Especial to the PRESS
Bangor, November l6-Bangor was rosy on
Saturday night. Not with the fiery red of
the Bangor High school. but because of the
crimson display of the Portland banners
dipped in Bangor blood. In a slippery field
with strong west wind blowing. the Port
land High foot ball eleven placed the best
game of its life, carrying Bangor's chosen
men before her, resisting every onslaught
OF the famed Hickson and Sawyer and ear n
ing victory to be proud of. The game was
won not on any fuke but by as good team
work as one could wish 10 see. Not a man
shirked. Tue line outplayed Bangor's. The
backs went at their work with a determine
tion and get-their which carried everything
before thems Every man is deserving OF
parise for his good work. The men were
outweighed by an average of eleven pounds
to the man, and it was hard work at times
to standsup against Bangoi's terrific batter
ing.
Boys you have won the first Bangor game.
The victory was a decisive one. But you
have not won the second game yet. Don't
stop where you are. Don't think YOU know
all the foot ball your competent coach can
teach you. Remember that Bangor has been
carrying around swelled head for some
weeks. Profit by their example. Keep up
the good hard honest work you are capable
Of Embrace every opportunity to improve
your game during the coming week, and
you will be on top this year.

like ffuke. Bangor's quarter passed to
the end, Snow. Snow attempted to pass to
Murray (Princeton's double pass but De-
vine catches the ball and runs thirty yards
before being downed prettily by Sawyer
Portland makes short advances to the five
yard line. Here the Bangor guard broke
through and tackled behind the line, the
only time that such a play on Bangor's part
occurred through the game. Portland at
tempted the U. P. inter ference, but Bangor
secured the ball on the pass. They could
gain but fifteen yards. They tried the CID
"battering ram without success. They
sent Hickson through. tried both tackles,
but Portland secured the ball on the twenty
yard line. In four rushes the ball lay over
the line nestled under Sanborn's arm. Port
land could not make fair catch on the
punt out, so Bangor kicked off from the
centre of the fields. Portland starting on
her ten yard line carried the ball by good
brushes up ne field seventy yards. Sullivan
was hurt and was forced to leave the field,
Burke taking his place. Bangor got posses
sion of the ball on her twenty yard line and
