Exeter game, of October 10, left the
Maine General hospital at Portland,
this week, and returned to his studies
at Brunswick.
Cony High closed it's season some
what suddenly and under a cloud, but
its record for the fall was most cred
liable one with five games won, one tied
and two lost. 1t scored 104 points to "a
by it's opponents.
Where is the old time rivalry between
Coburn Classical Institute and Water
vile High? Their annual game used
to be one of the events of the fall in this
part OF the State. This year but little
has been heard of either eleven.
OF the college elevens, Colby has no
game scheduled after today, Bowdoin
and Bates will play at Lewiston, next
Saturday and that will close the season
for both of them. U. of M. will play
Holy Cross at Bangor, next Saturday.
The game between Bangor High and
Coburn Classical Institute, scheduled
for, today, has been cancelled. Bangor.
however, will have a game with Brewer
High at Brewer. Monday, when it will
endeaVor to win back the laurels lost
to Brewer in a recent game.
The Saco Gun Club eleven and the Co.
G team of Biddeford, have deposited
with the Biddeford Journal, 500 a side,
for game Thanksgiving morning.
There is great interest between the two
|elevens in regard to the game, and it
promises to be one of the hottest played
in the two cities for years.
1t will be strange if some team, today,
does not try the trick by which the Car
Isle Indians scored on Harvard, a week
ago. namely that Of hiding the ball
under the sweater. 1t is sort of q
childish expedient that might not work
with all officials, and certainly q team
could not be fooled by it very often.
Lewiston High and Edward Little
will play their second game, this after
noon, Lewiston easily won the first
one, 81 to 0, but the Auburn boys are
confident of a better showing, today
They have worked hard and several
men are back on the team who We're
kept from playing in the first game by
low scholarship standing.
Wednesday, Nov. II. the Bar Harbor
eleven will leave for Washington
county, where two games have been
scheduled. On Thursday, Nov. u, they
will play the Calais Athletic associa-
ton at Calais, and on Friday Will meet
the Midtown Athletic Association at
Midtown. Saturday, Nov q, the Mill
town eleven will play return game at
Bar Harbor.
Portland High will play Westbrook
Seminary on the latter's grounds, today.
This game was to have been played on
the Portland High school football
grounds, but the Portland High man.
agement, in consideration of $50, voted
to transfer it's game to the Seminary
grounds in order to allow the Ozanam-
Naval Reserve game to be played on
the P. Fl. S. grounds.
Riddeford football enthusiasts are
much interest ID in the game to be played
there, today, between the S. and Fl.
team and Co. Gs eleven. The teams
have put up $50 side, and there will
be no backing down. The S. and II.
team is made up of some of the best Of
the Thornton Academy players, re-en-
forced by some experienced men. Co.
G also has a team Of experienced play
ers, and is heavier than the S. and H.
team.
Over at Bangor today, the strong
University of Maine eleven will try to
clinch it's claim to the State champion
ship by defeating Bates. 1t looks as
though it would succeed but it will have
no easy task. Bates has a good team,
this fall, and the injured players who
have been out of the recent games, are
all in good condition. Last year Bates
won the annual game with U. of NJ |
and it may surprise people by repeating !
the trick.
With the possible exception of the ,,
Portland High School-Bangor game, the
event of the football season in Portland
is the OZanam-Naval Reserve game |
which comes off, today. So great is the |
interest manifested in this game that a
number of business places will close in |
order to give their employees an oppOr- |
tunity to attend. Both teams have |
done lots of hard work in preparation |
for the game, and contest to the finish |
is expected.
Today's great game in this part of |
the State is that at Watervlle between |
Colby and Bowdoin. In recent years |
there has never been any lack of inter-
est or hard playing when these two
elevens meet and neither will be lack
ing, this afternoon. The odds seem in
favor of Colby through it's better con-
dition and the work which may be ex-
pected of it's individual stars. 1t also
has the advantage of weight.
But if Bowdoin goes home beaten it is |
certain to be after hard game. A spe-
cial train will go up from Brunswick,
at Gardiner, Hallowell and Au-
gusta. Many Bowdoin men feel that
their team will win, today, and it will
be supported with enthusiasm to the
