...Freshman basketball quintet met its first defeat of the season on Saturday, when Hebron Academy won a bitterly contested game...
...Hebron five, which is considered the strongest school boy team in Maine, came from behind late in the second half to snatch victory from the Crimson first year men. The 1928 quintet was handicapped after the first few minutes of play by the loss of Slocum, the brilliant right forward, and of McCurdy, the second string center, who started the game in Green's place. Both received ankle injuries which may keep them out of next Saturday's game...
...position which he held on last year's five, while Leekley moves to forward, displacing Jones. The change has been imminent for some time, as something was needed to bolster the attack which has been the chief trouble so far this season. Not only does this change give the quintet added height and weight, factors which were by no means unimportant in the Columbia defeat, but it will practically double the scoring power of the forward line. Jones' passing and clever floor-work will undoubtedly be missed tonight, but Leekley is a greater scoring threat, and so far in practice...

This combination failed to function in the first period, while Baldwin and Slocum, the 1928 forward pair, ran riot through the Crimson defense. In the second period, Coach Wachter's quintet, with the best passing attack it has shown so far this season, staged a remarkable comeback, overwhelming the Freshmen. Leekley tallied nine goals from the floor in this period...
