Winslow High School Notes
Although Winslow High School lost
some of the greatest football play
ers that ever represented the school
last year, Coach Mansfield expects
to have strong team again this
year. The first practice was held
Monday night when 40 candidates re-
ported for the team. This Is twice
as many as exer came out for foot
bah before in this school. The line
this year will be the strongest that
ever represented the school. In
Hodges, Estes and Mcdonald, Win
slow will be represented by veterans
that are tall. heavy and experienced.
Howver. the backield will be very
light and inexperienced. If Coach
Mansfield succeeds in roudning out a
smooth working backfield, Winslow
will be destined to win many games
this year. AS yet, the practice ses-
sions have been very light, sbut the
squa has shown a lot of fight and
their willingness to work seems to
prophecy a merry battle for the diff
ferent positions on the team. This
year Winslo wis attacking the hard
est schedule they ever faced. The
season starts with game with Bid
deford High at Biddeford. The next
game is Lawrence High at Winsolw,
then comes Cony High at Augusta.
Rockland High at Rockland. Camden
High at Camden. Higgins Classical
Institute at Charleston, Belfast at
Belfast, and in addition to this sched-
ule Winslow has two attractive offers
for games in Massachusetts on
Thanksgiving Day.

ESkIMOS SAVE FUEL SUPPLY
 THREATENED BY RISING SEA

SEATTLE, Wn., Feb. F. (P)-A desperate fight by Eskimos to save a winters supply of coal from the ele- ments has been reported by Dr. w. A. Newhall, pastor of three missions in the vicinity of Point Barrow, north ernmost tip of Alaska.
 The fuel had been landed on the beach from a supply ship when a storm, described as the worst in years, broke. Rain accompanied by snow and hail fell, and wind drove sand and fine pebbles before it. The rising sea soon was Tapping against the mann moth pile of sacked coal.
 Without waiting for suggestions or orders, the natives, men, women and children fell to work moving the heavy bags to safety. For four hours, until we'll past midnight the labor con- tinued. The men carried the sacks on their backs, while the women and children tugged and dragged them thru the shifting sand until the more than a hundred tons of coal had been placed out of reach of the waves.
