This season looks like a banner
one as far as football IL concerned.
The high schools and colleges all
seem to be blessed with plenty OF
veteran material and the result was
some close contests and incidentally
some upsets in the predictions. Bow
doin beat the Boston University
team by a touchdown. The Boston
team has an impressive coaching
staff but the Black and White had
the goods on the field and got away
to an auspicious start. Boston Uni
versity, with some Of the toughest
teams In the East on her schedule,
seems due to strike some tough sled
ding before the season ends.
Either Fort williams was very
good or Maine was very bad In the
first game of the season at Orono.
The college team just managed to
exc out a 7-6w win over the soldiers
and a comparison Of scores in other
years doesn't speak too well for
Maine. Maine, looked upon as a
strong contender for state honors.
must brace up or fall by the way
side for this is going to be a tough
year to stay in the running In the
state series. Colby is exceptionally
strong, according to all reports. Bow
doin was not hit very hard by grad
uation and Bates Is reputed to have
the strongest team in years.
Camden upset the dope by defeat
ing Gardiner. Gardiner has several
veterans but the ineligibility of two
stars forced a complete last minute
change in the plans Of the coach
and the down river team should be
strong before the Cony game. Halo
well, with a fast attack, took one
from Madison, despite the fact that
the latter had eight veterans who
were said to be good. Winslow held
Biddeford to a scoreless tie. Both
these teams are on the Cony slate
and both will appear in Augusta
later in the season.
Cony played heads up football
team for a green outfit Saturday.
The Cony line with a little more pol
ish, will be one of the best in the
state and the team will acquire that
before the season is very old. Den
nett is a halfback OF no mean abil-
ity and Rand promises to develop
into one of the best broken field run
ners in this section. Captain Tubby
Hilton. who although a veteran at
football. is new to the quarterback
position, called couple that didn't
look just right to the crowd Satur-
day but It is lot easier to pick
plays in the bleachers than it is on
the playing field.
In addition to this Hilton was,
and still is. suffering from an attack
of boils. Boils are not exactly the
most pleasant things in the world
and are enough to think about with
out attempting to direct the play
of team. However, Tubby took
care Of both and as a whole, he did
pretty good job at II.
Another thing which impressed
the spectators was the fact that not
Cony man was laid out in the bat
tie Saturday. This testifies to the
wonderful condition the Cony squad
is in and is tribute 10 coach
Pierce's ability as a trainer.
Answer to f. B. evils and
Ffrpo went through their fight with
neither man hitting the floor. The
battle was a tame affair and the
crowd booed them hard and often.
Wills gained the decision by punish
ing Firpo with his right while the
South American did not land an ef-
fective blow during the whole con-
test.
