WATERVILLE.
A REMNANT OFFERED.
Athletic Association Will Give a Trophy for
Fitting Schools Contests.

If the plan outlined at a recent meet
ing Of the executive committee Of the
Colby Athletic Association are carried
out the base ana foot ban teams from
the fitting schools in the State will
have q pennant to contest for instead
Of simply glory as has been the prac-
tice for a number of years.
1t has now been nearly four years
since any trophy has been offered the
winning foot ball team from the fitting
schools. That trophy was offered four
years ago during the foot ball season
and was carried off by Thornton of the
junior league
Since that time the teams have been
lighting the battle out pretty much as
they pleased, each team playing as IL
wished and with whatever team il
wished. AS the result the close Of the
season has found several foot bail
teams claiming the championship al
though II did not really belong to any
team.
short time ago Principal John +.
Nelson Of the High school suggested
70 some Of the members Of the Colby
Athletic Association that il would be a
good idea for Colby 70 offer q pennant
10 the winning team. His suggestion
was met with favor by the members Of
the committee and ut the last meeting
Of the executive committee the plan
was discussed.
There are in reality two plans. One to
offer pennant to the winning foot ball
team and the other 20 both the winning
foot BAN and base ban teams. The
meeting discussed both plans in an in
formal manner at the last session ana
finally>chOse Frank Alden. Lawrence
and Townc to look into the plan ana
Sc what could be done also about its
advisability.
one Of the members Of the committee
in speaking Of the matter yesterday
expressed himself in favor Of the plan
and thought il would be necessary for
the committee to get 90 work on the
idea at once so that meeting of rep
resentatiVes from the schools could get
together and report whether or not
they were in favor of the idea. One
reason why he thought the committee
should act al once was that some CON
clusion might De arrived at before the
schools closed for the spring vacation.
AS ~ understood the plan the scheme
Is 70 be put in operation for the foot
ball season this fan.
Should this plan be carried out. and
there seems to be bur little question
that il Will, each school viii have
schedule Of games 10 play in order to
win the pennant and when the season is |
closed no school will have a chance to
claim the championship unless it right
ly deserves it through having put up a
winning fight.

the present time they are not able to give
the rate of taxation, but in two weeks All
will be ready. They cannot even give an
estimate, but think it will be as much as
2 mills less than last year. II inns IS ST.
the rate will be Is mills on the dollar
This Is caused by the increased valuation
Of the Gardiner Water Co., Gardner 1teai
Estate 90. and the Kennebec Heat ana

ers whose property has been raised In
valuation. Then there are a lew whose
property has decreased IN value, btlt not
enough TO anywhere near offset the IN
crease. While the rate is less than last
year, the taxation is practically the same,
for it has TO be borne by a few more
