PHI CHI"
And the YeIIs Of the Bowdoin Sopho-
more Announced the Victory,


Grit clean through
That's that the boys in the Cong High
school eleven are"
And 90 they are, indeed. They vent
aoxu a., 10 the football field Friday after
noon not expecting to score. They had ar
ranged to play with the Bordoin freshmen
eleven. but that team Was unable 70 come,
.ad 90 rather than moi have any game they
hsd the sophomore class eleven come isp.
Nearly every member Of this eleven h a
.,out. robust fellow, endowed with the
Drawn and nsuseie 80 DESTROYS an aeeonpa-
niu,ens TO skill in football game. II Is
ssid that not only 10 this the strongest class
eleven in college, but that no team can be
male up In all the rest Of the college that
can beat them at the game. Several OF
thsi, number, six, play on the Varsity
team. i've Of them regularly ana oae as
substitute.
They didn't intend that the little Canys
should score and the Conys didn't expect to.
I, sas formidable sigh, for the high
school boys when they we're Iineh up in
front Of the college players and IN five sec
onds after the play was begun Fairbanks
va. speeding for the goal with the ball in
hls arms and had secured a touchdown be-
fore the spectators had realized what bad
happened. He kicked goal and the score
stood co.
The game had been called at ten minutes
pas, three, the first half to be 80 minutes
and the second 20 minutes. Now tor near
" half an hour the High School team vas
pushed from one end Of the field to the
other, but no more toschdowns in Ave acc
onds. II was struggle. tackle and down the
greater part OF the time. When the Conys
had the bail they would gaia a few yards
and h. beaten back, but only few yar.Is
at time unless they were close Ia the goal,
when the irr e-istibie weight Of the coil ae
boys "v. " would be thrust through the
line After the score Was made the Cows
had the battle and Written gained little.
But 1t was found that little headwsy could
be made in attempting to rush the ball and
punting was resorted to by the High
school team with but little success howeg
sr In comparatively short time
the Bowtioins had scored again, i2-~o.
Back to the centre they went and Holmes
made handsome run, gaining nearly %
Yards hut soon the Bowdoins had the
bali and it was passed 10 Fairbanks, who
made clean run for touchdown, which
was kicked, and the score stood SO. The
Conys grit their teeth and fight ike young
tigers til the sophs get the bali, and then
they LAY for" the fiery Splinter from
Bangor. The latter tries the same old game
but Written tackles him. Fairbanks
throughout the game demonstrated his abil-
i,y to go down the field with three or four
hanging To him, though on several occa-
SONS light man wonld tackle him just
right to bring him down. The
Conys are forced right through the
goal but kick is missed and Bowdoin, -
Cony. o. Long series of PUSHES, tackles
and touehdowns, go. ST, 90, anil
time Is called.
After good ten minutes rest back go the
boy. and thee Conys have the ball. The
visitors are confident and the home team
desperate.
There is a sudden movement in the rush
line, tonys make an opening and through
it darts W l.. b. Chase, the Cony's
Splinter He has the ball" See him
90 These and many more cries are
heard on all sides The Bowdoin boys try
TO head him OF" They haven't men
swift enough of foot to do it. He easily
secures a touchdown and Whitten kicked
pretty goal and the home team feel that
victory has been virtually won for their
side 1t was the prettiest individual play
of the game and was cheered to the echo,
The score now stands to-.
The rest of the game was repetition of
the first par, with the exception that the
Conys stand up with more confidence, At
! 90 the game was called, The score stood
66--6 and the Sophomore eleven marched
down to their hotel singing Old 'Pm CHI
and giving their class cheer.
There wasn't man on either team that
didn't do bis level best Little Bascome on
account Of his small size and plheky play
ing won frequent comments from the spec
tators.
