PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 10. -
After the smoke of Pennsylvania

city had a lead of more than 100000

George Wharton Pepper, the Mellon

and having the endorsement of the
state Federation of Labor, ran a very
poor third. polling less than half the

who also had the support of many of
the leaders of labor in the state.

1t is estimated that millions of dol

Not only do they understand the reason for

authorities of the two institutions to

his statement, 1.-The policy contem-
plated by the director of athletics Of
playing football every year with
Yale alone" No objection being made

construed as consent"
MIR. Elliott in his statement said:
AT the September % meeting of the
board of overseers there was an in
formal discussion about the football
situation and President Lowell made
a statement of the situation at that
time. Nothing was presented to the
board for action. No vote was taken

|"CH|C" P0OLER TO
LEAD WATERV|LLE
AGGREGATION IN II

Waterville, Nov 22-Edwin "Chic''
PooIer, popular Waterville High
football star, was today reelected
captain of the football team for next
year. There is no doubt in the
minds of people in this vicinity, or
elsewhere for that matter, as to
Chic being worthy of the honor of
reelection. He has shown himself
to be ever a hard worker for the
good of the squad, and a still harder
fighter in the lineup.
Coach Bill Millett showed little
hesitancy in picking Chick, along
with Hersey and Gilman, for the All
Maine High school football team.
With the vast amount of expert
ence gained this season, there seems
to be reasonable assurance that
Chick will lead his outfit good clip
next year, hitting the highest of the
high spots. Anyhow 1t Is generally
felt around these parts that the Wat
erville High football wagon has been
hitched to twinkling star.
