THLETICS TRACK At the track meet last June we took first place in a field of three schools. Clifton Hooper won the half'-mile, took first place in the 100-yard dash, 440-yard dash, 220-yard dash, and was second in the low hurdles. Homer Bridges was first in the running broad jump, high jump and discus throw. He took second place in the 100-yard dash and was second in the shot-put. Donald Heath was second in the running broad jump, high jump, shot-put, pole vaulting and in throw- ing the discus. Lloyd Buckminster took third place in the high jump and shot-put. Calvin Hooper took second place in the mile, and we won the re-- lay, which gave us a total of sixty- three points. VVe have been practicing for the track meet which is to be held at Blue- hill in June. Our prospects for this meet are not so good as they were last year, because We lost by gradu- ation fifty-three of the sixty-three point-winners. W'e have in school 11ow only two point-winners of the last year's team-Lloyd Buckminster and Calvin Hooper. BASKETBALL lVe began the basketball season with only two letter men remaining from the previous year. Due to the green material, a slow start was made. The team was making rapid progress until the middle of January, when the grip destroyed it for the remainder of the season. We won BASKETBALL TEAM Q

THE ooME'r 23 BASEBALL TEAM only one scheduled game, but most of our losses were by only a few points. The best game in Sedgwick this season was with Franklin high school, the Hancock County League cham- pions. At the half we were leading them 9-1, only to have them come back and beat us in the exciting fin- ish, 17-13. The Athletic Council has awarded the following letters in basketball: Elmer Black, Lloyd Buckminster, Calvin Hooper, Samuel Hooper, Lewis Cooper, Richard Simmons, David McCarthy, Loring Nevells and Roland Carter. With seven letter men returning next year, we will have the nucleus for a much strong- er team. '- Ml ll' 'll' B BASEBALL The candidates reported for base- ball April 11, and practice began imL mediately. The team is progressing rapidly, and our prospects are good if a pitcher and first-baseman can be developed. Games have been ar- ranged' with Bluehill, Castine, Brook- lin and Brooksville, by Manager Black. H I
