been subbing at left end since Boyd's
layoff. suffered broken left collar
bone in the second quarter Of the Cony-
Waterville game Saturday. Howell
had been playing a whale Of a game
and was in every play. and when he
met with the injury that retired him
from the game he was running inter-
ference for one Of Captain Austin's
line plunges.
To show the Elm City lads that they
knew something about the forward
passing game. Cony worked the 'old
shoestring" on the first play after the
kickoff Saturday. It was a tandem
right lineup and Poor slipped into
Howells place on the left wing while
the latter was way over on the side
lines under some kind Of atmospheric
camouflage, he took Franks wide pass
perfectly and netted 50 yards on this
play that is SO old it was apparently
new to the Waterville boys.
AS we recall the advance dope for
last Saturday. Holy Cross was sup
posed to submit meekly to a trouncing
from Georgetown at Washington
they revolted and shut the Hilltoppers
out 100; Syracuse U. was lined up
for walloping at the hands Of the
Cornhusker invaders from Nebraska,
the New York collegans COPIED the
contest &c; Middlebury decided they
would not let themselves be any setup
for Tufts and beat them 60; Washing
ton and Jefferson topped the suppos-
eddy impregnable Lafayette eleven IA
10; and it remained for the Garnet
warriors from Bates to smear the
three-year clean slate of the Mass
achusetts Aggies 60.
Though the Cony-Hi -Waterville
game was an exceedingly scrappy con-
tiict, there were no penalties. Offside
was called several times, but on each
occasion both elevens were guilty of
the same oter-ea gerness in starting
ahead of the ball.
To name the Cony stars of Satur
days game one should take the lineup
and read the names from left end to
right and then around into the back
field. From pivot man "Gramp' Hew-
EFT out to Howell on the left wing and
Frederick on the right, they functioncd
wonderfully.
While Cony was piling up 10 points
more against Waterville High than did
the fast Skowhegan eleven, the latter
were setting up new mark for tho
Cony sriddcrs to shoot at by buryirg
Gardiner High 400.
One of the best crowds of the sea-
son was on hand at Capital Park Sat
urday afternoon. The Waterville
squad had some real backing in the
live cheering section and school band
that came onto the field of battle in
formation behind a monster 'SNatcr-
Vile" banner. The squad was a classy
outfit itself with each man wearing
a big purple blanket with white wv
superimposed.
With her great total OF 312 points
to her opponents row of goose eggs,
Skowhegan High schools team may
we'll be dubbed the point minute
eleven" of the Maine high schools.
Speaking of cheers, we can recall the
yell for which Cony was famous as it
was not so many years ago:
CO, Rah Rah, Ny. Rah Rah,
C-O-N-Y, Co.ny, Rah Rah
Chizzle While, Chizzle Wizzlo
Sis Boom Bah!
Cony High, Cony High,
Rah. Rah! Fah!
We do not know which was first, the
famous old Cony yell or Chizzle Wizzle
Fair, but they were certainly akin to
each other. Perhaps it is the present
day garbled corruption that has lost
the pep and punch and made the high
schools cheering section so wocfully
weak in their efforts to get it across
last Saturday.
