The Capital Basket Ball Score Book (Revised).
An interesting piece of Maine 1930s high school basketball history, with a dollop of North Dakota history thrown in!
The Score Book starts out with a page of Bismarck vs. Fargo at Bismarck, North Dakota, March 27. 1931.
Bismarck: Harold Tait; John Spriggs; Eddie Agre; Wade Green; Lester Dohn; George Allen; Leo Benser; Dale Brown
Fargo: Fisher; Olson; Rasmussen; Charbonneau; Aamoth; Schollander.
Referee: Nichols; Umpire: Wyttenbach; Scorer: MacMahon; Timer: Anderson
The rest of the book deals with games played in Maine, mostly centered around Mechanic Falls, Maine, which is near the Auburn/Lewiston metropolitan area. Perhaps the scorer, MacMahon, moved from North Dakota to Maine.
