A Good Game Handily Won by Locals
From Strong Visitors.

The strong Augusta locals met defeat
at the hands of the snappy team from
this city, Saturday afternoon, by a. score
of 10 to 0. The game was very fast and
was fought foot by foot. every play being
stopped with small gains. The team
from Augusta was composed of six of the
best Cony players and five local men.
They came down with this fast set of
players and large crowd of ''rooters"
expecting to win, but they were made to
feel that Hallowell can play football a
little bit and that the team Hallowen
has put on the field, this year, is very
|strong-although not being heavy they
understand the fine arts of football.
At 4 o'clock the teams lined up for the
kickoff. HallowelI kicked to Augusta and
Gordon ran the ball in three yards. On
the first play they gained two, on the
second one, and on the third put it up to
first down. Then by slow gains they adj
vanced the ball to their 25-yard line. Ev-
cry time Hallowelrs line would hold in
fine shape but Augusta would succeed in
getting the five yards in the three downs
until the ball arrived at Augustus 25-yard
line. At this point Hallowell took the
ball on downs and the large crowd of
spectators witnessed some fine line buck
into the line for two and six yard gains.
The ball was rapidly advanced toward
Augustus goal line and was forced over
after Augusta had held twice on her one
yard line. No goal was kicked. Score,
HalIowell. 5: Augusta. 0.
Kinsman kicked to Williams. who ran
the ball in 10 yards. Now the time was
! nearly up and HaIlowell used a different
style of play. White and johnson were
used around end. White making some
good gains, making one run of 20 yards.
Dodge also was bucking the line for five
| and six yards every time. In these line
| plays Fish, a new man, did star work
| opening up holes and breaking through
for tackles. The ball went down the
field to Augustus 35-yard line and then
to her 20-yard line: then time was called
and the first half was over with the score
Hallowell. 5; Augusta, 0.
| The last half was as iercely fought as
the first. Again and again Dodge, John
son and Williams would smash into Au-
gusta's line for good gains and the second
Touchdown was secured by johnson on an

BY the way, G. Carey. also a new man,
played a fine game at end, stopping All
plays around his end and also making
some goods runs with the ball.
In tie last half Augusta kicked out OF
bounds twice, thus giving HaIlowell a
kickoff. They wanted to get the bali
but after they did get 1t on the kickoff
some great line bucking against heavier
men the last touchdown was made. The
game ended with the score 10 to 0 In
