A DEFENCE OF FOOTBALL.

The stuff in our Anglo Saxon blood
footballs popularity also supplies the
stamina and wholesome aggressiyeness
of our race. The same impulse of conflict
that is in us needs some recognition.
Football meets that unforgotten need OF
the race which in the days of chiyaIry
joust. There is no quality that nation
can less afford to lose than it's aggressive
man1lcess. 1t is a quality amalgamate OF
courage, endurance, restraint and the
power to act surely and unfalteringly in
an emergency. 1t is quality which foot.
ball tends to foster and keep alive. If is
not, however, in the great match games.
where the competition is the fiercest, that
we are to measure the real influence Of
football upon national Inanliness. More
significant is the effect of the pervasive
spirit OF the game among the whole body
OF the students in our schools and col
leges; 10 the making and training of
that team of the httest which each jnsti-
tuition selects to uphold it's honor in the
Held, go numerous scrub Teams
Through these secondary teams and Nv
the enthusiasm of both players and non
players on the field of practice, the whole
some football spirit works through the
mass. In this game q man learns IN
he learns the control which comes Of
knowledge He learns to be cool-headed
while he is impetuous, to think and a ~
on the instant. And if he has the mati nv
of a man in him he attains that blendins
of courage and courtesy which dist;ns
guishes the strong man from the ooHar-
full brute.-Illustrated American,

In this dispute between the supporters
of Thornton Academy and Time Keeper
Kinds one thing is Plainly to be seen. The
referee of that Thornton Kent's Hill
game at Saco last Saturday, exceeded his
authority in his endeavors, no doubt, to
do what he believed to be right. But in
extending the time of play one minute,
after having failed to take out time
during wait in the game, he did just
what he mad no authority to do.
Thornton Academy won the game by d
score of to O., and won it by fair play
ing, even Kent's Hill admits this Where
Kent's Hill made the mistake was in
playing after the time keeper had called
: time up for the half Had they left
the field then there would have been no
goal scored, and they would have been
acting within their righte. But in con.
tinuing to play Il minute longer than the
time agreed upon for the half, they for
feited their right to protest the score and
must therefore abide by the result.

PERRY HELD FOR MURDER.

Pennington, November 24.-The hear
ing of Paul Perry, charged with an at
tempt to kill and murder Louis King at
Eustis last Thursday. proved to be of I'M
usual interest here this afternoon. Perry
is native of st. George, Canada, and is
woodsman although recently he took
out guides license. He pleaded not
guilty to the complaint. The govern
ment put on five witnesses, and the state
attorney, asked that Perry be held for the
grand jury. For the defense it was as
serted that Perry shot in self defense, and
was justified in his act. Perry did not
take the stand in his own behalf. Judge
Thompson held him for the grand jury
and in default of $500 bail, Perry went to
jail.

THORNTON CLAIMS CHAMPION
SHIP.

The Blddetord Journal publishes the
following table, for the correctness of
which the PRESS does not youch, and
claims to show by means of it that Thorn
ton Academy has won the champion
ship This claim will not hold good until
Thornton meets Hebron, Bangor or Port
land. But the Thornton Academy team
does not care to tackle any of these teams
unless it be Portland. whom the Sace
boys think they can easily defeat. Despite
Portland hard luck this season the boys
on the High school team will not eonoede
Thornton Academy the championship
until they are defeated by them, and as
for Bangor and Hebron-well, Thornton
is not anxious to play them.

MEDAL FOR MAINE MAN.

Boston, November 24-The Massachu-
setts humane society has sent a silver
medal to Enoch Sawyer of South Bridg
ton, Maine, in recognition of his services
in saving from drowning Miss Elvira NJ.
Stein of Dorchester, Massachusetts,.
Miss Stein last August fell into Adams
lake at South Bridgton and Sawyer jump
ing in after her, brought her safely to
shore.
1t is unusual for the Massachusetts
Humane society to send a medal for
bravery to another state, but in this in
stance it was regarded that Miss Stein S
death was certain but for the quick action
of Mr.. Sawyer, and that he showed great
bravery in SO promptly jumping into the
water.

THoRNT oN-keNT's HILL GAME
Another Letter From Time Keeper Kinds
on tho Subject.

The following communication is self
explanatory:
Portland, Me-, November "a, 1897.
Portland Daily PRESS:
The writers of the communication
which appeared in this mornings PRESS
are away off when they say that the
kents Hill team and myself agreed On
the extension of time in the first half. 1
did not say that / was the only time
keeper in the game for there was Thorn
ton man who kept time with me, who
agreed with me that time was I'D before
it was announced. At the end of the first
half, [ said to him: My watch says that
time is up" He replied that there was
five seconds more by his watch. / let it
run round fifteen seconds longer and
asked him then if time was up. He said
that it was. / announced it and Dow,
the half back stepped in and started to in
terfere. Then Thornton time keeper said
to me that he would find out whether or
not there was time cut, ana he did. The
reply from the referee was, II forgot to
blow my, whistle, but will give one more
minute of play These are the honest
facts of the case.
Very respectfully,
W D. Kinds.
