full improvement during the past
two weeks. For guards Oak Grove
will rely on Williams and Everett.
Both are new to the game this year,
but have quickly mastered the nun
damentals of the game. At tackles
will be found Gregoire and Wallace
Witham. Both are aggressive and
capable of absorbing punishment and
1t viii take a clever offense to con-
sistently run plays through their
positions. Rice and Roger witham
will uphold the ends of the line. Rice
showed the best football Of any end
seen ON the Oak Grove field last Sat-
urday and was in nearly every play,
Witham has been shifted from guard
to end to replace Connolly who will
be ineligible to play Saturday. Rog-
ers Is tall. rangy and fast on his feet
and in addition is the best catcher
Of forwards on the team.
On the sidelines will be found SUBJ
stitutes who will be eager to get in
to the battle and Marsh and Gille,-
pie will probably he given an oppor-
tunity to play during the game. Gill
lespie has put up good bid for the
guard position and the coach may
decide to start him in place Of Ever
EFT on account of his larger size and
weight.

Long Dry Spell
Hard on Farmers
In Waterville Area

Drought conditions in WaterviIle
and vicinity are assuming serious
proportions as the days go by with
no rain. During the past five weeks
there has less than one quarter of an
inch of rain fallen in this section of
the State and the effect on wells and
other sources of water supply de-
pended upon by the farming popu-
lGtion is serious.
Some of the farmers are carr ing
drinking water for use in their
homes and a few even have to carry
water for their livestock. The lakes
and ponds nearby are at an extreme
ly low level but the kennebec river
has not shown the effects of the dry
spell due to the fact that the re-
serves feeding the river were filed
to overlooking during the freShet in
September.
Another difficulty that Is troubling
the farmers In the hardness of the
ground which makes it very hard to
do the fall ploughing. AS it is rea-
sonable to expect n cold spell that
will freeze the ground at any time
this problem is n bothcrsome one.
Yesterday was one of tho hottest
November days ever recorded in the
Nitys tIit iIitithiy ilSlHS W over op
degrees during the warmest part o.
the day. The sun would have shone
brightly but "a thick smoky haze
hung over the city throughout the
day and at times the odor of wood
smoke was in the air. There was
much inquiry and speculation as to
the origin of the smoke but no one
was able to tell just where the fire
was

Waterville Team
Weak as It Goes
To Meet Morse
Especial to the Kennebec

\opeCldI 10 tne hSnneDoC JOufnall
Waterville. Nov. IA weak Wat
erville high school team will journey
to Bath today to meet the strong
Morse high outfit. Waterville will be
minus the services of three of he,
stars. Herd, who has been out for
several games with broken arm,
Will not be available. Sprague, the
scrappy little center, has a broken
nose, sustained in scrimmage. so that
he will be on the sidelines and last Of
all. Wally Donovan. the peer of all
high school backs has been declared
ineligible by the school authorities
because of low rank in his studies.
To say that Waterville has suffer-
ed blow would be putting 1t too
lightly. for regular string Of hard
luck has followed the team all seas
on. Starting off like a house afire
by defeating NJ. c. l., Waterville was
conceded to have a fine team and one
that would come through with flying
colors this season. but the hand OF
fate has interfered and torn the
hopes Of Elm City folks asunder.
Coach Hendricks has no man that
can fill capably any one Of the posi-
lions left open by the loss of these
three men. They are all stars in
tnelT place ana II is nara Tor anyone
to fill their shoes. especially Is this
true in the case of Donovan. He
stands in a class by himself. holding
the position of star that one finds on
nearly every team.
For the fullback position Coach
Hendrick has selected Smith, a young
player with fine possibilities but
lacking in weight and experience. He
has been showing some fine stuff in
practice this past week and will be
in the game for all that he is worth
Pooler, who played such fine
game against Skowhegan last Satur-
day. will again be in the snapper
back position. He Is not the player
that Sprague Is yet he is full of fight
and pep.
The team does not feel that they
can defeat the Morse team but they
will go into the game with the idea
that they are never licked until the
game is over, so everyone is pulling
for win that the boys may know
the results Of hard work and the will
to win. The Waterviile lineup will
, be: lie. Grant: 1t. Butler: lg Knauff;
c. Poo1er: rg McMullen: TT, Capt.

