Has Been Affiliated With Du-
rant and Flint Companies
Since 1914

A recent change In the local
branch of the Locomobile Company,
which will be Of interest to Wash
ingtonians, is the appointment of
Mr.. e. A. Watson as manager. Mr..
Watson has been identified with
the interests of w. c. Durant since
1914, when he organized at Lynch
burg, Va, a company to handle
Chevrolet cars, and has the honor
of having purchased and sold the
first car of that name in the State
of Virginia. He was one of the
sixty.seven men whom Mr.. Durant
invited in 1920 to join with him
in a new automobile company
which he was forming, to be known
as Durant Motors, Inc. Since that
day, he has been actively engaged
with various duties in this fast
growing corporation, which has now
become a world wide affair.
In 1923 Mr.. Watson was appoint
ed branch manager of the Wash
ington Flint Company, also
Durant subsidiary, and in that posi-
ton he built up dealer organiza-
ton extending throughout Virginia
and Maryland. Following that, he
was called to New York for work
with the headquarters organization
Of Durant Motors, Inc.
Mr.. Watson, speaking of recent
visit to the I4ocomobile factory at
Bridgeport, Conn.,, told of "a drive
he took in one Of the new Junior
8 (Jr. 81 cars, which the Locomobile
Company first announced at the
New York Automobile Show. This
car is a straight eight, with
Miller-designed motor built for speed
and rugged durability. The motor
and the chassis design have been
tested for three years under all
kinds of conditions, both on the
speedway and on the open road.
The genius of George r. Daniels,
vice president and general manager
| of the Locomobile Company, long
known as one of the foremost auto
mobile engineers and designers in
the country. has served to incor-
porate in the JR. the most de-
sirable features of racing car, the
substantial qualities necessary for
everyday. use, and a high character
of craftsmanship and body design,
making 1t not only an unusual car
| in speed and durability, but beauti-
full car throughout.

Lawrence High
Holds First Outdoor
Football Practice
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

especial TO henneDec Journal)
Fairfield. Sept. 1S.-First out door
practice for the Lawrence High
grid crew was held on the old field
this afternoon, some 20 aspirants be-
ing in suits. There is probability
that the size of the squad will in
crease during the next few days as
interest in the team is keen, both in
the school and through the town.
The schedule will open a week
from tomorrw when the local team
will invade Madison to play Madi-
son and other games are being ar
ranged which will round out a we'll
balanced season. A tentative date of
October has been agreed upon for
a game with Waterville high.
Scotty Mari had charge of the
team yesterday and the practice con-
sisted of a grass drill, dummy prac-
tice and charging. The session was
closed with a short signal and form
alton work out.
The backfield was made up of
Flood, quarter: Totman and Leven-
sailor, halves and Pooler, fullback.
Pooler is large and heavy and has
much football instinct. He carries
the ball we'll and the offense will
probably be built around him.
AS yet there has been nothing de-
finite done in the formation of the
line but, with the addition of a few
men who are expected to report to-
morrow, it is expected that this af-
ternoon the men can be lined up, at
least tentatively. The practice will
be daily and the long session tomor-
row will begin at 2, sharp.

KENT'S HILL SQUAD
WITH Three VETERANS
OUT FOR PRACTICE

Readfeld, Me, Sept. II. - The
Kent's Hill squad has had five days
of practice on the field and two Gays
workout in the gymnasium on ac-
count Of rain, and as result Coach
Rogers is beginning to get line on
his material.
AS a nucleus for the team Coach
Rogers has Red" Lee Of Portland at
end, Ray Nusspickel of Brighton.
Mass, last years powerful fullback,
and Horne of Berwick at tackle. The
first two of these are already IN toys
and Horne returns as soon as ne nm
ishes his summers work. In addl-
ton to these there are from last years
substitute list Dean of Oak Bluffs,
Mass, whose weight will be an asset
at guard. Roy Black of Rockland,
and Worcester Hilton of Newbury-
port, Mass, as backs. These two lat
ter are compactly built and should
be good in either offense or defense.
For new material the outstanding
Iinemen are Miller, the old South
Portland High center, Randall OF
Wakefield (Mass.) High, Perkins of
Kennebunk, and Lunn of Monmouth.
The contest for end positions rs
likely to be the most interesting, as
Captain Lee will have as running
mates Malcolm Tapley and Stephen
Caspar of Bangor, and Tom Barry or
South Portland.
In the backfield Nusspickel is nat
urally the leading candidate for full
back, with Bernadini of Bar Harbor,
Trumbull of Newburyport, Mass. and
Davis Of Portland making things in
teresting for Black and Hilton. Ma
Dan is at present the most promis-
ing candidate for quarterback be-
cause of his three years experience
at Berlin, n. H. High School, but
Ward of South Portland and knight
of South Paris are both interested
in giving him a run for the place.
There are a number of other candi-
dates who are not quite so conspicu-
Gus at present because of lack of eX-
perience, but show enough promise
to remain on the squad and possibly
make a place son the team in spite
of the slight start their competitors
have over them. Douglas Brown of
Kents Hill, Loveitt and Reeves of
were in school last year and are de-
termined to make a place this year.
New students who are showing en-
ergy and ability are Lindsey of Mon
mouth, Holmes of Natick, Mass,
House of Oak Bluffs, Mass, Eisold Of
Ludlow, Mass, and Marsh of Weeks
Mills.
The general impression of the team
is that it is going to be somewhat
lighter than last year. but will have
sufficient speed to make up for the
slight lack Of weight.
