HALLOWELL HIGH WILL
HAVE SNAPPY TEAM

winning football eleven from squad
Of but Is candidates is the task laid
cut for Puck" DeWever, the cA-
Bates star, who is coaching Halo
well high this fall. AS the deficiency
is one of numbers rather than of quail
ity, and as six of the squad are vet
eran regulars, the task is by no means
hopeless one. Speed and lightness
are typical characteristics Of Halo
well high football teams This years
outht promises to be speedier even
than its predecessors, but, unfortu-
nately. lighter also.
Watson and Meader arc regarded as
the strongest members of the eleven.
Watson is playing his third season
as quarterback and Meader his sec
ond as end. Both are spectacular
players. Watson, who is of very
small stature but solidly built. has
taken on lot of weight since last
fall and is expected to outdo his pre-
vious performances. He is usually at
the spot where a tackle is to be made
! and he always gets his man. regard
| less of the runners size or agility.
He is also successful in carving the
bail and has faculty for finding
holes in the opposing line Meader
particularly distinguishes himself by
his dexterity on the receiving end of
forward passes and on the defensive,
: in breaking up attempted end runs
far behind the line of scrimmage.

Edward Sheehan is the teams man

10 Nov. ? Definite arrangements for
games after that date have not been
made. hut it is the hope Of the man
acement that contests can be arrang-
ed with Brunswick, Oakland and Conv
teams. Several seasons ago the Conv
PLAYERS and supporters became af-
fccted because Of alleged rough tao
ties by the Halowell boys and treat
ment by the referee which was not
just 10 their liking. 1t is reported that
at last the old sores have healed and
that Cony will consent to risk another
engagement with her old rival. Moth
ing would be more pleasing to the
Hallowell boys.
