SKOWHEGAN HIGH WINS
But the Has.Beens Gave the Students
Hard Run for Their Money

A football game was staged at
Fairyiew Park last Saturday after
noon. Very few knew about the con-
test therefore the spectators were not
many but those who did journey to
the grounds saw a game long to be
remembered.
The final result was Go with the
Skowhegan high eleven on the long
doesn't tell the story. 1t was in
reality a hard fight and the fellows
who used to play the game, augment
ed by few who never saw contest,
gave the high school boys something
to think about before they crossed the
last chalk line in the shade of the
has-been's goal
Chase and j. Meader rather featur-
ed for the students and John Taylor,
champion of many ring battles was
the shining light for the opposition.
Time and again, with that same PROV
ess with which he has laid many an
adversary groveling in the rosin, he
shattered the high school defense for
consistent gains. But to no avail.
Experience tipped the balance and
Johnny's line plunging couldn't tai
ly.
