COburn and Hebron
To Meet in Title
Clash Next Saturday
Especial to Kennebec JournaO

NSpeCIdl 10 AeHIleDeC
Hebron, Me-. Feb. s.-when the re-
suits of the Hebron victory were
'phoned to Hebron last Saturday night
for the benefit of those who were un-
able to attend the game for various
reasons, the town heard as loud a cele-
bration as has been heard at the Ok
ford Hills school for many a day. He
hron would rather beat Kents Hill than
win all the other games. and then lose
to the "Hilltoppers." This victory was
, doubly sweet, as Hebron entered the
game the underdog. Playing under
these conditions makes victory always
more welcome than at other times.
Three mass meetings were held last
week, while Coach Hollis was doing
his best with the squad, and these are
two good reasons for the victory. Peo-
pie outside might have thought that
it was a sure victory for Kents Hill,
but no one could tell this to Hebron
students. Every one of them backed
the team to the limit, and all who
could possibly make the trip went to
Auburn to root for their team.
Little Shorty" Wass of Southwest
Harbor. who has been high scorer in
every game played since the Christ
mas recess, certainly played whale
of game. He stands out as one Of
the best in the State and If he contin-
ues his stellar work there is more than
a chance for Hebron to romp away
with another championship this year.
The victory Saturday night should
give the boys the needed confidence
for the Coburn game next Saturday
night. On account of the recently in
stalled balconies in the Hebron gym a

the game. The team will get the back
ing of the whole student body and the
alumni as never before.
If Hebron should win over Coburn,
and according to all present indica-
lions Hebron has good chance to
win, they should encounter no trouble
In taking the State championship. 1t
seems as If the team has at last found
itself. Capt. Small was the only vet.
eran from last years championship
team. and consequently Coach Hollis
has had quite q battle on his hands,
but he has won and by far the greater
part of the credit for the victory fs
due to his work. There was plenty of
material at the beginning OF the sea-
son. and this has made Coach Hollis
work doub1y hard. He had to weed
out the varsity material and have
them playing together so as to get
used to each other.
The fact that the Hebron Seconds
lost to Kents Hill Seconds does not
damped Hebron's spirit in the least.
They were out to win the first team
game and win they did.
1t is a custom at Hebron whenever
a Hebron team plays away from home
for the coach Of that team to speak on
the game in chapel on the following
Monday morning. In Coach Hollis
talk this morning there was certain
confidence that told that Hebron was
out for Coburn's scalp, and the war
cry at the academy this week will be
Beat Coburn."

CLERKS DEFEAT
PUBLISHERS IN
RUGGED BATTLE

The Vickery and Hill basketball
team is now sharing its first place
as the result of a game played with
the Clerks at the "Y" gym Monday
evening in which the Publishers
came out second best. The v. & H.
quintet jumped into the lead early
in the game and held on to this lead
for two periods of hectic basketball.
In the second half the Publishers
started minus the services of Hinck-
ley, who had received enough per-
sonals to draw a seat on the side
lines. The Clerks then began forg-
ing ahead and at the end of the third
period had v. & H. on the wrong
end of a 1915 tally.
Capt. Hall then went via the four
personal route to join Hinckley and
the Printers played the rest of the
game with four men, although they
were given permission to use one OK
the men who had been put off the
floor but refused and as a result toss
ed away the game with a short hand
ed crew. The final score was IS

Company r. was held even for one
period in their game with the other
company but grabbed three point
lead in the second stanza and were
never ahead. Sprague Of the winners
dropped in five from the floor and
Plummer of the losers gave the crowd
thrill with two long one handed
shots. The score was 1910.
Gannetts took the third game of
the evening from the Post Office, the
work Of Allison being largely In
strumental in putting the East Siders
on the top of 1912 score.
Tho best crowd of the season was
present as the game between the
Clerks would have won the cup for
the Publishers had they won. There
is now a tie for first honors. The

town in his yacht. When some
distance off the shore, he stepped
on a piece of ice on the deck and
was thrown into the water. He
was dressed in heavy clothing,
and wore heavy pair of rubber
boots. He managed to reach the
boat and grasp the gunwale, but
soon became chilled and loosened
his hold and sank into the water
again.
His plight was noticed from the
clubhouse dock at Waretown, and

He was then several feet under
water and sinking. He was car

DR.. Conoyer was summoned
from Barnegat and worked over
him for three hours without effect.
Taylor Wainwright, a friend of
Browns, suggested that they re-

storing breathing and proceeded
to breathe into the nostrils and
mouth of the man.
After about fifteen minutes of
this, Brown began to show signs
of returning.

Mrs. Amieson Defends N. j.
High School Girls-Pro-
poses Beauty Course.
She Also Praises Bob"

Are New Jersey high school
girls painted dolls?
Mrs. Helen Amieson, of Col.
lingswood, helping teacher in the
Camden county schools and an
active worker in the Parent
Teacher Association, resents crit
icism of Jersey school girls, or
girls in general for that matter.
simply because they strive to
make themselves attractive.
Sponsoring a proposal to teach
beauty culture in the State voca-
tional schools, Mrs. Amieson de-
clares that every girl, whether
she attends school or earns her
livelihood, has an inherent right
to make herself as pretty and as
attractive as possible.
But the rising generation of
fiappers should be taught that
beauty and cosmetics are not syn
onymous, she asserts. Hence the
need for teaching beauty culture
in the schools. The idea is said
to have originated with Wesley
O'Leary, State Commissioner of
Education, and to have met with
the approval of the State Board
of Education.
No one had suspected Mrs. Ami
eson of being beauty cult expo
nent until she attended a meeting
of the Camden County Council OF
the Parent Teachers Association
called to discuss recent maya
zine editorial labeled New Jersey
High School Girls as Painted
Dolls" At this meeting, which
was held in the First Presbyteri-
an Church, Merchantville, steps
were taken to demand a retrac-
ton from the writer of the edito-
rial.
1t was at this meeting that Mrs.
Amieson proposed the beauty cul-
ture course in the schools.
Every girl has the right to
make herself as pretty as posi-
ble," asserted Mrs. Amieson. but
added that cosmetics were neither
advisable nor necessary.
There are other ways for
girl to retain her schoolgirl COM
plexion," she explained. eff we
can teach a girl beauty culture
and at the same time show her
how she can make herself attract
i've without the use of cosmetics,
we will be doing a good service"
