The spl"rail traln Work counted for
much. I'll" men as i rule worked like
clock work. The exceptions Wei" on
TICK plays, these failing mostly hy
'ohUrnS own fault. Most of tho large
gains were made around tn" ,uds a.
through tackle although some g6ml
ones Were made through the center.
Bangor relied considerably Oh cnd
plays and they Weic never very sue
ceS<ful. The features Of the game were
the two long runs by Bates and the
handsome punt by Webhrr. Hether-
ington also did some fine work at
tackle. But II was team work rather
than individual playing that stood out
most prominently.
Coburn got the west goal on TIL, toss
up and This gave her the advantage of
the wind which wa blowing At thc
time. Bangor kicked off to Coburn'S
2o-yard line and the ball was fumhle.l
on the catch. After advancing ii about
seven yards Cohurn fumblcd and lost
the bail This fumblinG may be- nc-
counted for by the fact that the men

the kick of and their fingers We're nat
urally cold and stiff
Bangor Just about reeaired the seven
yards won ny tnburn when she FUN
BLEED aud the ball went back to Gu
burn. Tho ecrimmages had warmed up
the toburn boys and they set the pac.,
up To- their standard and began to play
ball. Bates took il 10 yards and then
Lowe continued the good work with l.. |
Then Bates went through tackle for
the prettiest run of the game. Thus |
far this season no man has been found |
who could catch Bates after he once
got clear. Danger didn't bring any
one down who could 10 it and he Went
30 yards for a touchdown almost before |
any one realized what was going on. |
This took q tritlc over three minutes |
and Bangor stock fen with n dull thud |
Weber kicked the goal ana the |
score was 60 in Coburn's favor and the |
game in its infancy
The next touch down came even
easier than this first one Bangor |
kicked off Ia Columns a5-yard line and |
W"hhcr took the ball back 10 yards be- |
f"rc 1owned. Then Coburn proceeded |
To hammer out some good gains al |
though small ones. Then Bates took |
IL yards. This WAS followed by some |
short gains and then Curtis was sent |
through the center for Il yards. |
Loves turn came next and he got 10 |
yards. This brought tho ban in The |
