C0bURN FOOTBALL TEAM BLANKS
ka.C.LbY SCORE OF 81 TO 0 ON
ALUMNI FIELD, WATERVILLE

watervlie. Me Nov. o1.-[SpeciaD.-
Coburn closed its season Saturday by de-
feating Maine Central Institute on Alum
nj field by score of "a TO 0. The Coburn
team thus establishes d clean record for
the season with the exception of one de-
feat in practice game by the Colby
second team, which should hardly stand
in the scoring OF the teams work for
the season That Coburn has the best
fitting school team in the State was the
universal statement of all who saw the
impressive way they went through, over
and under the Maine Central team. Only
once in the entire game was NJ. c. l. even
dangerous and that came near the end
when nearly the whole Coburn second
team was in the game. The ball had
been secured by NJ. c. /. near the center
OF the field and Coach Shepherd sent in
q young man by the name of Glldden 10
take the place of Newhouse. who had
been doing good work all through the
game. The first play was forward pass
from Emery to Glidden and it was work
ed in fine style, the latter going nearly
20 yards before he was stopped. Emery
then took the ball around the end TOR
nearly 10 yards more and it looked as
though NJ. c. l. would score. but the Co.
burn team with it's secondary defence
in close braced and threw NJ. {. l. back
A try for a goal from the field by Emery
then went wide and ii was Coburn's ball
on the 2o-yard line. Time was up after
a couple of rushes. To the outsider II
looked as though a little more headwork
on the part Of the NJ. c. !. quarterback
might have saved him team shutout.
The Coburn team won because it knew
more football, tackled harder and lower
and gave the wan with the ball much
better interference. Fagas, as usual, was
a star as was McElwee. kewer and w.
Fraser in the running with the ball. The
entire Coburn line played splendid
game, getting through and tackling
again and again before the NJ. c. l. backs
could get under way, and holding the
giant Emery the NJ. c. !. fullback, in
spite of some as fine line plunges as have
been seen on the field this year. This
man Emery was the bright particular
star of the Pittsfeld team, the heaviest
man on either eleven. he played a smash
ing game, being in about every play and
making a large majority of the gains
which his team accomplished. Young,
who played at right end. for the Pittsfield
boys, was also in the game all the time
and there were very few gains around
his end, while he carried the ball sue
cessfully several times. 1t was fine
game to watch as it abounded in open
plays and several long forward passes
were worked in a way to bring round
Of cheers from the spectators. Coburn
was the strongest in this department Of
the game and two of its touchdowns
came as a direct result Of long passes by
Pagan.
In the second half Coburn kicked to NJ.
c. I. The ball changed hands several
times. the Coburn team gradually work.
ing it within striking distance Of their
opponents goal until on a cleverly exc
cuted end run Pagan went over near the
edge of the field. He hurt his ankle and
was carried from the field.
