Kent's Hill, Oct. 16-(SpeciaD-Today

foot ball, but it did not deter the Kent's

fought entirely on it's merits, she was
clearly outclassed by her opponents.

who led our team to victory for the
pennant in '95, also the face of Bobby
Cochrane, who was a member of that
same victorious team. were seen in tn :
Westbrook team: but they had 10
fears for our sturdy knights of. the
sridiron. who literally damned them
into the dust. For Westbrook, Den
nett and Tracy played the. best game.
while Cochrane's work was ordinary.
Kent's Hill played brilliantly. and its
team work, both on the offensive ami
the defensive, was superb; every man
played his position finely. while tine
work of Lufkin, Vickery, Mattocks,
Smith and Captain Alden was especial
ly good. Captain Alden is a fine play
er: cool headed, brainy, handles his
men admirably, while his own work is
source of inspiration to his men.
At no time during the game was
kent's HILL in danger of being scored
on. for the ball was in the Westbrook
territory continually.
