Especial to the Kennebec Journal
watervllle. Me-, Dec. 1o-After
completing a successful schedule this
fall the Coburn fans are looking for
ward to next years prospects. The
ma jority of the letter men will grad
uate. There will be four veterans
this year who will be avail
able and around whom Coach
Haines will build his team. They are
Bill Druehl, Joe Martoski, Bull
Coffin and Pete Averka. The entire
backfield will be lost by graduation
and 1t is this question that will worry
the Crimson and Gold mentor most.
In the passing of Shanahan and
Weston, Coburn loses two of the best
carriers that ever represented the
school and their shoes will be hard to
fill.
However with a strong line coach
can be reasonably certain of having
a successful aggregation and with
the four men mentioned above for a
nucleus, the chances are good for Il
winning team. There are some good
men returning next year who did not
make their letters but who should
prove to be valuable players with the
experience of this season. Among
them are, Norbury, guard who
showed that he had great possilfli-
ties this season although he was
playing his first year of football;
Ryan. a likely choice for the quarter
back berth: Nichols. a halfback with
plenty of speed and good right toe;
Lancaster. who will be Il brilliant
lineman with little more know
ledge of the game; and Pichnarcik
another slippery halfback who
lacked only weight this fail.
+ No schedule has been made ont vet
hut Coach Haines plans to play one
On two Massachusetts teams next fall
as he feels certain that Coburn
teams are fully az good as the prep
school outfits in the Bay State. No
captain for the 1925 team has been
elected as yet but it is rlmorcd
that the, election will be held soon
after Christmas. Druehl ami Marto=
ski are the. two most likely c"ndi-
Oates for the leadership.

both of waterville. Lewis had
slight shade throughout.
The second bout was between Bat
Ting Quiron of Winslow and *. ..
l.iberte of Waterville. which ended in
a draw. The fight was slow. caused
by hugging anu poor lighting. OUR
ion led in the early rounds of the fight
but was beaten in the latter.
The best bout of the evening took
place when Pudagee Butler of Water
vill- battled Larry Walsh of Dexter.
Every minute of the bout was filled
with action and was greatly appreci-
ated by the small crowd. Butler was
greatly outweighed but This proved
no hindnance.' A left To the face sent
Walsh to the floor in the first round.
From this point on the fight was all
Buffers.
Eayo MAYO of Lewiston was taken
sick and the big bout Of the evening
was cancelled. He was to fight Lang

Team Without Capt.
As Well as Coach
Especial to .Kennebec JournaD

Especial to kennebec JournaD
Hebron. Dec. 10-The Big Green
Puck men are not only without
coach. but also without a leader. Carl
Waterson of st. Stephens. y. B., is
the only veteran from last years
sextette, and the logical choice for
the captaincy. Waterson is a fine
hockey man. and he played center
and wing for Hebron last year.
There f. but a week and half
before the Christmas recess and
hockey practice will not get under
way in earnest until January 9th at
which time the Winter term opens.
The fact that Hebron is without
coach and that practice is withheld
Is due TO the rink being uncompletei.
The new enclosed rink will he ready
when school opens and the Hebron
ians win then take to the ice in
earnest under the supervision Of
new coach.

What sort of face should a
wooden club have to insure
best results to an average

bulged, fiat or concave? Should
the face be large or small
And should it be made Of wood

Why?

up Metropolitan Open, 1922. 20, "a.
think the face OF a wooden club
Should be straight for the average

Il also advantageous. The wood
hsed for wooden heads Is made of

MRS. FERGUSON IS
 CHOSEN GOVERNOR
First Woman Executive Of Any
 State Named in Texas
By The Associated Press.

By INe ASSofldtEu lTehs.
 Dallas, Texas, Nov. 5.-For the first time in history, Texas elected woman. Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson. governor yesterday. Distinction of having a woman chief executive officer may be shared with Wyoming however, where Mrs. Nellie Ross was a candidate for governor.
 Both are democrats and the hus- bands of both had been governors of their respective states.
 Mrs Ferguson, generally was call ed Ma" by reason of her initials. Her opponent was pr. George c. Butte, republican.
 Mrs, Ferguson went through three bitter campaigns, not from a desire to hold office, but in an effort to vindicate the Ferguson familf name. Her husband, James E. Ferguson. was lmpeached when gov ernor and was unable to get his name on the ballots as candidate. She had to survive two primaries and the final election 10 win.
 Her opponents charged that if Mrs Ferguson was elected her husband actually would be governor. The charge was denied vigorously.
 During most of the campaigns Mrs. Ferguson remained in Temple caring for her home and doing her accustomed household work, She is the mother of two daughters, one of whom is married and lives in Aus tin. She has one grandson. Her neighbors acclaimed her election last night escorting her from a news paper office to her home.
