HARRINGTON view
OF RECENT FOOTBALL
GAME IN WATERV|LLE
Harrington Journal Nov. 81

| " eNi minis tpli -NONs ~
The Waterville Sentinel of Nov.
publishes an article under the heading
Just Rough and Tumble" with which
| the Pennington High School and its
| loyal supporters strenuously take issue.
The article charges in substance that
| the F. H. S. football eleven is entitled
| to little credit for walioping the Wa
terville High School eleven to the tune
OF 12O to 0, since it is made up Of
grown men and plays a rough and
| tumble game without any particular
| rules. The Sentinel for other reasons
| tries to excuse the defeat of its pet
High School.
The F. H. S. eleven is made up Of
students of the High School, all of
whom are under 10 years of age, and
all of whom are up date in their
studies. The writer freely admits that
most of the boys on the team work
| when school is not in session. Loafing
is not encouraged in Pennington,
whatever may be the rule in Water
Vile
The Sentinel complains that our boys
wore shin guards and nose guards,
something now rarely seen on the
gridiron.'' To this alarming impropri-
ETY. our boys must blushingly plead
guilty. Pray be merciful in your judg-
ment. however. because the latest
styles of football regalia from Gay
Paree' have not as yet been displayed
here. We would be glad to make
amends by agreeing to play our next
game with Waterville in B. V. DIS suit
ably bedecked with baby ribbon
1t is further charged that the referee
had not sufficient knowledge of the
rules. Please forgive US in our selec-
ton of a referee as we were actuated
by the very highest humanitarian mo-
tlves. We knew what was coming to
the Waterville team and we had every
thing ready for the emergency. The
referee. in private life, is an under
taker, but our team buried the WISH
tors so deep and SO thoroughly that
his services Were not required.
1t is further charged that our team is
crude and its players awkward. 1t
would be folly for our boys to expect
to attain the football intelligence and
nymph-like grace of the Waterville
boys. They have been coached the en-
tire season by one of the best players
who ever booted the pigskin on a
Maine gridiron. Our boys have had no
coaching whatever. We don't claim to
be graceful, but we do claim to have
made 100 points against the Waterville
Chesterfields. Maybe we can get along
with little awkwardness, who knows?
The writer witnessed the game at
Pennington. The Waterville team was
outclassed in every department of the
game. The visitors were we'll treated
and surely have no legitimate COM
plant.
We, up here in Pennington, so far
removed from the refinement Of the
great city of Waterville, lay no claim
to individual beauty or grace. but
we sure do claim that we have a foot
ball team, made up of good husky
American boys. that can hang the high
sign on any prep school in Maine. Lest
you may call us for bluffing let me say
that we will pay the expenses to Farm
ington of any prep school in Maine
whose record this seaosn has been such
as to warrant US an interesting game.
FAIR PLAY.

The Oak Grove supporters, or a

game Saturday in large hayrack
plentifully supplied with Oak Grove
banners. They were very anxious to
let everyone know that they were
from Oak Grove and repeated their
yells almost continually while going
through the city. Although defeated in
the game their spirits did not seem to
falter and they appeared about as
enthusiastic on the return as when
going to the game.

u. OF N. SPECIAL
TRAIN CAUSE OF
Students FRAY
Rumpus of Saturday Morning Is
Not Repeated When Train
Returns to OrOnO

Waterville, Ne. Nov. "A near-riot
station Saturday when a Colby fresh
| man started to tear canvas banners
| from the side of a train bearing Uni
versity of Maine students and support
ers to Brunswick for the Bowdoin foot
ball game The offender was captured
| and taken aboard the train, and Colby
retaliated by capturing University of
Maine student.
The train was stopped and its stu
dent passengers invaded the Colby cam
pus. where a general melee occurred
for a few minutes. Students of both
colleges were considerably battered. and
railroad policeman was hit with a
brick. Police reserves arrived and
peace was restored, each college compli-
mentiI1g the other with their college
yell. President Frederick +. Sully of
the Colby athletic council stated: The
Colby student body regrets the affair
which has in no way lessened its good
will toward Maine with which friendly
relations have always existed Presi-
dent Alley of the University Of Maine
addressed the students Saturday in
Keiths theatre. Portland, and Presf-.
dent Roberts addressed the Colby men
in the College chapel. The weight of
these two gentleman's statements We're
brought to bear upon the serious conse-
uuences of really trivial matter.
The threats of the Maine men to do
up the city and tear down the college
were freely circulated about the city
dusing Saturday afternoon and as re-
suit a large number Of citizens We're on
the platform when the train came in
from Portland. The police department
had been notified by Chies Detective
Russell of the Maine Central. that the
Maine bunch was in an unpleasant
mood and q number of officers We're at
the station ready to take hand in the
proceedings The cooler heads in the
Maine contingent were evidently In
charge. however, and when the tram
came in the Maine fellows did not even
leave the steps of the cars, although
thew were invited to do so by number
of town fellows. who had been looking
on the liauor when it was red. Ihese
men were soon silenced by the offlcers
and the station platform was as quiet
nc when the ordinary train goes
through.

chester Narney, the 17-year-old son
or Mr.. and Mrs. Gus Varney of High
street, was detained, Saturday at the
municipal building. pending a charge
OF breaking and entering. At II o'clock
Friday night, DR.. Frank l.. Tozier Of
High street. living but short distance
from the Varney home appeared before
Night officer William Quincy, on Main
street. with the young Varney boy un-
der his charge. He turned the lad over
70 Mr.. Quincy with the explanation
mat ne had found him in the yard of
the Tozier home, and about him was
wrapped the large buffalo lap, robe
which had been in the Tozier barn.
The boy was placed in the lock I'D, and
Mr.. Quincy questioned him. At first
the lad refused to answer, but finally
responded readily. He std that he
was absolutely alone in his work, and
that no one else had been with him at
any time. AS the result of careful
queries the Varney boy acknowledged
that he had made entrances at the DR..
Ames residence. on the corner of High
street and Western avenue, the Ralph
Jewell place on Western avenue, and
the William ]. Bradbury place, also on
Western avenue. and other places. He
told Mr.. Quincy Of also entering the
freight Office at the Fairfield depot
And he said that his only tool which
he used so effectively to gain entrance
at these several places was a large
screw driver
The boys confessions enlighten many
sto the origin Of the petty breaks
which have been occurring about town
for the past several weeks. although
there are several breaks about which
he was questioned which he stoutly de-
MED any knowledge Of He stated that
he was not afraid when making these
breaks, and that he never thought
about being shot When questioned
concerning his reason for doing these
things he stated that he did not have
any special reason and could not tell
why he did SO. He said that every
thing a thome was perfectly congenial.
The announcement Of the Varney boys
connection with the several breaks about
the town comes as great surprise to
the community, as he is quiet unassum-
ing young fellow and has never been in
such trouble before.
A hearing took place Saturday after
noon, a warrant being sworn out by the
Maine Central Railroad agent against
young varney on the charge Of breaking
and entering the freight office at Fair
field. The respondent pleaded guilty. He
was bound over to the December term
Of court and was let out under $500 bonds.
