GIRLS' BASKETBALL This year Buxton High was repre- sented by a girls' basketball team. This is the first time we have been represented by both boys, and girls' teams. The girls played seven games and were beaten badly by stronger and experienced teams. Although outplayed in every game our girls made good progress and by the end of the season had developed into aform- idable sextet. Gorham, Windham, Waterboro and Scarborough were the teams who defeated us. BOYS' BASKETBALL Buxton High was again represented by a boys' team. Although we were beaten many times we made a much better showing than last year. In the two games with Gorham, one with Waterboro. and one with Windham, we took decisive beatings. The other games were close and evenly matched. We won this year from Limington Academy, Scarborough and Standish. ' Buxton played Limington at Lim- iugton for the second game of the

We have no place to practice and it is necessary for us to go to West Buxton and use the grounds there. Could we have a good ball field here near the school we are confident We would have better teams and consume much less time than we now use going to West Buxton. Our team last year had a fair season, winning nearly half of its games. VVe hope to have a ,better team this year and already interest is running high for the coming season. Several regulars are back XV. I from last year's team, but there are still several gaps to fill. The schedule as arranged to date is as follows: April 20-Hollis at Buxton. April 27-Windham at Buxton.

The game was rather slow and neither team displayed much team- work. At the half the count was tied at 12-all. In the closing part of the game Scarborough rallied and forged ahead to a nine-point advantage. SUMMARY Referee, Hamm. We played a return game with Lim- ington December 15th.
