LEE AUSTIN TO LEAD
CONY FOOTBALL TEAM
IN SEASON OF 1928

Lee Austin. son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William H. Austin of Middle street,
was elected captain of the Cony High
football team for the year 1929
Wednesday at a meeting of the IA
men who have won their letters in
football.
Austin has both the knowledge and
experience to lead the team and the
men will be sure to follow him be-
cause of the spirit of good-fcllowshlp
which makes every boy with whom he
comes in contact his friend. His abil-
ity as a football player is unGTestion-
cd and by many he is classed >as the
All-Maine fullback. He played full
back this year and part of last year
Although this is his junior year at
Cony. he has already succeeded in an
nexing three letters for football as he
made the team his freshman year. The
first year he played sNuard, the second
year tackle. and this year he has not
missed a game at his position of full
back. He not a spectacua" play,"

Cony has participate ted have bee.l full Of

also won his letter this year. Lee will

year. lie is a good track man. being
Il good sprinter and cleaning up in the
hurdles last year.
fIe has been fortunate in his foot
ball career as he has only been injured
once. That injury. which was to the
knee and occurred last year. was only
bad enough to keep him out of one
game.
Austin expects to go to University
Of Maine when he has finished high
school, and if he does there is no
doubt that he will be heard from on
other college fields. He intend. to take
a scientific course. but has not vet
fully decided what he will specialize

CONY HIGH NOTES

\ new club will be organized at
the school this afternoon. 1t will be
known as the Mathematics club and
is the idea Of Miss Dunnells, the
teacher of mathematics. Only Senior
and Junior students maintaining an
average of 50 per cent. for given
time are eligible to membership in
this cclub, the object of Which is
more interest in mathematics and the
study of problems outside of the
regular courses. There are 21 Sen
iors and IS Juniors who have MAIN
tained this average since the begin
ming of school this year and they are
eligible to charter membership. The
meetings of this club will occur once
or twice month and it should meet
with Il great deal of success.
Two young ladies from Lewiston
High school, Miss Annie Provost and
Miss Marie Lyons visited at Cony
Wednesday. They were members of
the student council of that school
and were here to see how the stu
dent council of Cony performed its
duties. While here. they were es-
corted about the building by Miss
Lacy Gage, president of the student
council. This part of a plan to eX-
change ideas between the two coun-
ellis on matters pertaining to student
government.
The student council voted Wednes-
day to provide two bak shields to be
used as permanent trophys for the
inter-class basketball series to be
played by both the girls and the
boys. Each class that wins a series
will have their class numerals in
scribed upon the shield. At this
meeting they also nominated part of
the officers for Chizzle Wizzle fair.
The rest will be nominated today at
a meeting which is to be held this
noon.
The physic class under the direc-
ton of the teacher. Harrison Lyseth.
were busy Wednesday taking down
the -extinguishers and testing
them After they were tested it was
necessary to refill them which was
also done by the class.
The next meeting of the Augusta
Teachers Association will be held
December 10th at the harrington
school. The teachers of that school
will be the hostesses and it is hoped
that all the teachers will be present.
Two new students have been ad-
mitted to the school this week. They
are Miss Margaret FaXOn, formerly
of Arlington, Mass. and Whitney
Thomas, who has been student at
University of Maine and is now TAX
ing a postgraduate course at Cony.

Winter sports for Augusta received
another boost Wednesday evening at
the meeting of the joint committees
when Hon. w. II. Gannett. whose
reputation as a winter sports enthu-
siast is we'll known, announced his
intention of building a ski jump this
season in Ganneston Park for the use
Of those interested in learning how to
perform this interesting stunt OF
Jumping on skis. This will be the
beginning. undoubtedly. of the develr
opment of good local talent in this
sport such as has been developed at
Berlin. n. r., and elsewhere.
1T is inadvisable," said Mr. Can
nett, ''to erect professional jump
the first year. a private jump avail
able for those who would like to
learn would be the means of inter-
esting many in ski jumping, ana
would give a very satisfactory start
TO the sport. In fact, while worlds
records could hardly be established
on a small jump, your imported ex-
hibitors would be able to give an
thoroughly worthwhile account OF
themselves and give the spectators
plenty of thrills Such a jump should
be built by experts and it has long
been my intention to provide sucn
jump at Ganneston Park" Here, In
deed, is a real start that gives to Au-
Gusta promise of the first ski jump
in the State and an opportunity to
utilize her spirit of daring and ad-
venture in a new enterprise.
Blaine Owen, who has been
prime mover in the plan of making
Augusta winter sports center. was
elected chairman Of the general COM
mittee. He will be assisted by an
executive committee composed OF w.

pressed to the Associated Press on

interview was an exposition of Japan S
reasons for insisting on a naval ~atio
of 20 per cent. instead Of the 60 per
cent. proposed in the American naval

The attitude of Japan's principal
delegate differs from that voiced last
night by Prince Tokugawa. who ex-
pressed the positive opinion that the
Kanji Kato interview merely repre-
sented the personal views OF Japan's
naval expert.
