Bangor High school Is Officially
closing her season today at Glouces-
| ter High school. After pausing to
recollect what happened to the Cony
team last fall down in the fish dis
trlct, and reeollecting still more that
almost the whole 1925 Gloucester
team is playing again this year, we
have all the sympathy in the world
for the Bangor club.
What has become Of all the good
old time fight towns? Where is Bath,
Matervllle. Augusta, Rockland,
SKowhegan? All of those towns once
inquired heavily in Maine boxing Cir
cles.
Augusta has been struggling along
several seasons. meeting but little
success. The gal,e is dead at Wa
terville, with no attempts at revival
In sight. Rockland has had few
bouts the past two or three years
and has turned out pretty good
crowds, but there are no local pro-
motors there.-Lewiston Sun.
We're going to step out into the
limelight again just rs soon as the
snow gets a little deeper. Harris AL
bert Sears, who has put on some
good bouts in Augusta in the past,
Is going to make a noble effort to
get back his money where he lost it.
Harris Albert is planning to stage
some hectic scraps in Augusta this
winter with the best in the business
as main bout attrG ;tions. The pad
ded mitt artists are going to earn
their money, too. The first gentle
man who fails to show signs of life
will be barred from future exhibit

wants to fight in Augusta will have
to put up forfeit. said money to be
refunded when he makes his appear

substitutes will r. considered and all
bouts will start as scheduled. The
first bout will be held in Augusta
within the next few weeks.
We're going to have some basket
ball and hockey, too. With one of
the best high school hockey outfits
in the state ready to skate on to the
Ice as soon as there is any ice, fol-
lowers of that sport in Augusta will
see some action this winter. The
American Legion is also planning q
few basketball games this winter and
as V. q III. always plays some good

Bates college students are very
much peeved over the retaining of
Lowell Textile on the football sche-
dule. They insist that the Lowell
team has not shown even the slight
est signs of craftsmanship and re-
cent developments seem to strength
en- this opinion.-Lewiston Journal.
Judging from the reports issued
through the Lewistt Journal. that
Lowell Textile football team must be
popular down on the banks of the
Androscoggin The fans will go to
see a game that Is one sided and
laugh it off, but the dirty tactics do
not go so well. A team which plays
football in an unsportsmanlike way,
either purposely or through ignor-
ance, is no drawing card and the
team that scored two ouchdowns on
Brown this year could get lot of
good teams to fill the empty date,
caused by the absence Of a weak
club from the schedule.
Jack Flavin of Portland and a
graduate of Georgetown is going to
coach basketball at st. Bonaventura
this winter. Jack, who Is a mean
basketeer himself. rhould make a
good showing in the New York COL
lege and he has the best wishes OF
a host of fans in this state who have
seen him perform.
