it's great record for the season. The
Cumberland county high schools were
going through a process of elimina-

Deering high took a Il to 0 beating
at the hands of Portsmouth, the
eleven which Cony handily wallopcd
go. Portland high bowed down in
defeat to Thornton Academy Go,
team which had been decisivcly de-
fcated by South Portland; and
stephens high Of Rumford topped the
South Portland Gridders, 10, putting
them out of the running. Up in
Madison SloWhegan's score slate
was cracked by the NJ. II. $. eleven,
they not only chalking up a touch
down on the hitherto unsecured on
Somerset county contcndcrs, but
holding them to a ~ tie.

their cheers were frequent and snap

from the high school building to Cap

trumpet and drum corps, and the red

were prompt in the exchange of
courtesies, and We'd with each other