QUAKER CR|DDERS
FACE UP RIVER
RIVALS TODAY
Especial to kennebec JournaD

(Special to kennebec Journa)
Oak Grove, Nov. Much en-
thusiasm has been in evidence at
Oak Grove during the past week in
anticipation of the football game
with NJ. c. l.. to be played in Pitts
field tomorrow. Practically all Of
the students have signified their IN
tentions OF attending and cheering
the team on to victory. Although
no where near equal in size, these
two schools have been close rivals
IN athletics for many years, and
neither school has as yet shown any
marked advantage over the other in
any of the three major sports. 1t
has been the custom each year to
play to games in each sport, but this
year they will meet but once on the
gridiron and each team will put its
every effort into this one game.
The outcome of tomorrow's game
Is hard to predict as there il very
little dope that can be had about
either team. NJ. c. /. has played more
games and against heavier teams
than her down river opponents, and
with her larger enrolment and
heavier squad seems to be the IA
vorite. However, under Coach Man
ter's careful tutoring Oak Grove has
developed a team that knows the
game thoroughly. and its scoring
strength was well demonstrated last
Saturday when the much heavier
boys from Hartland were defeated
by the score of 81 to 13. Being light
the Quaker lads depend on speed for
most of their gains and excel in open
field running. Capt. Hersey, Arnold,
Stockwell and Dexter make up q
backfield quartet that has worked
smoothly and successfully. Captain
Hersey is playing better football this
year than ever before, being espec-
tally brilliant in 1ine-bucking. In
the Hartland game Saturday he was
able to gain consistently through the
heavy Hartland forwards. Although
light, Arnold has done his share of
the work behind the line and has
made many good gains around the
ends and has also qualified as an ex-
pert in receiving forward passes.
Dexter with his size and weight has
been q power both on the defense
and offense, as a line plunger he has
few equals in the schoolboy teams of
the State. Stockwell, the quarter
back has brought the crowds into
feverish excitement on many occas-
ions this fall by his brilliant end
runs and broken field running.
Although M. G. LIS line is much
heavier than that from Oak Grove
yet the Quakers will furnish some
trouble In that department. At GEN.
ter Monteith has played consistently
all the season and has made wonder

Lewiston Pastor
In Powerful Talk
At Baptist Church

Rev. George Finnie OF Lewiston
speaking before a group of Waterville
citizens at the Baptist church last
evening declared that the Christian
church is not fulfilling its whole duty
until II has solved the problem OF
eternal peace. Mr.. Finnie assured his
hearers that he did not take the paci-
fists attitude in the matter but be-
lieved he expressed something that
was the desire OF almost every civil
lied human being.
Professor f. c. Mariner of Colby
college was the presiding officer at the
meeting. Other speakers were Rev. E.
c. Whittemore and Rev. Leopold Haas.
At the beginning of his talk Rev.
Mr.. Finnie declared that no COMPARE
sons can be drawn between the church
and a business establishment. as some
business men seem to wish to do. In
the business. said the speaker the in
efficient can be thrown out and their
places taken by more efficient at the
will Of the employer but this can not
be done in the church. He spoke of
the money spent in his church in
Lewiston last year. several thousand
dollars in all and he declared that no
more good in the way Of religious
education spiritual upliftment and
moral good could be obtained by the
use of money than in the church.
The time Is coming in the opinion
Of Mr.. Fiffnie when some nation will
solve the problem of eternal peace
and he expressed the belief that the
solution would come through humility
even almost to the extinction of that
nation for that is the way that Jesus
went.
\ Rev. Mr.. Finnie spoke OF the great
social liability Of every man and he
said that Of all the things that men
have to deal with at the present time
none are so great as the dealing with
the moral and religious problems
Mr.. Finnie's talk was filled with
witticisms that brought forth laugh
ter and his cryptic way of expressing
his ideas held the attention or ms
listeners every moment.
