remaining game on the schedule CO.
burn will get down to work again to-
day to prepare for the final clash with
Hebron which will take place on
Garcelon Fisld. Lewiston.
The team came out of the hard bat
tie in fairly good shape although sew
eral Of the men received injuries that
will have to be watched closely for
few days. Quill Adams the big tackle
received quite a wrench in his back
which necessitated his remaining in
bed yesterday but he will be ready for
Saturdays game. Jack Burnham tore
ligament in his shoulder and he will
90 light on work until 1t heels. These
with several minor bruises were the
only casualties received By the men
in what was termed by all Of the
players the hardest game Of the sea-
son.
The way that the Hainesmen per-
formed Saturday was treat to the
eyes of all that were present. The
offensive was the best Of the year with
Weston resorting mostly to straight
football. Three passes were attempt
ed and one was completed. On this
occasion Weston received a short pass
from Shanahan ard ran sixty yards
for a score only to be called back on
an out Of bounds ruling. Several Co.
burn men were called back for the
same offense which was due to the
marking Of the Held. The side line
, was marked rather dimly and several
feet outside Of this line was another
evidently used for foul-line in base
ball season. The latter lire was
marked much brighter than the real
| boundary and caused the Ceburn men
to think that the foul-lfre was the
gridron boundary.
The game was raplets with thrills
and was anything but dull throughout.
| Once kents IIfll punted to Captain
| Shanahan who received the ball on his
own thirty yard line and headed by
quickly forming interference tore
down the sideline for a touchdown
only to be called back because of
clipping from behind by Ceburn
back SO it may be seen that Ceburn
really should have had at least two
more touchdowns than the final score
| indicated.
| Never was the ball inside Of CO.
burns thirty ward line, a scare was
| thrown into the Coburn ranks once
| when Kents Hill received punt at
inidffeld and started march to the
Coburn thirty yard marker. Tis was
all on straight line plunging by the
powerful Nusspiclle and Johnson, but
with a first down and the ball in a
good position to score the Coburn line
stiffened and held the Hilltoppers fol
downs
! This was the closest that Kents Hill
came to scoring. On the other hand
Coburn played punting game until
she was beyond midfield then opened
up the attack and pushed the Red. and
Gray warriors right back.

great holes for the backs. most o.
