Waterville High schools football
team outweighing the Gardiner High
boys about 10 pounds to man, defeat
ed the local boys, Saturday afternoon,
on Ouimby field by the score of l3 to
O. One of theE1ouchdowAs came as u
result of a fnisplay OF Gardner III
the very first period and but Tor ina,
there Is no doubt but that> Gardner
would have held their opponents u
n single touchdown. Mostly old-fash-
ioned football was used by Watervlll@,
rushes through the line, gaining much
ground for them. Estes made several
long runs outside tackle and the for
ward pass was used at least once with
good results. On the other hand, Gar
diner used several trick formations
and were making good at it until the
misplay in the first period. Gardner
also tried the forward pass several
times and twice made small gains
with it. Neither side punted much.
For Watervlle the star player was
Estes, while Eaxter did good work.
Iabrack ran his team in good style
Captain Connors carried the ball well
for Gardner and Libby was good
ground gamer on the formation plays
wiley started in at fun back and was
doing finely until he went out OF the
game. James O'Brien made some fine
tackles on his end and also helped
Connors in getting the runner. w.
oBrien, who showed up we'll last sea
son. was not up to his usual game
nj IL.
and with little more weight will be
a dandy.
Wateryiile received the first kick
off and with line plunges carried the
ball down to the 25-yard line, where
Gardiner held and forced them to punt.
Wiley was used in carrying the ball
away from thesgoal and but for the
poor pass would have gone right up
the field. The ball was lost to Wa
terville on the 15-yard line and IN
three plays Estes took Il over the line
for the first score Williams kicked
an easy goal.
The period was up after Gardiner
had rushed the ball twice and worked
the forward pass for small gain.
When play was resumed Gardiner
did well at first with the formation
PLAYS but Waterville held for downs
and got the ball. Estes made sain
of about 20 yards and only the fine
tackle of Phil Talbot prevented a
touchdown. Estes punted after three
plays. the ball going back to the Gar
diner line Play started from the 30
yard line and soon it was Wateryilies
ball on downs. The half was up with
the ball in the center of the field in
Watervilles possession.
Soon after the third period started
Gardiner was penalized for offside
playing. Gardiner fumbled and Good
no got the ball. Estes made a FUN
BILE and Jimmie O'Brien covered the
ball. A forward pass gained four
yards for Gardiner and then Gardi-
ner had to punt. Estes again broke
through the line for 30-yaTd run.
l.. Mulholland and Baxter were used
in carrying the ball and got within
striking distance when Estes carried
ii over for the second touchdown. VIII
dams missed the goal.
Shortly after the fourth period
started Labrack and w. Mulholland
worked the forward pass for about 20
yards. WateFvile then lost 10 yards
on a poor pass when Jimmie O'Brien
tackled Estes. Gardiner tried for
ward pass but L. Mulholland got the
ball. With one minute to play and
the ball on their 10-yard line, Gardi-
ner, held for downs but were; unable
to make much distance before the
game was over.
