FOOTBALL.
A Sharp Game between Ellsworth and
Oldtown High Schools.

The football game Saturday between
the high school teams of Ellsworth and
| Oldtown was undou ubtedIy the best ex-
hibition Of football playing ever given in
Ellsworth. The game was sharply con-
tested, and cleanly played. 1t was wit
messed by about 800 people, who grew
enthusiastic over it.
The Indians went back to Oldtown with
a fresh scalp at their belt, but realizing
that their victory was not due wholly to
their prowess The game was lost to
Ellsworth by the crowd. 1t is hoped the
lesson will prove lasting one.
This is how it happened. The first half
OF the game had been played and nett her
side had scored. Only few more min
utes of play remained in the second half.
The ball WAS in Odtown territory and
dangerously near the goal. The Els
worth boys were playing the game OF
their lives and were making steady gains
over the Indians.
In the excitement the crowd, which had
encroached on the field during the entire
game, pressed forward until half a hun
dred people were well inside the field.
This was the situation when Webber, the
Oldtown full back, got he ball on Camp
BELLS punt. He started down the field
directly toward the crowd. The crowd
scattered, opening a path for Webber,
but effectually blocking the Ellsworth
players. When Webber emerged from
the crowd he was well down the field,
with clear field before him. 1t was
stern chase for Ellsworth, and Webber
made touchdown after a run the full
| length OF the field. He kicked a goal,
and the score was 60 in favor Of Old
town. This was the only score made dun. .
ing the game.
| But few minutes more play remained
Everyone realized that the game was
lost, and that the crowd had lost it. 1t
was unfortunate, but "'twas no use cry
ing over spilled milk. The crowd did
the next best thing, and during the re-
malnder of the game kept outside the
lines. 1t was the general verdict that it
was better to have lost the game than to
! have won it in such way.
/ The game throughout was marked by
the clean playing OF both sides. The
! Ellsworth team showed Wonuerful i'm
/ provement over the first game, and give
the credit of this to Coach Conners. The
team lost one of its best players in
Beliatty, Who Was unable TO play because
OF a sprained ankle received i'll pract ice.
The two teams We're quite evenly
matched, but the ball was in Oldtown
territory most of the time.
The Ellsworth line was solid, and with
| stood every attack of the Indians. Tap
ley, who played centre for Ellswort h, put
up fine game. 1t was the first game in
which he has played. Most of ElIsworth's
gains were made on punts by Campbell,
which were feature of the game. There
were very few end plays in the game.
Cushman, Mason, Thorsen did excellent
work for Ellsworth.
Following is he line up and summary
OF the game:

by loans, or an increased revenue.
While large annual surplus of revenue
may invite waste and extravaganza, in
adequate revenue creates d%istrusl and
undel1nines public and private credit.
Neither shoIld be encouraged. Between
more loans and more revenue, there
ought 10 be but II opinion. We should
have more revenue, and that without
delay, hindrance or postponement. \
surplus in the treasury created by loans
is not a permanent or safe reliance. 1t
will suffice while it lasts. but it cannot
last long while the OUTLAWS Of the gov
eminent are greater than its receipts,
as has hecn the case during the past
TWO years. Nor must it be forgotten,
however much such loans may tenn
pOrar.ly relieve the situation, the gov
eminent is still indebted for the amount
of the surplus thus accrued, which IL
must ultimately pay, while its ability to
pay is not strengthened. but weakened,
by q continued deficit. Loans are inn
perative In great emergencies 10 pre-
serve the government or its credit, but
q failure to supply needed revenue in
time OF peace for the maintenance OF
either is no justification.
