at Bangor Saturday
BY PLAYING THE HEAVY LUMBER
MEN TO A TIE.

1t Was Great Uphill Game for Portland
1t Surprised the Confident Bangoreans-
Bowdoin Easily Defeats Bates-other
Games.
Bangor November 16.-The Portland
and Bangor High School boys played a
rafting good game here today and 1t re-
suited in tie 16 to 16, as good as a
victory for Portland under all the clroum-
stances The Portlands are happy crowd
tonight and their friends in Portland are
supposed to be equally happy. 1t was
great victory.
At about five minutes past three
Captain Sullivan led Portland onto the
field amid the cheers OF the Portland
crowd. which was on the east side line.
Portland was quickly followed by Bangor
and both teams took the preliminary
warming up The wind was quite strong
from the north.
The game resembled many other Port
land Bangor contests, in that both sides
gained ground so readily. In the first
half Portland had no opportunity to show
her offensive play until the very last and
the gains made then showed the wearers
of the blue that their time was coming.
When Bangor had the ball they played
rapidly and their rushing was very fine
In spite of Bangor's score it can be truly
said that Portland played snugly on the
defense, Bangor backs never running
through clean holes but making fighting
gains on weight. Many of Bangor's ends
can be attributed to holding particularly
in Bangor's criss-oross play. Chapman
and Devine certainly showed for another
time that they are more than all right.
Crowley played well and Snow gained
ground often Allen did some brilliant
tackling and both tackles kept in the
plays we'll Hussey kept the giant
Gilman in bounds and made one of the
largest runs of the day. Gilman gained
lots of ground for Bangor, both he and
Corners running very hard Portland's
backs started we'll and found their holes
All of them made brilliant gains. One
Of the prettiest plays of the day was made
by Underwood. Portland had the ball
on Bangor's four yard line and Under
wood made running dive, clearing the
heap and coming down across the line.
Sullivan duplicated his play of two years
ago and ran round Crowley thirty yards
for touchdown.
Portland is extremely fortunate to have
substitutes who are right up to the
standard of the regular men. Anderson
and WEIGH, who replaced Robinson and
Allen Both played strongly. Portland
ought to be highly pleased and satisfied
with the work of the team.
On Bangor's grounds on a wet field,
without the support of an enthusiastic
crowd. with the score 16 to against
them they never lost their sand a
moment, but pulled the game out by
splendid rushing Griffith ran % yards
on his first attempt and made splendid
gains right through the game.
