Although it was only a kids game
Tho article of football put up in the
came saturday afternoon on Quimby
field between the teams representing
Highland Avenue Grammar school Of
this city and Frye Grammar school of
lewiston was credit to both teams
ard their coaches and it was an in
,eresting game to watch. The Lewis
ION lads won out II to 0 by two touch
downs and Il goal while Gardiner was
unable to cross their opponents line.
Lewiston scored the first time when
K.lleys punt was blocked and Walsh.
the sturdy little captain of the WISH
tors grabbed the pigskin and ran 20
Yards for IA touchdown. The second
score was made with less than q min
nte to play. Frye rushed the hall
down the field by means of regaining
4 kick, ii forward pass and two fierce
attempts at Ducking the line. The
Highland avenue boys put up a de-
termincd resistance but the ball was
carried over the line with hardly an
inch to snare
Poth teams showed good knowledge
of the new style game and the game
was married but little by disputes. OF
the latter the officials did NEST of the
talking while the Boys would wait un-
til the question vas settled and ;h6 Il
they would accept the ruling, Wheth-
or favorable or no.. AMI then resume
playing. Lewiston was somewhat
slow in running off plays and We're
warned several times to play faster.
Gardiner lost the game through the
- l,ol h.;,
ter. Nearly every one OF his passes
were drbbled along the ground and
prevented clean handling of the ball.
With that drawback the backs would
pick dp the ball and make good gains
nearly every time. This poor passing
was directly responsible for Frye's
first touchdown as Kelley would prob
ably have gotten his punt away all
right had the ball come good to him.
Gardiner was penaliZed more than the
visitors for offside playing. holding
and once for coaching from TIE side
lines by some of the High school boys.
The game showed that there are soy
eral lads m the Gardiner team who
will undoubtedly develop into good
players for the High school team in 4
few years. Ware and j. Kelley. the
two halfhacks. and Halverson. the
fulback. are all good players for their
age. They are also stockiiy built lads
and should be able to put up quite Il
gene in a few years. The playing of
these boys was perhaps more notice.
able because they did most of the
work in carrying the ball. Talbot
made several quarterback runs and
will no doubt develop into as good Il
player as are his brothers now in the
team Jimmie O'Brien on left end
made Il number of good tackles and
carried the bail several times for good
gains. The line men We're outweighed
make Il very good showing.
Lewiston has Il stocky team and the
players, while not averaging 50 much as
the local boys. We're older and played a
better game O'Connell. Walsh. Shapiro.
Tackaberry and Merrill carried the ball
well and altogether formed good inter-

regular coaching and this no doubt aided
them greatly in winning. Tad O'Brien,
a former player on the Rovers. is the
coach and he has been assisted by Mr..
Curlcy. the manual training instructor.
and Principal Cullen. A return game
will probably be played next Saturday in
Lewiston. The summary:
