play Cherrytield academy at Ellsworth.
DIRIGo, 11-CALAIs, 5.
The Dirigos turned the tables on the
strong team from the "border city" last
Friday, winning by score of lbs. The
score would have been Ito, as the touch
down scored by the visitors was due to
what many spectators alleged to be the
unfair decision OF the Careless" umpire.
1t was apparent to any close observer on
the side-lines that three times at least the
Calais team failed to make distance, but
the referee, who was the manager of the
Calais team, said they did. Then on the
final decision, when the ball was close to
the Dirigo goal line, and an attempted
punt was blocked, Cushman, of the
Drigos, fell on the ball, while a Calais
player fell on top OF him and put in a
claim on the ball. 1t seemed to everyone
who saw the play that it was "Ellswort h Is
ball', but the Careless referee gave it
to his own team. The next play put the
ball over the line for touchdown. These
partizan decisions well illustrate the
danger OF allowing man interested in
either team to act as referee. Fortu-
nately the Dirigos had the game we'll
clinched.
The game was characterized by the hard
work done by both teams, and the des-
perate "kickingo of the Calais players.
Hatch, the U. OF NJ. man who is coaching
Bar Harbor, refereed the first half in an
eminently fair and impartial manner, al
though charged by the visitors with
several "roasts'
The spectacular feature of the game
was the ninety yard run and touchdown
by Leland at the beginning of the second
half. The other touchdown by Dirigo
was made by Perkins in he first ten min
utes play in the first half, after some good
line bucking and tackle plays.

BUCKsPORT ELLSWORTH HIGH II.
Ellsworth high school was defeated at
Bucksport yesterday by the seminary
team, by score of 22-11. Considering
the fact that the Ellsworth boys are
much lighter than the seminary team,
they made a remarkably good showing.
Bucksport made nearly all it, gains on
end plays, attempts to get through the
Ellsworth line being unsuccessful. On
the other hand the Ellsworth boys Wen
through the heavier Bucksport line with
apparent ease, making distance at nearly
every try.
In the first half the game was all one
way, the Buck port goal never being in
danger, the half ending Is to 0. In the
second half Ellsworth forced the Bucks
port line the whole length of the field for
two touchdoWns without losing the ball,
but when the seminary boys finally got
the ball they made another touchdown.
There is talk OF another game between
these teams.
