Especial to Kennebec JournaD
Hebron, Me-, Jan. 19.-The Hebron
Hockey team received a severe blow

men on the first team. through a
faculty ruling. The whole row was
started in South Paris last Saturday
night, when the team was returning
from a road trip on which they
played Dartmouth Freshmen. and
Berlin High school. The boys were
attending a movie at the South Paris
Opera House, and although they
caused no serious disorder, their
noise was objected to, and when one
of their number was requested to
leave with the sheriff, the whole body
left. Reports were phoned in to
Headmaster Hunt, and after due con-
sideration, he called the sheriff to
Hebron to identify the ring-leaders.
1t happened that the sheriff picked
out four boys, and of these four boys,
two were entirely innocent of even
any loud talking.
However, all Of these, except Naz-
no, and Russell Harrington. may be
able to play in the home games. but
will not be able to leave Hebron for
the entire term. Nazro and Harring-
ton are on room detention. hence,
their misfortune concerning home
games.
It is hoped that no other serious
outcome, as having the boys leave
school, will come, and that the mat

possible.
