Hebron. Oct. 24.-Boils, the bug

a player rs he is certain to favor the
painful portion. 1t is tribute TO
the Big Green" system that there
has not been Il single man bothered
with the nuisanccs this season. The
squads practice in sweat shirts dur
ing the week; the varsity wearing
white. and the scrubs, red shirts. On
Friday, the day before games, the
sweat shirts are collected and
washed. All the shirts are num-
bercd with green numerals, assur-
ing the return of the same article of
clothing TO each player. The jerseys
are issued the day of the gam, and
collected directly after the contest.
They are. then washed and are ready
for the next Saturdays fray. The
Hebron jerseys are green, with white
numerals. Coach Dyer believes that
it adds pep to team to have them
clad in clean. well-feeling costumes.
The socks which the players wear
are white wool, to guard from poi
soning from poor dye, and the green
stockings have simply an ankle
strap. Both are washed after each
game, and dried over the weekend.

ed that from now on much time will
be devoted by the Thornton mentor

Thornton would have the edge in the
kicking department.
Lombard. the Saco schools star

very few equals in Maine scholastic
football ranks as broken field run
