ABBOTT 22..SKOWHEGAN
HIGH D
Saturdays Game viii be Between Wa
terville High and the Local Team

Half frozen, after two hour ride
over the most slippery roads conceiy-
able, the Skowhegan boys jumped out
of their crowded automobiles on to
the football field. and were beaten by
the big Abbott School team last Fri
day at Pennington % to 0. AS large
as is the score the boys deserve credit
for holding it to that for they couldn't
have played under more adverse con-
ditions. In the first few minutes of
play little Crotto made beautiful
tackle of a man twice his size, but
the contact laid him out for the re-
mainder of the game After few
disastrous attempts to make gains
around Skowhegan's ends Abbott re-
sorted to straight line bucking, her
heavy backs rarely failing to make
good gains through the holes made
by them by the big center and guards,
and the ball was kept almost continu-
ally in Skowhegan's territory
Bison made good gains for Show
hogan. Clark was not in the lineup,
his place at half being taken by Mer-
rill, Grundy again playing guard. With
the exception of Crotto the boys came
out of the game in good condition and
are working hard for Saturdays game
here with Waterville High. This
should be good contest and a big
crowd of supporters ought to be pre-
sent.

Wlghtman of New Jersey Writes
Poem

We are in receipt Of poem writ
ten by former Skowhegan woman,
Mrs. Alice NJ. Wightman, now of New

old home, lately destroyed by fire.
Mrs. Wightman is the daughter of

ly occupied by Alexander Easier,
which was burned to the ground, Sep
TENDER 80. 1914. Dr.. Mann was a

being connected with one or more pa
pers of his time. His death occurred
in Skowhegan, May u, 1851 and were

homestead was devastated by flames
on the anniversary of his birth

RUSH HILL

We had a white Christmas this
time, with zero weather. Mike,
the Duck, says: 81 don't know
whether it is the wanderlust or
the love of home that sets us 20
thinking of Christmas trip. But
many will plan journey for
Christmas time and the journey
will usually lead back to the old
home. A little gold and silver in
the purse and a few days leave
of absence, and the trick is done.
We are back at the spot where
Christmas always seems so real
and to where at Christmas time
our hearts will ever travel,
whether we actually make the
journey or not. For some of us
there will be no more Christmas
journeys home, for the dear old
parents who made the trip worth
while to us have themselves de-
parted on a journey for which
they carried no gold or silver in
their purses, and from whence
they will not return for even the
joyous Christmas reunion around
the old home fireside. J."
