Wateryille Defeats
Gardiner High 1870.

The local boys romped away with
Gardiner High, yesterday afternoon,
to the tune of Is to 0, before a crowd
of spectators that numbered almost
400 captain Connors of Gardiner Won
the toss, and Waterville kicked to
his team. which, from the start it
was evident, was inferior to the local
eleven. both as to weight and ability.
Waterville held easily for downs and
after a succession of runs by Null
holland and Baxter. succeeded in
crossing the goal after four minutes
of play. Baxter, after making two long
runs, carried the ball across from the
10-yard line with little difficulty.
Williams failed at the goal.
Gardiner found the WaterVille line
almost impenetrable and used shift
plays time after time, but with little
gain. the men being tackled for a loss
almost every time. Their opponents,
however gained at will. Estes made
nice run of about 30 yards, and lost
the ball on being thrown, but quickly
recovered it.
The second touchdown came in the
second period when Mulholland got a
clear field on the 30yard line and
carried the ball between the posts.
Again Williams failed to boot the
pigskin over the bar. Gardiner con-
tinued TO use shift and trick plays
and forward passes. but to no effect.
Connors made a short run of about
eight yards before being brought
down by Mulholand, who, together
with Goodnoo, Dulac and Kendall,
played a fine defensive game. To-
ward the close of the first half Gar
diner took a brace and held Water
vile for downs, the first time during
the course of the game. just about
this time the local boys had a spell
of fumbling, and lost the ball two or
three times in succession.
Fer the first time since. the opening
of the half. Gardiner made first down
,on two runs by Connors, which net
ted 25 yards. With the ball almost
within the shadow of Watervilles
goal posts the half came to an end.
j. Talbot and Brisk were easily the
stars for the visitors on the defence
with Captain Connors' making prac-
tically all the gains.
In the second half Heath distin-
guished himself for his fine defensive
work. Waterville continued to hold the
Gardiner boys for downs and after
another succession of end runs and
line plunges Mplholland carried the
bali across for the third touchdown.
TWO well-eXecuted passes from Con-
nors to ]. Talbot gained for the visi-
tors about 50 yards and carried them
well into their opponents territory.
Waterville greatly missed Estes in
this half. as he had been replaced by
Stevens. Later Stevens was obliged
to leave the game because of an in
jured knee. and Estes went in for
the last three minutes and succeed
ed in Keeling off about 20 yards for
his team. Just before the close of
the game Gardiner got the ball. but
was obliged to kick on the fourth
down, having been pushed back for
repeated losses. With the ball on Gar
diners 10-yard line Referee Libbey
blew the whistle. bringing to a close
a good exhibition of clean, manly
sport that was almost totally without
injuries.
