The candidates for the Cony High
foot ball team went to the trottinsy
park, Wednesday afternoon, and put in
a little practice. No real playing was
done, only a little practice, falling upon
the ball, etc. Although the new play
ers are rather light they seem to have
the snap and ginger that makes good
players, and with some good coaching
there should be good team. There is
talk among the players outside the
school of forming a team, and if this is
done it will be a great help to the
school boys to have a good team to
practice with. The first game that the
Cony High boys will play will be with
the Nichols Latin of Lewiston, at this
city, one week from Saturday. Ere
that time our boys will be able to give
a good account of themselves.
