Kents Hill, Me, Nov. 7.-On Sat
urday the Kcnt's Hill eleven plays
its big home game of the season
with the squad from Coburn Clas-
steal Institute. During the past
week the team has had two stiff

moved him at once from his old
place at center to half-back. Omen
is playing again at quarter, where
his gcncralship and personality, as
we'll as playing ability make him a
valuable leader. Both these players
have lost considerable practice be
cause Of injuries, but are in good
condition for saturday. Mcclellan at
guard is alert, intelligent and
powerful. and is never injured.
Two others who might be Classcd
rs veterans are Dave Allen, who
was not a regular. hut won his letter

two years ago. Allen plays ends in a
steady. dependable fashion, and
Skillings is a quick stoCky sub

take the bumps; he can also call

whose previous experience has been
in the line. is establishing n rcputa
ton for making short hard gains
through the line; and Johnson who
like NuSSriCkel comes from MaSSa b
Chusetts. is developing into re
liable and valuable all around half
back.
In the line. the work OF the trio
from Portland speaks for itself.

The team is going into the game
