WATERvILLE and
C0NY IN SCHO0LB0Y
CLASSIC TODAY

Everyone who can possibly f,nd
transportation Is going up to Water
vile this morning. Cony and Wat
erviile are playing at 12:45 and there
VIII be sizeabls delegation to see
Cony attempt to stop the Waterville
aggregation. The Elm City club is
fast. And what is worse a little gen
t!eman by the name Of Pooler runs
the Waterville team and IL Cony
shows a weakness he will find it.
Cony Is going at a pretty good
stride Just at present. They held
Lewiston last week when everyone
was saying that Lewiston would win
py at least three touchdowns and
nave been showing even better form
TINS week. This game will have an
important effect of the standing of
kennebec Valley teams. It Water
VILE wins, they will have to beat
Winslow to annex the championship
of the Kennebec Valley, having al
ready eliminated Skowhegan and
Gardiner. If Cony wins she will
stand a good chance of coping the
championship of Kennebec county
and incidentally wipe out a stain in
her record at the hands of Show
hogan.
The game should be one of the
best OF the year. Bill Millett, who
coaches the Waterville outfit, has as
| sembled good, hard-fighting team
which should give Cony a rugged
battle. Waterville. having downed
Skowhegan last Saturday, will enter
/ the game a favorite but Cony has
used the favorites kind of rough this
season and the game should be a
hummer.
All the players except Diplock and
F'abrizi are in fine health and spirits
and the Waterville team Is reported
as being in excellent condition. The
game between these two friendly RI
walls OF Kennebec County should be
one OF the schoolboy classics of this
week end.
