Farrineton's Gray Matter
of these boys figuring flashily in

offensive and defensive.
Farrineton's Gray Matter
The greatest halfback in Maine
Nigh schools, Bill" harrington, dis
played that same keen and analytical
strategy, that brought touchdown
to Cony every time she went after
one. His cool passing was breath
taking in its precision, only once in
a half Cozen tries did the aerial at
tempts fail to record long gains. His
own carrying Of the ball was wonder
full and his division of the offensive
punches amongst his companion trio
of backs was well timed. Captain
Lee Austin at fullback played the
game of his career. his rushes and
plunges through the line were de-
gree more than sensational, and as
just an indication Of their success,
the play shows that in the first canto,
he made thirty yards through the
line in two mighty stabs, and then
hurtled over for the third tally OF the
game. Charlie Poor, produced the
goods whenever called upon, in each
and every phrase, and his puntins
was f1awless. He booted five goals
square between the uprights in SIX
tries. Burns played a beautiful
game while he was in the fray, the
tumble in the third period was but
one of the breaks that are bound to
creep into any contest, and resulted
in the score against Cony, because
the Skowhegan Boys were there to
take advantage of the slightest op-
portunity against the ruthless Cony
steam roller. The first year man,
Babe" Lapidus, gave all indication
OF the power that Coach Thompson
has to develop, when most of this
years championship eleven have
taken their parchments.
Skow;,egan Game to the Core
Coach Dostie had fighting squad,
game to the ninth degree, a bunch
of men that had what he would call
"guts" to stand all kinds of gaff. And
their heads high. secure in the
knowledge that they played the
game and have the respect of every
one of the 1000 fans who came all
over central Maine to see the grid
classic.
Dionne's Work Brilliant
Bouford, Lessard, Provost, and
Capt, Dionne are fast quartet of
backs 1t was to Capt. Dionne that
the brunt of the Orange and Blacks
offensive fell. He was flash with
the ball, their most consistent
ground gamer. and ever threat to
the Cony defense. Quarterback
Bouford ran his signals snappily and
we can easily see why they have
buried the up-country high schools
under overwhelming scores.
Cony was exceptionally brilliant in
the spectacular overhead game, all
but one of the Red and White for
ward passes were successful. for q
total gain of close to 100 yards, while
their defense against the aerial
threat was unbeatable In many tries
Skowhegan only completed one at
tempt to get away with 4 pass, and
after 35 yard run this ended in a
tumble that put the ball back into
Cony's hands. Time and again the
Cony ends. and other linemen or
omnipresent backs knocked down
BouforG's passes or intercepted them
for gains.
Vanquished Smile in Defeat
Skowhegan was up against team,
the equal Of which we do not believe
exists in a Maine high school, if in
New England, they were overwhelm-
ingly defeated, but in that defeat
they were as glorious as were the
victors. All honor to the vanquished
as well as to the conquerors, and to
to the SkQwhegan football eleven
goes the individual glory of being
the only team amongst some power
