Perkins was clearly tue star for Ellsworth,
and Tribou for Bucksport.

the bail down to the five-yard line, where
they lost ii on tumble. Bucksport
weight told and they soon had the ball
back near the centre of the field, where
they lost it ona tumble. Then Ellsworth
tried another tumble which cost ten
yards and the ball.
The high school boys cheered the
hearts of the Ellsworth contingent by
holding their heavier opponents for
downs. Then they got into the game"
in better shape, and walked through the
Bucksport line IN surprising manner,
gaining their distance almost every play.

Joy sent ball to centre of gridiron;
tumble by Bucksport gave Ellsworth the
ball. Another punt took the ball to
Bucksport's 20-yard line, where Hurley,
by some tall sprinting, VAS on hand to
gobble it up. 1t was big gain for Ellis
worth.
The ball was soon lost on fumbles how
ever, and Tribou, of Bucksport, got in
SOME heavy work. The bali was worked
down the field, and over the line for
Bucksport's second touchdown, which
was we'll earned. Bridges failed at a hard
goal, and lost the opportunity to tie the

more touchdown. Joy punted to Tribou
on Bucksport's 15-yard line. Tribou

Perkins over the line for another touch
down. Only twenty seconds more re-
manned, and the game ended with the
score 16 to 10.
