COBURN Confident
IN CLASH TODAY
WITH KENT'S HILL
Especial to the Kennebec JournaD

(SpeCldI 10 the l\enneOeC JOutnal)
Waterville, Nov. 7-Tomorrow
marks the biggest day IN the Coburn
schedule when the big Crimson and
Gold outfit journeys to Readfield to
meet the Kents Hill team. From a
Coburn standpoint it means that on
ly victory can be satisfactory
while from a kentS lIill point of view
the same is true. Both teams are
fighting for a chance ut the cham
pionship and it is Kents Hills last
chance, as they have been defeated
by Hebron. Coburn has neither been
defeated nor scored on in five games
and has been picked 10 win because
of the IS TO q victory over West
brook
1t might be said that Cohurn can
afford to lose and still nave Il chance
at the penant by defeating Hebron.
However no team in this state prep
school series can afford to lose Il
game and still claim championship
honors. This has been displayed on
more than one occasion when team
has suffered a defeat and otherwise
been successful rival team will lay
claim to a tie for top aOnors
To avoid any of this confusion Co
burn will travel TO the Hill today
with the determination of licking the
Red and Gray md also to keep her
goal line clean. This IS quite an I'M
dertaking in view Of The fact that
kentS Hill has Il powerful eleven and
is full of fight. Only ;hree points
have been scored on GraySon's men
and they have meet practically the
same teams that Coburn has. Kents
Il e. 4
early season while Coburn could only
defeat the SAME outfit Il to 0 on a
cool day that Was just right for foot
ball.
SO from past performances 1t
would appear that the two teams
were about even. Only an expert
could pick the winner and he would
nave plenty of COURAGE. But from
seeing both teams in action it would
appear as though Coburn was at
least two touchdowns better than
kents Hill. Coburn has the drive
and snap Of n first class team. she
has the material Keats Hill on the
other hand is slow starting team
that needs at least one touchdown on
its side of the field in order to hit on
high.
Cohurn will have the strongest team
