GORHAMS.

AT the KICKOFF the Dali was given TO
the Gorhams, and they failed to get the
ball beyond the fifteen yard line and it
passed to the Westbrooks. Alter several
passes the pig skin was in the embrace
of Bryson, and he had an easy thing
across. the Gorham lines, making hand
some touchdown.
1t was in the second half that the Vest
brooks played the game and they not only
awed their opponents, but surprised
themselves and their trainer. The ball
was passed to half back Porter, who
made a transverse cut across the field.
He was soon tackled by the whole Cor
ham team and was compelled to make a
down, but to the great surprise of the
Gorhams the ball was in other hands and
when they collected themselves half back
Hodgkins had passed beyond their line,
without oppositions and had ma de
touchdown. 1t was very clever play,
and it is stated the Gorhams are still
wondering how it was done. 1t worked
SO successfully that the Westbrooks' half
backs succeeded in making two more
touchdowns, and a goal by the same
tactics. No one was injured during the
game and no bad feeling shown. Wednes-
day the High school team will play the
Yarmouths at Yarmouth, and Saturday
that team will play the Westbrooks at
