u. S. Soccer Team
Wins l to @ Over
EsthOnian Team

Paris, May 25-(By A. P.)-The
American soccer football team to-
day defeated the Esthonian team by
a score of / to in the olympic con-
test.
Italy defeated Spain 1 to 0; Swift
zerland won from Lithuania and o
and Czechoslovallia was victorious
over Turkey by a score of 5 to 2.
The score in the 1taiy-Spain
match came just before half time.
1t occurred when the Spanish right
back in trying to clear the goal put
the ball into his own net, thus giving
Italy the score.
The American team had great diff
ficulty in defeating the Esthonians
and were considered by the specta-
tors as having been lucky to win as
the EsthonianS outplayed them dur
ing the greater part of the time. The
result of the 1taly-Spain match
proved a great upset, as the Spanish
team was the favorite and generally
had been regarded as likely to reach
the semi-finals.'
The only score in the United
States Esthonia contest came after a
penalty kick, Stradan. the American
center forward, beating Lass, the
Esthonian ,goalkeeper, with a shot
which could not be stopped, after the
play had proceeded only ten minutes
in the first half. There was no fur
Their scoring throughout the entire
match. although the Esthonians
dominated the play throughout the
second period, threatening the
American goal time and time again,
only to shoot bailey or to be called
back after offside play at the mouth
of the goal.

W. H. S. ATHLETES
FINISH SEASONS
WORK THIS WEEK
(Special to- Kennebec Journal)


Three tennis games, two baseball
games. aid one track meet is the
program for the Waterville high
school athletic teams this week. This
week will also end the athletic year
for these teams. Taking every thing
into consideration the athletic teams
Of Waterville high have been very
successful during the year of 1928
"a.
The tennis game scheduled for last
Saturday between Waterville and
Cony was postponed because of wet
grounds until today. On Wednesday
the tennis team will play return
game with Cony at Augusta. These
two g.nes mean much to each team
so no effort will be spared to win
them. On Saturday the tennis team
will play it's last gan-S of the season
with Newport high at Newport. This
should be an easy game for the Wat
erville team. Earlier in the season
the local boys gave Newport a 80
beating. During the meantime the
Newport team has engaged in only
one match while the Elm City boys
have been playing two games a week.
The team included three seniors and
they are determined to end the year
right.
One of the hardest games of the
season for the baseball team will be
played Wednesday when the Water
Vile boys cross bats with the Wins
low boys. This will be some battle
as both teams have had excellent
seasons. The Winslow team is noted
for it's sluggers but they have faced
no .itcher of the ability Of the Wat
erville captain. 1t is the opinion of
some that the Waterville battery
will be enough 70 win the battle. The
Waterville boys should win by COM
pairing scores as they beat Skowhe-
gan while The Winslow boys were
satisfied to take a defeat. On Sat-
urday the team will go to Hartland to
play it's last game of the season.
Not much has been heard from this
latter team. Coach Hendricks will
start McMullen in the box for the
Waterville team.
Also on Saturday the track team
will finish it's first season by dual
meet with NJ. c. !. at Pittsfeld. The
latter team gave Bangor high bad
scare last Saturday ard ought to
prove hard for the local boys. The
Waterville cam did as well as could
be expected in the Colby meet last
Saturday. They have many promis-
ing men and next year the Waterville
team will be formidable opponent Tor
the best of the state.
