EDW. LITTLE, II; GARDINER, 5.
Victorious Home Team Runs Against
Very Tough Proposition.

Gardiner High ran up against a snag
when it tackled Edward Little,
Wednesday, for the latter walked it to
the home team to the tune of II to 5.
Gardeners reputation was somewhat
strained by this game. as the home
team did not play up to the average
and several fumbles proved costly. This
seemed to be one of the weak spots in
their playing and certain places in the
line We're not as strong as usual. How
ever, the game was interesting to the
big crowd that was on the field and
some startling plays were made by
both teams.
After the toss-up Edward Little
kicked to Gardiner and the ball was
caught by Messenger who made a good
gain before being downed, and on the
first down the same player started the
game with one of his famous runs and
made some 10 yards. Here it was that
Auburn gained possession of the ball,
for Mcnamara tried Palmer for a CEN
ter play and the latter fumbled the ball,

city will be played Thursday before
THANKSGIVING and will be with the Y.
NJ. c. A. team of Portland. The Gardi-
Ger team will go to Brockton, Mass,
Thanksgiving, for a game with the

Whlch was smothered by an Auburn
man. The position of the ball was not
very far Instant from the home goal
and after twoN Intellectual tries for a
gain trick play was sprung on Gardi-
ner and Left End Ashton of the WISH
tors crossed the goal and put Auburn
1--WE III the read. Bradford then made
the score six by kicking a pretty goal.
The teams then changed goals and
Auburn again kicked to Gardiner and
Messenger caught it and gained several
yards before stopped. Hopkins then
made good gain through center but
on the next play lost several yards and
Gardner was forced to punt. Bobby
Messenger mad this feature in charge
and the punt that he made was dandy
and a long one, and when the ball
struck, Foster of Gardiner was handy
by and dropped on it and a big gain
had been made. Another fZZle was
made here and Gardiner fumbled and
lost the bail again. Auburn then began
series OF tries to break Gardeners
line, but it stood firm and after three
downs the ball reverted to Gardiner.
This was the time when Gardiner woke
up and got busy. for wry Messenger
was soon streaking down the field and
had gained about % yards when
stopped against his will.
Hopkins was then put against the
ball and he started a series of skin
tackle plays that soon put him back
into his old-time popularity and also
over the visitors goal line and scored
five for Gardiner Messenger then at
tempted TO score a goal but failed by
n margin so slight that it was pardon
able. Gardiner then kicked to Auburn
and then Bracket and Goss did some
pretty work for the visitors. Gardiner
High then held Edward Little for
downs and took the ball and after Mes
senger had been given try to make
gain and succeeded in it as usual,
time was called and the first half ended.
In the second half Messenger kicked
to Auburn and on lining up Goss and
Bracket did some star work at gain
ing yards. On formation for q tackle
back play, Ashton stole around Gardi-
ners end and showed the score up to
II, and Bradford made it ~ by kicking
another goal. Auburn then kicked to
Gardiner, who soon lost it on downs.
and then Gardiner returned the compli-
ment and held the visitors. Hopkins
lost some distance on poor interference
and Messenger was forced to punt. and
after one down time was called and the
game ended with Edward Little the
winner. y to 5.
