OFFERS TO PROVE
MAYFLOWER'S LOAD
CARRYING CAPACITY

Boston, Sept. Is - An offer to
prove to the Nova Scotia trustees of
the international fishing race trophy
that the schooner Mayffower has a
greater useful load carrying capacity
than any other two-sticker in the
American feet and to change any
details of her rig that are a depart
ure from previous fisherman prac-
tise was made today in a telegram
sent by Startling Burgess, designer Of
the schooner. The Mayf1ower was
barred again yesterday by the trus-
tees from competition for the cup and
the American race committee will
meet tonight to consider action.
II am bittrely disappointed with
your committees decision in barring
the Mayflower' he wired. Il note
that you discovered nothing in my
design contravening the deed of gift
but base your adverse findings on the
two matters of her carrying capacity
and the somewhat unusual details of
her rig 1 cannot help coming to the
conclusion that the actual figures of
her displacement and useful carrying
capacity are not IdIlllldI W SouI CoiIl-
mittee.
'If I can prove to your commit
tees satisfaction that the Mayflow-
ers useful load carrying capacity is
actually in excess Of that of any two
masted fishing vessel in the Ameri-
can fleet and if l can further agree
on behalf Of her owners to change all
details Of her rig that are in any way
a departure from fisherman practice
will your committee reconsider it's
decision If so shall be glad to go
to Halifax Immediately and lay en-
tire matter before you"

WILL MEET
kENT'S HILL SEM,
ON THE CR|DIR0N

With the election of "Binks" HeW-
ms as Cony High football manager
the plans for a successful season are
rapidly nearing completion. Frank
Hewins, Jr., or "Binks as he is better
known, was assistant manager Of
football last year. the other assistant
manager being William Viles. AS
Viles has gone to Andover Hewins
was elected by action of last years
student council the new student
council having not yet been organ
lied.
The schedule for the season is al
most complete, there being but one
open date. Ten letters have been
sent out to different strong schools in
this and neighboring states. for a
game to fill this date. Coach Thomp
son said that as the season was so
close when the schedule was COM
pleted, the school had accepted a
game with prep school, kent's Hill,
a thing which they seldom did. The
schedule however is a hard one and
will make the Cony boys play SUI
perior brand of football if they come
through with a clean slate.
The schedule is as follows:
Sept. 23-Morse High at Augusta.
Sept. 30-Kent's Hill at Augusta.
Oct. 7-Lewiston at Augusta.
Oct 14-Edward Little at Auburn.
Oct. 21-Abbott School at Farm
ington (pending).
Oct. 2S-Open.
Nov. 4-Waterville at Augusta.
Nov. 11-Gardiner at Augusta.
The one open date should be filled
with a strong team as letters are
now out to such teams as Concord,
South Portland and although no ans
wer has as yet been received it
seems as if there would surely be a
game in the ten letters out.
Coach Thompson said last night
that the game with Lewiston would
be the hardest one of the season in
all probability. The Cony boys will
be up against a strong aggregation
any they will have their work cut out
for them.
Practice is going finely now. There
are IOuT Iui tedIuS Jul anu al a. 2
working hard for the success Of the
varsity" and of the school. Friday
for the first time the boys went
through short scrimmage taking to
it like ducks to water. Coach
Thompson picked out tentative first
and second teams for this scrimmage
and although it is yet early to tell
what material there is to be used, he
seemed perfectly stisfied that he
could turn out first class eleven.
The lineup for the first team was
as follows: Roderick, re; Knowles,
TT; Folsom, rg; Sewell Austin, c;
Herin, lg; Hewitt, It; Boyd, lie; Far
rington, OBJ; Burns rh; Lee Austin.
fb; Poor, In.
The second team lined up against
the first team as follows: Caswell, re;
Hughes, TT; Yeaton, rg; Leavitt, c;
Gregoire, lg; Howell, It. Merrill, lie;
Hayden, OBJ; Lapidus, rh; McCauley,
fb; Gardner III.
The field was slippery and the boys
worked easily, more for signal prac-
tice than for anything else. The first
team as picked proved too strong for
the other and could gain at will. The
practice from now on will be of a
more gruelling nature than previously
and the boys will be worked hard so
that they can enter the game with
minds quickened to the signals and
bodies hardened to the shock.
