Especial to the .Kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Me-, Dec. 4-The Wat
erville high football team had a
somewhat unusual season. A casual
observer OF the list Of the games won
and lost might say that it had been
a poor season but those who know
the calibre of the Maine Central In
stitute and Bangor high aggregations
realize that Bullet Hendricks turned
out a pretty good eleven after all.
The first game of the season was
between w. Fl. S. and NJ. G. l. and
the result was a 60 victory for Wa
terville. Fans were predicting about
this time that the Elm city school
was going to turn out another win
ming aggregation for the year be-
fore they went the whole season with
only one defeat.
Over confident by their win from
NJ. C. I. the boys went to Gardiner
with the odds three to one in their
favor. The Gardiner eleven romped
across the goal line in the first 80
seconds of the game with a kickoff
play and kicked the goal. Waterville
scored touchdown but did not kick
the extra point which cost them the
game.
On October 2 the boys in company
with Bullet went to Portland for
their first over night trip of a Wat
erville high football team. The next
morning they Went to Saco where
they lost to Thornton academy 20 to
0. On the face of the score this look
ed like bad defeat but Thornton's
team was rated as about the best In
the state and TNaterville made as

other high school. This proved a bad
game for Waterville's hopes, howev-
err, as Hurd, the left tackle sustain
ed a broken arm which put him out
of the game for the season. Fortu-
nately Hurd was only Junior and
he returns this next season to cap
tain the Waterville high eleven. The
loss of Hurd weakened the morale OF
the team somewhat. Incidentally Wa
terville scored two touchdowns on
Thornton which We're not allowed by
technicalities of the game but it
showed the fans that Thornton was
not invincible.
On October II the Waterville and
Winslow high schools battled to, a
scoreless tie This was considered
the premier school football game in
Watervile this fall and it came up
to all expectations. The Winslow
team had tied the fast Cony aggre-
cation earlier in the season.
Speaking of the Cony- Waterville
game Coach Hendricks said that they
were simply outclassed. Three first
string men were not in that game due
either to injury or scholarship.
Waterville turned the dope bucket
upside down on Ocotber rs in Wat

Hendricks men to the tune of 1873.
Waterville went in the Under dog but

Steps taken by the government to

farmers of the Northwest. the

the existing tariff law.
The benefits of the tariff were
particularly emphasized. the Presi-
