first game of football to be played at
the University of Maine. thfs season.
occurred. this afternoon, when the
Eastern Maine Conference Seminary
team Of Bucksport. was defeated to the
tune of 36 TO 0. AS the score indicates
the contest was a one-sided affair, as
Maine, both by reason of her weight as
compared with Bucksport, and also on
account of her experience and train
ing, easily had the advantage. The on
ly interest in the game was during the
second half when six substitutes We're
tried on the Varsity. This new COM
bination made the game more interest
ing in that the teams were more even
ly matched, and during this half only
one touchdown was scored by Maine.
This was caused partly on account Of
the new men introduced and partly by
reason that this half was of 10 minutes
duration instead of Is minutes, the time
of play in the previous half.
Bucksport exhibited a lack of prac-
tice and team work, but on the whole
put up a creditable game considering
the odds against it. Wentworth, Bucks
ports plucky half back, was easily its
individual star, and his several gains
against Maine, on end runs, won him
deserved applause. Luce, captain of
visiting team also did creditable work.
In the first half, Maine had everything
her own way. and it was only few
seconds after the kick off when Park
er rushed the ball nearly the length of
the field for touchdown. Names new
back field. worked to perfection, and
with the development of a strong line
the team. this year. Will be even
stronger than last seasons. Bearce at
left half never failed to gain his dis
tance and his long run around end for
a touchdown in the second half was a
feature. Reid. a freshman, showed up
well al left guard and Libby at left
tackle also showed his ability to adj
vantage.
Considering the strength of the two
teams Names work, today. was. on the
whole, big Improvement over the Bar
Harbor game. Last year it was the
second team that Bucksport played and
scored against and not the Varsity. as
they have advertised it during the year.

CONTINUED INTEREST
A Big Meeting Of the Ohio Valley
Improvement Association Expected
Many Important Matters to Come Up
for Discussion and Action.

The meeting next month Of the Ohio
Valley Improvement Association at
Parkersburg, West Va, promises to
be one of the liveliest ever held.
The Cincinnati Enquirer says;
much more interest is being taken
in the coming meeting Of the Ohio
Valley Improvement Association, at
Parkersburg, than has ever before been
manifested by the people from one
end Of the Ohio to the other, and
indications are that vast amount of
new business will be presented when
the time comes. There is much anxi-
ETY. about the improvement of the sew
eral tributaries that have so long
been neglected, and the people living
ON them are shouting; Come on and
do our work, There are hundreds of
old marines who are unable TO explain
how it is that public work is only car
ried on where the engineering corps
designate, and that places that have
been surveyed for years are being neg
leoted. For instance, Salt river was
coded TO the United States twenty
years ago, with the understanding that
it was to be locked and damned for
commercial purposes. A survey was
made at that time, and congress ap-
propriated s225, 600 for the improve
ment Of that stream, but by some
means the work has been sidetracked,
excepting work done by private sub
soription, nothing has ever been done
to Salt river. All these years the en-
gineering department has been cater
ing TO the locations of Pitts5urg and
Cincinnati, while not a stroke has
been done TO either salt or Trade wa
ter rivers. This is the fifth year that
the Ohio Valley Improvement Assooi-
alton has been in existence.
Inv CluJlhnhlA OoAllhtA NlhA LII
bune says "If the series Of dams for
which the Ohio Valley Improvement
Association is working are built the
result Will be the same along the river
at all seasons of the year. The dams
below will back water up to the dam
above it, and allow the free passage Of
boats at all limos, except when the
ice is SO heavy that it is dangerous to
be out in the river. Even this fault
will be rectified when the dams are up
as in falling over the wiokets the ice
is broken up into such small pieces
that the danger to navigation is re-
duced to a minimum. The building
Of the complete lock and dam system
between Pittsburg and Cairo means
that there never will be possibility
of coal famine, and there will be
cheaper freight rates for all classes Of
goods.
