S. \. S. DEFEATS ITS
STONY RIVAL
Football Team Wen Second Game OF
Season Mt Fairyiew Park Saturday
Last

Skowhegan High School fooaball
team won its second game of the
season when 1t defeated its stony
rival Cony, by the scant margin of
one point. Cony upset the boys OF
Skowhegan by picking up a tumble
due to a misunderstanding between
Cole and Stinchfield and ran for a
touchdown. Luckily for Skowhegan
the Cony boys failed 40 kick the point.
This unexpected touchdown unset
tied the boys here at home and al
though keeping the Cony boys from
the goal line, were unable to pass
the last line The first half ended
with a score of 60 in favor of Cony.
Coming into the second half the
Skowhegan boys determined to over
come the lead, received the kickoff
and Immediately started their rushing
machine and although stalled by
penalty once or twice, finally carried
1t over; then Bill Cole kicked them in
to the lead by margin of one point.
After this the game was a defen-
sive one on abe part of Skowhegan
and Cony was kept at safe distance
from the goal line. In the final
moments Cony tried several passes
but completed none. Both teams
were weak in offensive play. but
stronger in their defence.
The Skowhegan team was crippled
the previous week by the loss of Les
sard, Dionne and Carpenter from the
backfield. These boys had been
groomed during the first two weeks
of practice so that their loss was
keenly felt in the Skowhegan often
sive power. However Stinchfield and
Murray, the latter tackle by trade
showed that after more practice the
backfield problem will be solved.
Captain Applebee and McAllister in
the line and Murray in the backfeld,
starred for Skowhegan, while Nc
Aulley Burns and Leavitt starred for
Cony The following is the lineup:
