Skonhegan Football Heroes Have
Rightly Earned the Champion

By defeating Gardiner at Gardiner
lasl Saturday, Skowhegan High grid

title az the champion High School

la core of 42-0 against the strong
Gardner team under the most adverse
conditions under which the team has
played this season. serves notice to
ICony, South Portland or any other
Iligh School claiming the state title,
that they must play Skowhegan or
admit that they fear to do so.
Cony has already been challenged
by Skowhegan. but has tried to crawl
from undor by saying that the result
would only determine the supremacy
of the Kennebec Valley schools. They
ARE evidently sidestepping the issue
in the same manner that they did the
baseball title two years ago.
The Kennebec Journal says that the
football fans of Augusta would much
prefer to see title game between
Cony and South Portland.
Since several responsible local
men who attended the game at Gard-
ner, made 1t point to interview many
representative football enthusiasts of
Augusta, with the result that to man
they were desirous of meeting OF
the Cpny-Skowhegan squads, the To-
cal rooters are wondering.
There has been some agreement that
SkoWhegan has not met some of the
so called heavy and fast teams of the
state and consequently her record is
not entitled to recognition. 1t is
we'll to state that Skowhegan high is
not properly located or financially
able to admit of such a schedule
However, her record shows that she
is in a class of her own and before
this can be doubted her supporters
will have to be shown.
Lovers of the game both here and
in Augusta are dcsirous of seeing a
game between SkOwhegan and Cony
he game to be played on neutral
grounds and under neutral officials
Properly advertised the gate receipts
would he large and those attending
would see one of the best football
games of the season.
