Local Football
Fan Has Word on
L.AH-Prep Selection

An Augusta football fan writes the
Journal as follows:
Frank harrington, star halfback
on Cony's football team. who some
coaching might develop into a good
man. was picked recently by Wood
bury Howe, assistant coach at Deer
ing. as sub halfback on his all
Maine schedule team. 1t might be
well to explain why such an extra
ordinary honor should fall to men,
Der of Cony team.
In the eight games which Cony
played, Harrington scored IS touch
downs and one field goal for total
of 81 points. Two or them were
made against Waterville and two
against Lewiston, a feat which no
other entire team could duplicate
during the season. His score is
probably the highest individual score
for the State and is one point more
than the entire Deering team scored
for the whole season.
Besides being the fastest man
Cony High has ever produced. he did
practically all the punting with an
average nearly 40 yards, was good
drop kicker and as a thrower and
receiver of forward passes has no su-
perior in the State. OF course the
fact the Deering stopped him might
be sufficient proof that he is only
a second rater and it must be adj
mittcd that Woodbury. had a fine
chance to look him over being on the
field at every opportunity"

Criticism as well as glory was show
cred on the Bates College football
squad Saturday afternoon at a meet
ing of the Bates Club Of Boston held
at the City Club. The club, which is
made up of. alumni OF Bates College,
got into lengthy discussion on the
football team when one of the mem
bers suggested a resolution attacking
the athletic management of the col
lege. The resolution was voted down
by a big majority.
During the discussion which follow
ed the criticisms of the mana cement
Of the team. many of the "old guard
came to the defense of the 1921 team,
declaring that a Bates eleven which
could hold Yale to IS points and keep
several other heavier teams from scor-
ing against them was a fighting ma
chine which should be backed up and
not antagonizcd.
Walter L. Ranger, a graduate OF
Bates. now commissioner of education
in Rhode Island, was the chief speak
er of the afternoon. He spoke of the
great feeling OF fellowship existing
between Bates graduates. President
Clifton d. Gray of Bates was ais,
present and told the members briefly
of the big drive about to be launched

PRAISES FOOTBALL
EDUCATION AID

John j. Tigert. United States COM
missioner of education, Saturday adj
dressed several hundred educators at
the New England Association of
House auditorium.
Commissioner Tigert declared that
training on the football field is far
more important in development of
character than the importation of
knowledge. The noted educator
who, in. college days, was a football
star praised the sportsmanlike spirit
of the Harvard Centre players. He
served as an official in the game.
Mr.. Tigert said that when man is
put on a football field in the pres
ence of 10000, he is put into a cru
chile. "Yousput him in such a state
of mind that he feels almost that the
destiny of the world depends upon
him." said Tigert. IF that man
comes through and refuses to take
advantage by any dishonest trick
then YOU may be sure that in the bat
tie of life afterwards he will not go
wrong" D.
The commissioner advocated teach
crs be more concerned with devel-
opment of character, and with in
sitting the spirit Of loyalty and CO.
operation in their pupils than in the
importation of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Norman F. Miller of Lewiston was
elected captain of the Bowdoin col
lege football team today. Miller is a
Junior this year, and is acting presi-
dent of his class. Injuries received
his freshman year kept him from
participating in many games. but he
earned his letter his sophomore. year,
and has acted this season as a very
capable substitute for Captain "Ar"
Morrell in fun-back position.
Miller's work this fall has won him
high praise. He is a very speedy
open field runner, hard hitting
back, good defensive man. and
punter of more than ordinary ability.
Aside from his punting, he was gen.
orally considered shade better than
the Bowdoin leader. Because OF
"Al" Morrell's injuries, Miller took
part in more games than his cap
tain the past season. t
Miller prepared for college at Ed
ward Little High of Auburn. He is
a member of the Alpha Delta Phi
fraternity, and is very popular with
his college mates. Other candidates
for captain were Jeffrey Mason,
guard; and Joe Smith. halfback.

Brewer, Dec. o-Thcre are two ex-
pert riflcmcn in Maine on the
way to win the Chisholm cup and
incidentally the State championship
of the Maine Sportsman associa-
ton. The cup was put up by Hugh
Chisholm of Portland some years
ago.
At the last field day Of the associa-
ton at Greenville, DR.. l.. S. Chilcott
and Leslie w. Somers, both of Ban
gor were tied for first place. They
scored 10 out of 10 .bulleyes at 100
yards. They.are considered two of
the best riflemen in Maine.
A protest has arisen regarding the
score for alleged infringement of the
rules. In view of this circumstance,
Merton II. French, president of the
Sportsmans association, has created
commission, consisting of Howard
Wood, formerly president of the
Maine Warden's association, David
Brown, both of Piscataquis county,
and Kenneth Lee of Augusta, also a
crack shot. They will sit in arbitra-
ton over the mooted points in Ban
gor next Friday
Growing out of the hearing. one of
the riflemen will have probably
reached the second leg toward the
coveted Chisholm cup. To hold it
permanently. it must be won three
times by one of the rifemen.

Naval Academy ROWING

Annapolis. Md, Dec. 5-The Naval
Academy has received an invitation
TO row against Harvard and Prince
ton on the Charles River, May s, and
will accept if official permission can
be obtained.
The greatest athletic ambition of
the Naval Academy at present is to
meet Princeton on the water, and it
is almost certain that it Will do so,
either at Cambridge or in American
Henley. in which Princeton is enter
ed this year. 1t is also likely that
the midshipmen will again row In the
Poughkeepsie regatta, which they won
so decisively last season.
Capt Morse who rowed at No. 4. is
the only member OF the crew who
graduated, and the Navy will still
have five of those who rowed in the
crew which won the worlds cham
pionship at Antwerp in 1920.
AS seven members of the varsity
graduate in June and are given
leave of about a month, it should be
easy to keep the crew together in or
der to row at Poughkeepsie about the
middle OF the month.
Clyde King. stroke OF the Olympic
crew and IAll-American tackle, is
captain of the Navy crew for the
coming season. He will graduate in
June, and his final athletic ambition
is to get another chance at Prince
ton, which unexpectedly defeated the
Navy at Princeton last season. SYRIA
cuse and the University OF Pennsyl-
vania will probably be the only other
crews on the Navy schedule during
the coming eason. .~
