Football Craze
Oyerspreads Germany

Heidelberg, Germany, Sept. 80 GA.
p. by MaiD-Many buildings in Ger
many which prior to 1914 were used
for making implements of war, am
munition or devoted to turning out
supplies for the army, are now manu-
featuring sporting articles for the
various games which are more
popular today than at any other time
in Germany's history. The craze
for out door sports has reached
proportions never dreamed of in pre-
war days.
Football formerly considere1 by
Germans as being too rough. has be-
come one of the most popular games
among school boys and college men.
Every small town now has its ath-
letic union, including foot ball
team, and meets are held regularly
all summer and most of the winter.
The passion for out door sports has
even invaded the country districts,
and the Youngsters OF the peasant
village much prefer hand ball or foot
racing to helping their parents in the
fields.
The sport rage is attributed to the
campaign launched in 1919 for the
amusement of the thousands of
young men who in former times
spent years in Germany's big army.
Today the newspapers devote pages
and sections exclusively for sports,
and there are many sporting Jour
nails in Berlin and other cities. Ten
mis- is PLAYED extensively, but foot
ball has made such rapid strides
that even the experts cannot ac-
count for its growing popularity. and
the factories are working overtime
endeavoring to supply the unpre-
cedented demand for 'pigskins.'

C0NY Will MEET
Ed W AR D LITTLE
HIGH AT z TODAY

Regardless of weather conditions,
Cony High of this city will clash
with Edward Little High school of
Auburn today on the football field.
If the sun comes out and the field
dries up the game will start at two
o'clock this afternoon on Ruel Will
Jams field. If it does not the game
will start at the same time at Capital
Park.
1t seems now from comparative
scores that the game should be a
lose one. Edward Little won from
Portland High by a score of II to
). and was in turn trimmed by
Morse High 6 to 3. Lewiston High
school has also won from the Ed
ward Little boys. Cony and Morse
oattled to 0 to 0 draw at Morse
few weeks ago and it would seem
hat the Edward Little aggregation
will make things lively for the Cony
boys.
Jack" McDonough will referee the
game it is understood that Carroll of
lewiston will probably umpire and
Herbert Folsom of this city will be
he head linesman.
The Cony lineup for today will be:

The Maine members of the COM

They believed thai no consolidation

consolidation any remedy for the ex-

President Todd of the Bangor and
Aroostook Railroad in which he
stated that he would be unable to
attend the meeting, as he was max

rectors of the road. He stated that
he favored the so-called .StorroW

the Maine committee.
Governor Baxter Not Present
A letter was read from Governor
Baxter in which he said that he
would not be able to attend as he
would be out of the state attending
the annual conference of Governors
held in Indiana. II am deeply in

will do whatever is in my power 10
help bring about it's proper solu-

Maine COMMITTEE Not Enthusiastic
Attention was called by some of
the opponents of the Storrow plan
to the following official statement
OF the Maine committee which was
appended to the report of the Joint
New England railroad committees
on the Interstate Commerce Com
mission hearings in Boston.
we concur in the findings and
conclusions of the report in respect
TO the choice between proposed
plans of railroad consolidation, if
some form of consolidation be re-

TO state that in our judgement the
interests of Maine would be affected

city. IN 1872 his uldeIeated team was
victor over Yale. N7rve,d, and Chicago.
A close line is the first and funda-
mental point of offensive football. 1t
is impossible to start an attack with
the defense sitting through and at
lacking the runner before plays start.
This will happen unless the offensive
line plays close. The offensive line
man should assume a position so
that his weight is well distributed
and he should not play high, nor
should he bury his head in the
ground so as not to be able to see
where he is going. Quick starting is
the secret of a successful offensive
line, and as the defense can use their
hands, the offensive line must be in
position to get the jump by start
ing a trifle quicker and harder.
