Waterville High Notes

The final practice before the Skow
hogan game was held Friday night
at the High school field. There was
light but important work out. A
complete review of signals and plays
were held over the blackboard before
the men went out to the field.
On the field there was extensive
work in signals. The forward pass
was discussed and plays were given
for its use and the defense Of it. 1t
is improbable that Skowhegan Will be
able to make any gains of impor-
lance via the over head route. Thi-
ends ran them down with the half
backs catching them.
Little is known about the Skowhe-
gan eleven but il is expected that
Coach "ArChic' DOstie. former
BoWdoin fullback. will present some
thing that VIII be some puzzle to the
Cyrites. Last Saturday Skowhegan
defeated Oakland 40 TO O.
The following men Will make the
trip: ends, Michaud. Grant and Null
holland; tackles, Cyr. MERCER. Arm

Coach George Hendrics spoke In
chapel at the Waterville high school
Friday morning. His talk was di-
rected upon the Waterville Skowhe-
gan football game at Skowhegan this
afternoon. 1t is the plan of the coach
20 take the entire squad TO Skowhe-
gan and also to all other games
away from home. He was in favor
of this plan because of the hard work
and consistent attendance at prac~
tice. He also promised that the team
would make better showing than
they did against the D. L. aggrega-
ton from Colby. The only thing that
the coach was pleased with from last
Saturdays game was that the boys
could play against big odds.
There has been vast improvement
in the squad and Bullet" predicts
win for his cohorts.
Manager Armstrong was also a
speaker He dwelt upon the import
ance of buying season tickets as the
team needed the support. There will
be an allotment of tickets for the
people out side of the high school.
The local fans are urged to buy
ticket to help the boys. The Bangor
high game will be held here this year
and this game alone will be worth the
price Of the ticket. Last 4ear the
