never punted, showed us nothing new.
But her game was well played and the
eleven men worked together better than
any Maine school team we have yet seen.
Her backs blocked off we'll and her run
ners followed their interferers closely.
Porrland's effort was SO inferior to their
game against Bangor that any inference
drawn from the relative SEQ res would be
very misleading.
The attempt made by the Forest City
aggregation was as wretched en- exhibit
tion as Portland people were ever treated
to. Team play was uttsrly lacking.
Whenthe backs tried to run there was no
blocking. On efensive work, while the
men went through Thornton's >interfer-
ence several times and around behind it,
weak tackling allowed the runner to
make his distance before going down.
We never saw a team play with SO little
spirit and determination. This state
ment does not apply to few men who
played we'll In the faos of the odds. But
team to win football games must be
capable of playing together with ma
chine like precision.
We regr0 exceedingly that any person
granted the privilege of the side lines
should SO far have forgotten himself as
to have become offensive to players and
spectators alike.
While the game was a disappointment
to many members of the school, and
more particularly to some of the eleven,
we believe that out of defeat has come
the salvation Of the game. There is in
the school the nucleus of winning
eleven. Next season we hope to see it
properly developed.

The football season ended in Portland
yesterday by three great games on the
Deering grounds. The attendance at all
of the games was remarkable for the
weather. OF course the greatest crowd
attended the Thornton Portland game in
the afternoon, and witnessed Portland
defeated by Thorntons to the tune of 2S
to4
A more disagreeable morning than was
that of yesterday cannot be imagined.
The snow of Wednesday accompanied by
some rain had covered the ground with
an inch or two of hard crust, and the
Deering gridiron was as bleak and for
bidding looking a field on which to play
football as was ever seen by the long
haired enthusiasts. 1t was biting cold
too, and fitful gusts of wind from the
bosom of Back Bay would have made the
Deering field Seem homelike to Arctic
Explorer Greeley or Lieut.. Peary had
they been there to enjoy it. Notwith-
standing the weather, fully two hun
dred lovers of the game of football as
sembled on the field in the early morn
ing TO witness TWO as interesting games
as were ever played in this city. 1t was
hard work for these spectators to keep
from freezing and oil sorts of ways were
taken to keep the blood in circulation.
If some of the football players and those
who watched them tussle in the biting
cold yesterday are not suffering from
colds In the head or nneumonia this
morning 1t will be surprising.
