Both teams gained less than 50

to a touchdown. Then the local pig

last half played all around the visit
| ing players. The final score was
| 100.
For the first two minutes things
looked pretty even. Skowhegan
kicked off and after bucking the
line for three downs Waterville
punted. Then things began to hap
pen. Down the field marched Show

went to Watervillcs five-yard line.

and ran back 20 yards. After three
rushcs Donovan again puntcd. Di-

bucks and on the third play Dionne
took the ball and got away with a
clear field for 40-yard run to a
touchdown. The drop kick was
blocked. In the last part of the
period Waterville made two first
downs.
Skowhegan started another march
through Waterville in the second
quarter. but this time, several off side
penalties kept them from crossing
the Waterville goal line, although it
looked bright for another score when
Mullin broke through for 10 yards.
The half ended with the ball in mid
field, Skowhegan trying out some
forwards that were unsuccessful.
In the second half Michaud got off
n nice kick and after three rushes
Dionne punted. Now it was Water
ville'S> turn to romp across the 10
yard strips and the local rooters
were calling wildly for a touchdown.
Down the field went the ball to the
Skowhegan Vineyard mark, but there
it stopped and Skowhegan gained
the oval on downs. The last part
of the fourth quarter the Skowhegan
boys started making first downs
again and went 40 yards without any
opposition, but costly tumble al
though recovered by Mullin spoiled
their chances for another score.
The game was a rough one all the
way through. Play after play would
find a Watervile man stretched out
on the field. Clapprood and Provost

sustaining injuries about the head.

the purchasing power of the dollar
falls but when prices go down the
purchasing power increases.
That the dollar ever will return TO
it's prewar purchasing power is re
garded as extremely unlikely, at least
for the next few years.
The purchasing power OF the coin
rose in 1914 and started on the de-
scent to it's present low level in the
following year. This decline was
sharp until 1917. Then it slowed up
and the rate OF decline was less
swift.
In 1920 and 1921 prices began to
fall and the purchasing power of the
dollar rose to 20 cents. In the latter
part of 1921 prices steadied and
then began to mount slowly.

1t has become an axiom that sue
cessful defensive line play depends
upon the sharp aggressive use of
hands while breaking through. The
offensive line at the point OF attack
charges ahead, seeking to make con-
tact with the shoulder against the
body of defensive lineman. The de-
fensive lineman, with his legs held
like those in positions similar to
those of the wrestler avoids the
charge by striking the opponent
aside. at the same time stepping
through into the play. The sharp.
aggressive striking with the hands in
the effort to break through is the es-
sential characteristic of the good de-
fensive lineman. The good defen-
sive lineman must also be able,
when he finds himself at the point
of the play, to get quickly to the
ground, spilling the play by taking
out as many legs as possible.
