had mistaken for salt. | was filled

First Foot Ball of the Season
skowhegan Ties North Arson.

The skowhegan high school eleven
played their first game of the year with
North Arson academy last Saturday at
the Emblem fair. The game was very
interesting and intensely exciting. The
North Arson team had been training
under Bates college coach for over
three weeks and had developed its plays
and interference. Our boys on the
other hand had enjoyed hardly weeks
regular practice and therefore had not
attained any considerable degree of the
speed and accuracy of play which they
will later in the season. The up river
team, too, was about ter pounds to the
man heavier than the high school boys
But pluck and GOODNESS combined with
some very good individual work kept
the Arson team from scoring. They
were unable to get nearer than our 80
yard line at any time in the game
Except for minute or two in the sec
ond half they we're unable to make their
five yards.
The Skowhegan line held splendidly.
Capt. Cove Marston, left tackle, in spite
of the tact that his opponent was very
much larger and heavier, broke through
him time and again and stopped the
play for Arson had gained an inch.
For so young a player Marston plays a
very good game. Perkins at LETT end is
another man who will be watched with
interest if he goes to college. Behind
the line Harvile at full and Swain
played good games. Swain did some
good individual work, but was not sure
in team play.
Neither side was able to score in
either half although skowhgan high
gained the most ground Roberts, the
North Auson full back, was star. He
was the best man on the field.
A game was arranged for saturday
afternoon with the same team to be
played at Fairview Park. 1t will be a
sumner if indications hold good. The
home team will have improved consid.
| erably the meantime. 1t will be worth
anyone's time to go up and see it. The
teams lined up as follows:

The new passenger station building at
Madison is to be erected this fall and
winter, work having been begun thereon
already. 1t is to be of brick and stone.
The structure is to be 40x1S feet and to
have all the modern conveniences. The
location is to be south of the present
building so long used for passenger and
freight business. This will be a grand
thing for Madison and we are glad, to
see the improvement in this and many
other ways in that village.
