T0GUS PROVES TOO
FAST FOR GARDINER
| IN SABBATH GAME

Togus, Oct. 24.-The many fans
VINO braved the rain Sunday to at
tend the football game here saw the
nome team win from a fast eleven

Freshmen Win

q Waterville, Oct. 24.-The Colby
Freshman and Hebron Academy
football teams played to scoreless
tie this morning on Seaverns Field:
Hebron threatened 10 score seYeral
times but lacked the punch to put the
BAH over
Twice in the last quarter Hebron
fus< missed a score. They carried the
bali down the field to the five yard
line only to lose it on downs. Almost
Immediately after, the academy lads
brought the sphere down to the ten
ward line and tried. for a field goal,
but missed by a wide margin.
The feature of the game was
dropkick by Arber in the second per-
iod. Standing on the fifty yard line he
executed one of the prettiest Kicks
seen in some time. The ball just fell
short of the cross bar and landed in
the end zone.
Hebron made their big attempt to
score in the last quarter. They made
three first downs in rapid succession
to bring the ball to the Freshmen five
yard line. Lamb tried line buck
but the whole Frosh team nailed him
and saved their goal. Donovan
punted to the S5 yard line. The
academy boys crashed through again
to bring the ball 70 the ten yard
marker where they tried for a field
goal to no avail. Colby kicked out OF
danger and the game ended with the
bah On oCIby's p yard line.

McGINLEY'S OUTFIT
WON ALL THE WAY
FROM SKOWHECAN

Gardiner, Oct. 2S-Gardiner High
contributed her portion to the upsets
in the football world today by COM
pletely upsetting the dope and trim
ming Skowhegan High by the decis-
i've score of 21-0. Although Coach
McGinley's men had shown a marked
Improvement in the last two games
sport followers expected Coach Dos
ties team to administer a sound
beating to the locals in view of the
records previously hung up by these
two elevens.
Gardeners passing game which has
been groomed all along this season
accounted for her first touchdown
when after a long heave from Lynds
TO Marson the ball was within easy
scoring distance, and Cobb the soph-
omore back pushed it over for the
first counter This same Dick Cobb
took the-ball over for the second
touchdown after line plunges and a
penalty on Skowhegan.
tumble and another penalty again
put the locals in scoring position and
once more Cobb went over for the
final marker Gardiner secured all
three of the points after touchdown,
two of them being awarded as an off,
side penalty for the visitors.
Only one more game that of next
Saturday with Rumford remains be-
fore the all important Cony game, and
Gardeners chances for conquering
their traditional enemy have been
boosted sky high for the Skowhegan
team that fell before Gardeners on
slaught Saturday was the one that
whipped Cony to the tune of 500 ear
ier in the season.

SHOPPING, FOR VEGETABLES
BY Hannah Wing

Wy7EN one goes shopping for
w fresh fruits and vegetables
these days one must use as much
or more care than in buying
silks, veivets or 1aces. CabbageS
do not come with the label woven
in the selvage, nor do they have
q distinguishing wrapper with g
trade mark which stands for
reliability. Therefore, one must
use ones senses, including that
known as common; as well as
those Of sight and smell and
feeling.
Appearance, condition, size,
flavor and correct weight or
measure must be taken into con-
sideration. Care in grading and
preparing for shipment results in
the best products and Is usually
indicated by careful packing in
heavy crates that prevent bruls-
ing, by a spotless surface, uni
form in size in each crate and
often by individual paper wrap.
pings. The appearance Of such
external parts as tips and leaves
Is a help in judging freshness In
the retail market.
Look not only for beginning OF
decay, but also, for maturity and
fineness Of flavor. A good pine
apple, for example, has q fine
aroma. Juice is heavier than
pith or rind, and the lighter of
two similar looking grapefruit or
parsnips should be rejected. A
well-filled head Of cabbage Is
heavy. Sometimes It paws to buy
single apple or orange and

quantity from the same lot. In
marketing for several days at a
time, such foods as peaches, ba-
nanas, tomatoes or pears, that
ripen at home, should be bought
