Questionable Methods
BY E. L. H. S. Management
(Portland Expressly


All athletic relations between Ed
ward Little High and Haverhill High
Schools have been severed as a re-
suit of the game at Hnverhill last
Thursday. in which Coach Bill Skin
ner of Auburn. under the assumed
name OF "O'Neil." acted as umpire
for the contest and turned the game
into the Maine boys hands, 1t is
claimed by Haverhill sporting writ
ers. by his wholesale and unjustified
fouls called on the Haverhill players.
The fact that Skinner was acting
as umpire for the game leaked out
after the game. Immediately Prncf-
pal Arlington Glow and Coach r.
William Frederick got into commun-
ication with Principal L. E. Moulton
of Edward Little relative TO the mat
ter and it was admitted by the Ed
ward Little principal that such a
thing occurred. 1t was the claim of
the Maine team that IAN official from
their locality was needed to safe
guard their interests" and as q re-
suit Skinner assumed the role and
posed as a neutral official. the cour-
tesy of choosing a fair umpire for
the game being given to the Edward
Little authorities by the home team.
The game will be protested, accord
ing to the Haverhill Gazette. and will
make the Hayerhll High basket ball
record a clean one.
