Waterville Nov. -(Spccial) Water
vile High and Cony High of Augusta,
played a rafting good game of foot ball
ION the Colby grounds, Saturday after
noon, which was won by Waterville by a
score of ~ to 0.
Cony was slow in getting into the game
and let the home team do all the scoring
in the first half, the first touchdown being
made in three minutes and 40 seconds
after the whistle blew. They made some
costly fumbles at the first, which, assisted
by poor attempt at punt by May, gave
the ball to Waterville on Cony's 10-yards
line. James made an advance OF seven
yards. ami two plays moro took the ball
over.
Cony failed to gain ground when in
possession of the ball during the first of
the game, by attempting end plays. In
nearly every instance when an end play
was tried the Waterville backs would
break through the Cony line. get into the
Interference and down the ball at Il loss of
ground, or the end. usually Capt Clark,
would be sure to down the ball without
gain. Though Cony had very good inter
ferenc. no great gains were made on end
plays during the whole game by them.
Toward the last of the first half the
visitors commenced to buck the Water
Vile line, going into it hard and nearly
every time for small gain They fol
lowed these tactics in the second half.
also with good results, and at one time
worked the ball from their 25-yards line
to WaterviIles sevcnyards line, where
they lost OH downs, failing to make the
five yards by about foot.
Watarville played steady game all the
way through. After her first touchdown,
which was partly the result OF Cony
fumbling and Mays punt into the line,
and partly by the Waterville backs break
ing through twice, downing the ball for
loss of ground, ON attempted end plays,
the Waterville boys for their second touch
down had to work hard. The whole ground
gained, and May punted to Watcrville's
five yard line, was by short gains and
hard work, excepting when Lavine went
through for 90 yards and James went
through the tackles for eight yards.
AS usual, Watcrvilles star game was
PLAYED by Lavine, with James coming in
for fully his shane of honor. Frank Rol
Inns was in nearly every play with good
effect, and Clark guarded his end in great
shape till Cony found it useless to try to
go around him. Hussey was Il good man
at halt in place of Fred Alden, who was
injured in the Kents Hill game Of las'
week.
Cony's best ground gamers were May,
Scribner and Savage and True, till h
was obliged to go out on account Of being
injured, was the star of his team. Pratt
made the most beautiful tackle of the Ola!
bv either side, downing james after h
had made long gain around the left end
The Conys are crowd of young gentle
men and tried to play clean, honest
game They did their best. worked marc
and were only beaten because the Water
yilles are much the stronger aggregation
