Winter sports outlook and local fishing game notes
A Maine column surveys winter sports in the region. It notes heavy snow in uplands promising skiing, interest in reviving hockey rinks, and local youth eager for sleds and skates. It covers fish and game matters, a January meeting to form a county federation, a game supper with buffalo meat, and a Falmouth gun law ordinance debate. It also recalls 1927 Biddeford Journal notes on Thornton Academy basketball and the upcoming TA vs South Portland opener.
