A pair of huge buck deer, prob | ably as fine as any that will be | shot in Maine this year, were | brought back from that state to Plainville last night by John J.. | Cassidy and Louis Provencher when they returned from a success ful weeks hunting trip with deer on each running board Of their au- tomohile. A hunter is allowed only one deer a year In Maine, and the local nimrods made sure that tho ones they brought down were worth the time and trouble.
 Cassidy shot 40 pound hog deer late one night and the animal plunged into and swan across a river. The hunters were forced to wait until morning. when they crossed and found the dead buck on the other bank. Provencher shot l90 pound ranger deer which ran for half a mile before dropping. They report that the woods were full of deer and that a large number of hunters were out after them. They also saw sew eral bears. one of which was run ming off on its hind legs with a sheep in It's arms"
 It was the first trip Of the local men. and they are enthusiastic about returning next year. They consider themselves extremely for tunate that both victims were such fine specimens and intend to have the heads mounted.
 Injuries Cost Game
 Injuries to the backfield cost the high school its return game with Southington yesterday afternoon after the locals had apparently shown enough to eventually bring home the victory. In the first quar- ter Plainville played well and with fine spirit, and it appeared that the visitors would win, but Southington threw fresh men into the fray every five minutes and gradually wore the small local team down. Most of the backheld received in- juries. furthering handlcapping Plainville, and gradually Southing- ton pulled away to an 1s-0 victory.
 The Plainville backaeld was composed of Conlon, Peterson. Murphy and Backman; Berry. Weber and Purdy took turns at right gaurd, and the other line po- sltlons were taken care of by Wiley, Wegner, Schsffer. Smith, Robert son and Di Marco.
 Backman. the Plainville quarter back, was the most seriously hurt. his leg being so badly injured that he really should not have finished the game. It was reported today that he would not be able to play during the rest Of the season, and his loss may force Plainvile to cur tail its schedule through lack of adequate reserve force.
