a rotating schedule is the fairest for
all concerned; that Bates hopes
Bowdoin will be more favorable to
a rotating schedule when the 1923

to conduct further negotiations it
would be better to establish amicabl
relations with Bowdoin than to con-
tinue at cross purposes.

: Hebron, Me, Dec s.-(SpeciaD-
Hebron Academy again has clear
claim to the interscholastic Maine
football championship. OF the eight
games played this fall, the big green
team lost not one. Bowdoin Sec
ond was the only team that crossed
Hebron's goal line all the season.
Last year Hebron produced cham
pionship team but when practice was
started in September. Coaches Char
lie Dwycr and r. r. Thompson, found
but two letter men from last years
team. The prospects of champion
ship team looked pretty doubtful.
The first game Of the season was
played at Lewiston with Bates Sec
ond. Here Hebron won an easy VIC
tory. The following week. Bowdoin
Second was defeated and week Ia
ter, Bates Second took another whip
ping. Then the team went down TO
Bridgton where they swan1ped the
Bridgton A. G. Lewiston High was
the last team played before the green
team went up against her old rivals,
Kent's Hill. This fast eleven, fresh
from victory over Coburn Classical,
was forcedto take q II to whipping.
The next week excitement reigned
high, before the game with west
brook Sem. Heavy snow falls during
the week made practice almost i'm
possible, but the Hebron boys went
down to Portland and succeeded In
carving the pigskin across. West
brooks goal three times. Having de-
feated the strongest teams in the
State, Hebron rightfully claims the
title.
In the middle Of the season, owing
to the failure of Capt. Chink Ham
mill to return to Hebron. Douglas P.
Pabbidge was elected to lead the He
bron eleven. Babbidge is a senior.
He comes FROM New London, Conn.
He attended the Buckley and the
Suffield school in Conn, where he
earned his letter in both football and
track. Capt. Babbidge played stel-
lar game at right tackle He intends
to enter Columbia next fall.
The team was ably managed by
Charles LaRocca, of Boston. who also
played second string quarterback.
At the close Of the season the letter
men elected James Wallis Of Swamp
scott, Mass, captain for next year
Wallis was three letter man at
Swampscott His last year he was
captain of football. Many Of He
bron's line bucks and long end runs
were due to his speed and strength
at right half. Upon graduation, he
intends to enter Dartmouth.
Earl Smith of South Hadley Falls,
Mass, proved to be a most plucky
and dependable quarterbac ok. His
punting and open field running We're
the features of every game.
The pivot position was well filed
by Jack Prince, Orr's Island. who
won his letter last year. Prince is
manager and captain Of track. He
will go TO L. Of NJ.
Sam VTirer, Of RoXbury, won his
letter for the first time playing a fine
game at fullback. Winer, who comes
from Boston Latin, is tennis doubles

Not Such a Bad Idea, Either

The Pocket Pack of Blackstone
Cigars is made in two sizes. The
large size holds ten Blackstoncs.
The smaller size holds fire.
Last year, about Christmas
time, surprising number of
these packs were sold. 1t turned
out that men were buying a
number of these pocket packs
and passing them out as presents.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1921-12-07

You can buy Blackstones in
boxes of fifty and in boxes of
twenty-five. But how about all
those fellows to whom you want to
give some cigars but not boxful?
The very thing! A pocket pack
Of Blackstones for them. A real
Havana cigar, mild, fragrant,
pleasant. No paper bands, but
the name is branded on the cigar.
