HEBRON.

A very unsatisfactory game of football
was played Saturday horween Hebron
anu Thornton on thee latter's gridiron.
The Hebron boys we're treated with I'M
fairness and insult from the moment of
arrival to their departure. One of the
officials was the coach of Thornton g
team and more unsatisfactory decisions
wsre never rendered on any gridiron in
this State. The crowd was the typical
Saco crowd and the Thornton boys Will
be lucky if they over get another team to
visit their city. Surely Hebron never
will. FRANK WHITCOMB.
