THE HIGH SCHOOL
eleven CLOSES A
SUCCESSFUL SEASON

Having been unable to arrange a
satisfactory game for Thanksgiving
| the High school football warriors call
ed the season finished after fairly
satisfactory schedule of games. The
| team has for the greater part of the
time played consistent football, but
has been handicapped by being very
much lighter than majority Of the
elevens that it has played against.
Against teams Of its class it has play
ed hard, clever football and has been
able to be returned the winner in a
| majority Of the games. The season has
shown that Waterviile High school
can turn out a good football team if
given some encouragement by the Off
Gals Of the schools and with a good
coach. Sub master Fraser has been
| the coach this year and with the ma
terial that he had to work With has
turned out fine team. one that play
ed the game to the limi. of their
strength and were never beaten until
the last whistle had blown. The team
Will lose by graduation only one or
two men this year and should be even
better next season.
The season Of 1915 was started with
game against the strong Bangor
High school eleven. The local boys
did themselves proud in this contest
and came home with only one tough
down being scored against them. the
score being to in Bangor's favor
The next week they went against
Cony at Augusta and held them to
tie score. neither team scoring.
week later at Waterville they did not
do as well and Cony was able to win
by score of Is to 0. SkOwhegan High
was the next team met and this team
was defeated by score Of II to 0.
Oak Grove. which always has a good
team. was turned back by score Of
s to at Nassalboro.
The next week the local boys met
their Waterloo, being set down by
Pennington High school by a score of
100 to 0. but the Waterville boys sim
ply took their medicine like good
sports. Oak Grove journeyed here the
next week and were again defeated,
this time by Il score Of Z to 0.
The following week came the big
game of the year with Lawrence High
school Of Fairfield The two teams
were evenly matched in weight and
both had been coached by Colby men
and there was a great deal of inter-
est in the game. Waterville finally
Won by score of 13 to after a great
uphill fight, that showed the results
of the coaching they had received.
The grand total of points scored
by the High school and against it
does not look very good. it being 3S
by and 147 against, but if the Farm
ington game is taken out. the result,
SO to 81, looks much better and that
Pennington game should never be in
cluded. as it was like sending Gram
mar school boys up against a college
team. The boys of the schools may
we'll look forward to a good team and
one that will make first class show
ing in games with the smaller High
schools Of the State, for next year.
