THE KENT's HILL ELEVEN.
The Seasons Strongest Academy Team
in the State.

In 1895 the Kent's Hill football
team and every member a student OF
the preparatory schools of the State
having successfully defended it's right
to the title by defeating in turn the
winning teams of the Junior and Sem
ior Leagues of that year. The success
of the team that year was chiefly due
to Myron E. Bennett Of Sanford who
was manager. and captain and worked
indefatigably for its success.
Since that time the success of the
different teams representing the school
has been varying until the present
time. This year, Kent's Hill has put
team into the field of which the MEM
bers of the school and the alumni can
well be proud. Not ringer on the
team, and every member student OF
good standing in his studies. Not only
that, but in the games which have been
played the team has unquestionably
demonstrated that it is one of the
fastest, if not the fastest preparatory
school team in the State. Up to the
present time the only teams to dispute
the title seriously are Hebron and

Hebron on her own grounds last Sat-
urday, by score of 6 to 0. and thus
put Hebron entirely out of the contest
so that the claim for the championship
now really stands between Lewiston
High and Kent's Hill. Twice Kent's
Hill has had games scheduled with
Lewiston and twice have they been
cancelled. 1t is to be hoped that
game can be arranged so that it can
be proven beyond question which is en-
titled to the championship, as such
test will settle the question as no state
ment on paper will.
Not only has Kent's Hill been fOrtu-
nate in having good men but in Coach
David r. Porter of Bowdoin 1906. she
has had coach of great ability and
knowledge of the game and to him
much credit is due.
Richard Allen of Columbia Falls plays
at center. He Is 10 years of age,
weighs 1866. and this is his first season
of football. He has played his posi-
ton excellently, passing the ball we'll
and is exceptionally good on defense.
James Read of Waterville is 20 years
of age, weighs 100 lbs, and has filled
bly, and in tight places has shown
splendid generalship. He is an expe-
rienced player having played end on
the Waterville High school team of
1901 and quarter back on Kents Hill
team of 1902. He is a good all-round
player and fills his position admirably.
Carl Greene is another Waterville
boy and is the captain and mainstay of
the team. He commands the respect
of his men both on and off the field
and is equally good on defense and Of
Tense. He has been captain of the
team and played right half back ever
since he has been in school and as
ground gamer has few equals. Hts
weight is $50 lbs.
Thomas Gestonguay who plays left
half is n Brunswick boy, 20 years of
age, and weighs 1853 lbs. All of his
football experience has been obtained
at Kent's Hill. He entered school
years ago and played substitute end
during that season. In 1902 he was
placed at left half and has retained
his position easily ever since. He is
quick, heady. and speedy and as a
hurdler he probably has no superior
in the preparatory schools throughout
the State.
William B. Quincy comes from Dor
chester, Mass. is 10 years of age. and
weighs 1862. He plays at left end which
is the same position that he played on
the team Of 1902. He had little or no
experience in football before entering
the school burt has proven himself
worthy Of the position which he holds
The man who gets around his end Is
fortunate indeed as he is sure and
fierce tackler.
Ernest D. Jackman lives in Fayette.
IL 20 years old, and weighs 100. He
plays at right guard this season and
substitute during the season of 1901
and 1902. He fills his position well and
Is fully capable of taking care of his
opponent though he be a heavier man.
Murray Carroll comes from Razor
vile. is 21, and weighs 40 lbs. He
plays at right tackle and had a very
fall of 1902 but did not make the team,
owing to lack Of time to practice. The
present season, however, he has been
able TO play regularly and has proven
a tower of strength to the team. He
Is a good ground gamer and a sure
tackler.
Floyd Coddington is from Mombac-
cas-. N. Y, and like the majority of the
other players, got all of his football ex-
perience at Kent's Hill. His age is
%, weight $50 lbs. and he plays at left
guard. He is full Of grit, and is quick
to grasp and take advantage of his OPP
ponent's weakness and is perfectly (
to take care of a man much |
heavier than he.
Eldridge Hunnewell Of Madison plays |
left tackle and no better man than he |
can be found for the position. He puts |
life and dash into his work and can be |
counted on every time. He is sure !
tachler and never fails to drop his man. |

age. Never played football until last |
season when he played the same posi-
ton. .s
