogs, which allowed their captain to shoot inside the foul circle, was too much for the Red Raiders. The score: Machias 51, Washington Academy 21.

Philbrook, L. G., Coach Haley. Lubec came to Machias seeking re- venge, but Machias, with three vic- tories, had no idea of this happening. At the end of four very slow quarters Machias was ahead 40-20. During the last four minutes, Coach Haley played his second team, which held Lubec to 3 points. Graham was high scorer with 22 points, followed by Sternberg with 10 points. With four victories under their belt, Machias ventured out to tackle Den- nysville in their own hall. Sternberg. who fouled out in the first five minutes, had 5 baskets to his credit. By run- ning up a big score in the first period, Machias held a fighting Dennysville team at bay. With but one point sep- arating the two teams and with only 20 seconds to go, Machias held the ball and hauled one of the closest games of the year out of the fire. Graham was high scorer with 16 points, followed by Sternberg with 10 points. Both Gra- ham and Sternberg fouled out. Machias suiered its first defeat at the hands of last year's champs, Wood- land High. Machias started to click in the third quarter, but Cole fouled out and Graham sprained his wrist. Ma- chias fought like true champions, but all in vain. They died with their boots on. Woodland 42, Machias 26. Stern- berg with 14 points for Machias, and Slefinger with 19 points for Woodland were high men. 1 We made a new rival this year in a classy Alumni Quintet. The Bulldogs won the first game 49-36. Machias led all the way in a tight, hard-fought bat- tle. The pace was too much for the older boys, who had not been playing regularly. Sternberg for the High School and Longfellow for the Alumni
