ROUSINC RALLY
HELD AT G, \, s. FOR
C0NY BATTLE

A student Of mathematics would
do well to- figure out some scheme
whereby the energy Of Gardiner high
students could be utilized for power
purposes, ard when he succeeded he
would procure all the energy, pep.
enthusiasm and spirit necessary from
q rally such as the one held at Car
diner high last night. Much was said
by the various speakers about the
true Gardiner spirit. and in the opin-
ion OF many there was never a bet
ter exhibition Of this spirit than was
manifest last night.
Harold McGoff. manager of foot
ball. was the presiding officer and
he introduced as the first speaker of
the evening, the man who started
football in Gardiner. and a man who
ever since has taken the keenest in
terest in Gardiner high and it's ath-
letics. namely. DR.. William O.. Cobb.
DIR. Cobb declared athletics, especially
football. were requisites in the mold
ing of true men. He spoke of team
work, explaining its real meaning.
and that 1t was necessary to win
games. He prophesied that Gardiner
high would win because they had the
right spirit, power and determination.
He pointed out the duty of the stu
dents, that they should attend he
game in a body, and stand behind the
team.
Hon. o. B. Clason was then intro
duced, and he prefaced his remarks
by commenting on the previous
speakers football experience, and de-
clared that he was indeed qualified to
deal with the subject in hand. He
gave some very interesting statistics
showing how athletics at Gardiner
high had made good in the business
and professional world. He cited the
case Of the championship baseball
team of 1905. and showed the success
that each member of this team was
making in the world. He declared
that there should be a room at Gardi-
ner high where pictures of teams and
trophies won by them should be ex-
hibited. and said that he would give
picture OF this team of which his
son was member, to that room.
Ralph Stone was introduced as
another friend of Gardiner high, and
he declared that the greatest spirit
for winning team was spirit. He
asked the boys to play q good hard,
clean game and to be good sports
men, and assured them that If they
did this. Gardiner as a city, would be
behind them. win or lose. DIR. w. T.
Pierce informed his audience that he
played on one Of the first teams to
defeat Cony. which was rs years ago
when they went to Augusta and won
700. He gave formula by which
the team could best beat Cony this
year. the same as they did when he

ties for a winning team. speed.
weight and brains. He said that
Gardiner had speed and weight and
that the score today would tell
whether or not they had brains.
Other speakers called upon were
Ferrars Stuber. captain of the 1877
football team, Clyde Wakefield and
Bernard Lucas. Captain Stuber en-
phasized the, need of the moral sup
port of the team. Then Coach Nc
Ginley made his first appearance as
a public speaker and he met with n
reception that almost took the roof
off the building. He said that a
coach could not predict the outcome
of the game, but declared that he
could predict that the Gardiner team
would give everything that they had
physically. mentally and morally for
victory. Principal Taylor was the
final speaker, and said that one OF
the previous speakers had said that
good coaching was necessary for a
winning team, and he pointed out
that the team had certainly had good
coaching by Coach mckinley and
Gardiner high would take defeat be-
fore victory by unfair means.

Celebration Planned

Armistice day in Gardiner will be
a big contrast to the first one cele-
brated six years ago. when the whole
city Joined in n scene OF joy such
as never had been equalled. Today

ment must go to Augusta or some
other city on that day. The Cony-
Gardiner game will be the princi-
pal attraction in the morning and
Il is estimated that there will be
hundreds of Gardiner citizens there
