Russ Jones the acrObatic skater of
the New York Hippodrome gave one
OF the finest exhibitions Of fancy
skating ever seen in this city. He
seemed possessed with wings so
lightly did he slide over the surface
of the ice, or float above it. Seem

Tho M'atcrvillc Hockey team won
from Augusta in a very close same
by Il score Of ) TO /. The score docs
not 90 justice to the game as the
Augusta boys played 4 Very fine game
ana the shooting Of .Arsenault. the
Watervillc captain. WAS the nit ans
of winning the game. Arscnault shot
all five OF the visitors goals and it
happened that Percy Jarvis. the .Au-
guSta captain, scored Augustus lone
point.
In the first period, Arscnauit
slipped one through *. Jarvis, the
Augusta goal. but Watcrville was I'M
able to net another nor was Augusta
able to even things up. This per
iOd was very close and was watched
with great interest by a large crowd
Of spectators.
During the intermiss;on between
the first and sccoad periods. now
ever, the crowd began to thin out De-
cause of the cold and when the
whistle blew for the second period,
at least half the crowd had vanished.
In this period the Augusta boys
played an exceptionally fast game
They out played the visitors slight
~ but neither side was able to slide
the rubber into the net for another
goal.
In the final period. the Augusta
boys seemed to have spent themselves
in the second and they could not keep
ZIP with the Waterville team.
Through fine team work by the Wa
terville wings and center Arsenault
was able to score three on shots from
pass-backs. and his own brilliant
individual playing was responsible
for the fourth goal in this period.
Arsenault's shots were we'll placed
and very accurate and they made
the goal position on the Augusta
team a warm place to hold down.
Ken Jarvis played wonderful game
for Augusta, stopping them time and
time again, by almost super human
effort.

Haines and Paganucci. the defenses,
put Il pa strong defensive game
Percy Jarvis played the best game
for Augusta while Coach Thompson
PLAYED Il whale of a defensive game
The game was one of the finest
exhibitions of the sort that has been
played in this city this year and the
fact that the teams were very evenly
matched made it all the more inter
esting. AS a result of winning this
game the Waterville team takes
back to the up-rivcr city a set of
eight medals which were donated
to the winners by executives of the
Central Maine Power Co.
