Close ard Exciting Game Questionable De.
cision in Favor Of WatersilIe.

One Of the largest and most enthusiastic
crowds of spectators of the season wit.
messed the foot ball game, Saturday after
noon, between the Cony and Wateryill,
high schools. The game resulted in favor
of WatervilIe High, GA.
Some first-class playing was exhibited
and both elevens showed the results of good
practice and training. In the first half
the only scoring done was by Cony High.
one touchdown, made by True after long
run of 80 yards, behind excellent interfer-
ence This run was the feature Of tht
game as far as individual work was con
cerned.
The interference Of both teams has beer
well worked up, and some brilliant emo
plays were used with good effect. The
Cony boys played with greater snap thar
their opponents, especially in working the
signals and getting their men started.
The Waterville team was deplorably sloT
in this respect, but showed good judgment
in finding Cony's weak spots. There was
marked absence of kicking and botl
teams lost by not taking advantage of this
to relieve their men.
The Watcrville team won the toss ano
chose the western goal. Cony had the
ball. Savage kicked off.
Watervillc advanced to Cony'S 10-yard
line, but could not make their five yards,
and Cony got the ball True made his 50
yards run and scored touchdown. NJ
goal was kicked. During the remainder
of the half the bali remained near tho
centre of the field and neither team could
make much headway.
The second half opened with some lively
work. Both teams were playing hard and
the ball went back and forth and made
things very interesting, all around.
Finally Watervillo got the ball, and ir
four rushes around the ends, advanced t.
Cony's 15-yard line. On quick snap.
bDck Watcrville worked around Copy'
right end and scored touchdown, from
which James kicked an easy goal. Timl
