Twice TRUMP liant, FAST SOMERSET CRIDDERs
ARE GUESTS OF CONy At WILLIAMS field today
Lineup for Today's Game
.SKOWHEGA

With the cheers of over five hun
Gred enthusiastic students still ring
ing in their ears, fighting Cony
eleven will meet Skowhegan High this
afternoon at go at Williams Field.
Twice in as many years Cony High
football team has put forth her best
efforts against the orange clad in
vaders and twice the SkowheGan grid
warriors have taken home the
becon, by small scores each time, but
nevertheless a victory.
The Skowhegan team, generally
conceded to be the class of Somerset
county, has been so successful in its
games with the local school that a
win from the upriver outfit has come
to be second only to the Gardiner
game in Importance on the Cony
schedule. The visitors this year are
led by Otis Johnson, and are coached
by Archie Dostie, who was guiding
the destinies of the SkoWhegan foot
ball teams that twice took Cony S
measure. johnson is a former Cony
lad and a win over his old school
would be a feather in the Somerset
boys cap.
game today the entire student body
turned out on Williams Field yester-
day afternoon for a rouSing rally.
Howard stiles called several speak
ers to the fore, including Captain
McAuley, Manager Lee, Principal
Perkins, Hon. Frank harrington and
a few others and the general theme
of every speech was to win the
game but win in a clean and sports
manlike manner.
Coach Pierce was puzzled when he
attempted to give a lineup for the
game today and finally named the
boys above to start but at the same
time stated that Cloutier, Fletcher,
Ellis, Gilmore, Lishness and Worth
ing We're practically sure of being
placed in the lineup before the game
ends.
The team this year looks like n
championship prospect and the ma
terial is exceptionally promising so
the task of picking eleven men from
the large number of candidates is a
difficult proposition.
Little is known of the Skowhegan
team as whole Cronkhite, Lewia
and Johnson are capable of putting
forth a sterling game, while the rest
of the team, being green, is an I'M
known quantity. The up river aS-
gregation has been moderated in
times past but Cony is not apt to
make the same mistake this year.
They know that Coach Dostie with
any promising material at all to work
with will produce team that will
cause them all enough to worry
about. The wearers of the orange
and black rather decisively trampleG
on Camden last week but win have
to vary from their straight football
to score on the local eleven.
The Cony team plays a fast and
consistent game with an attack that
is not confined to straight football.
When stopped in line plunges they
have the goods to put forth varied
attack both in tricky plays on the
ground and versatile air attack.
On paper both teams are winners
from last Saturday both teams are
plentifully besprinkleds with green
men and both teams will trot on the
field with a reputation of being able
to produce the goods in a pinch.
Whichever way the game turns
out there should be a battle royal on
the part of both teams to remain in
the undefeated class and the friendly
rivalry between tie two schools
should result in one of the best
games of the year in this section.
