Watorvillc High closed the season,
November 81, at ROckland, playing the
best team Rockland city could place on
the grdiron, there being five men from
outside the Rockland High school. One
was an old Bowduin man, one an old Ban
gor High school man, having played four
years on the Bangor team, one player on
the Boston Athletic Association team, and
two other players of local note. Neither
side was able to score.
The average weight of the Waterville
High school team of '9i is li4 pounds
and the team is generally made up as fol
lows:
Edgar Brown weight l72 pounds, cap
tain and center rush He has shown him
self good tackIcr, strong in brcaing
through, and especially cool in his ability
to follow the ball.
Hall Hoxic, 1852 pounds, left guard, is
good at opening holes in the line and stop
opening up holes in his vicinity. He is
very solid upon his feet and his only fault
is being little slow and not getting in
many tackles,
Benson W. Caswoll IA pounds, right
grari, is a new man, having taken Clark's
place made vacant by that man being
placed upon nm end He is developing rs
II player fast and already follows the ball
we'll and thoroughly understands the
game @...
Nathan =, Tbaycr l45 pounds, right
tat klc, is probably as solid rs any man in
the entire eleven 10 run play against.
He is quick and tackles finely, only lack
ing in snnp after the first half.
Frank Rollins, tia pounds, left tackle,
is gond in breaking through, and es-
pacially gopd in blocking of plays around
his end.
John levine, / rs pounds right end, is
u little slow, but breaks mp all interference
of opponents quickly and tackles sure and
hard,
Samuel Clark, lao pounds, left end, is
rs good an allround player in the line rs
any man ON the team. He began the sea-
son us right guard but was placed upon
tha eud in the first game with Cony High,
and sin1e thon has retained that position,
playing It fautlessiy.
Arthur Fred Alden, is pounds, quarter
hack, Is quick and strong at tackles as
any man ON the team aud is very accurate
in passing the hall. He played half
back at the opening of the season, but was
u little too light for Interfering and was
placed upon the end where he was con-
sidcred TO be in just the right place. But
when he was placed Mt quarter back in
the c. c. l. game, it was seen that he
made a STAR quarter, and in this position
he PLAYED an unusually fiae game for the
remainder OF the season.
Harry James, 1873 pounds, left half back,
started in the season as end rusher, but in
the c. C. /. game played half back where
he has evidently found his proper place.
He is . good runner and blocks and
tackles nicely, and is a good all-round
player.
Ned Wing, l3s pounds, right half back,
started in the season as quarterback,
making rs good one as any in the fitting
schools Of Maine. Here he played even a
better game than ut haif-back, but ON ac-
count of the small number of men capable
of playing back Of the line, he was COM
PEELED TO play as half, but in that position
he has eoyereti himself with glory.
