The Biddies, using only a few plays, completely outplayed the St. Louis team, but seemed to only once. A pass from Pierce to Lisica copped the game for the B. H. S. eleven. Biddeford-l 2 Westbrook-0 The second straight win of the season was gained by winning a decisive game from Westbrook by a tally of l2-0. The first touchdown was a I2-yard jaunt around left end by R. Jones and the second was a lOl-yard flat pass from G. Masoian to Lausier. The fans were right behind the Biddeford eleven and again the victory bell rang for B. H. S.

The Biddies threatened twice but failed to tally. Biddeford-7 Deering-6 After tasting defeat at the hands of Portland, the Rhuland-coached war- riors gained their third victory of the season by defeating Deering 7-6 in a hard game. Biddeford's pony backfleld did heavy damage with their spinners and end skirts and scored that way. The Deeringites gained their goal by a long pass. Once more the victory bell rang.

Biddeford-0 Edward Little-0 At the Alumni field the big Bidde- ford eleven battled E.. l... to a 0-0 dead- lock. The Biddies pushed their way into scoring distance twice but failed in the pinches, led by Minnini and Can- tara. The B. H. Si. warriors outplayed E. L. all the way. Biddeford-0 So. Portland-l9 This game was played without six B. H. S. regulars, who were forced to the sideline due to injuries. The Orange and Black eleven received the ball and progressed to the S. P. I9 vard line and then never threatened again in the
