Every one should go out to the Deering
grounds this afternoon to see the game of
football between Hebron and Portland.
The p. H. S. team has been changed
considerably since the game with Ban
gor. Anderson, who has been playing
right tackle, will hold down one of the
ends and other material changes have
been made in the line up. The Hebron
team is very strong, and the chances are
that today's game will be very close and
exciting. Johnny Sullivan, last year, 8
Portland's captain is now the captain
and left half back of Hebron. A large
crowd of Suiliyan's admirers will doubt
less be on hand to give the plucky young
Portlander a hand when he makes some
of his old time plays.
Griffith of last years Portland team is
now attending school at Westbrook Semi
nary and coaching the football team Of
the Portland and Cape Elizabeth electric
road for its coming game with the Wood
man Cook company on Thanksgiving
forenoon. Devine. the captain of the P.
H. s., team is coaching the Woodman-
Cook company's team at odd moments.
Ned Wing of Waterville, who play ed
falf- back on the Wesleyan team in Sat-
urday's game at West Point, did the best
WORK for his eleven. He made both Of
Wesleyan's touchdowns and kicked both
goals. He is being played regularly at
full back for Wesleyan. Ned and his
brother Frank were both strong players
on the Waterville High school team and
for the Kents' Hills last season.
The Biddeforc Journal has this to say
about lhornton's game today with Co.
burn: "The prospects for the game
Saturday are very encouraging, and
while Thornton has to play her best
game of the season undoubtedly, it is
confidently expected that she will be able
to do SO. Coburn Classical has beaten
Bangor this year and Bangor beat Port
land. AS compared with Portland the
game of Saturday far surpasses it in
seriousness 1t would bs bigger feat
for Thornton to beat this team than to
again take the Portlands into camp
Thanksgiving day as is their intention
now.
The Bangor High school team will play
the Maine State college freshmen eleven
at Maple wood Park tomorrow afternoon
and good game may be expected. The

High school boys as much practice as
they will want.-Bangor Whig.
