The most of us had kicked the football around a little each fall, but we knew very little about the game. Coach Kittredge had to start from the be- ginning, teaching us the fundamentals. Twelve boys answered the first call for prac- tice. Our first game was with Strong. ln the First half our team outplayed the Strong boys in every department of the game, and we led 20-6. But in the second half Coach Higgins' team came back and played a very different game. When the final whistle sounded we were leading only Z6-25. Our next game was with Dixfield. a team that had been playing for two years. Dix- Field certainly showed us how the game should be played, and although we lost by a large score we all felt that we had learned a lot of football that afternoon. We played Rangeley and a return game with Dixheld, showing improvement in each game. Our last game was with Strong. From the opening whistle there was no ques- tion about the outcome. The boys showed good team work and looked like real foot- ball men. Although Mr. Kittredge will lose heavily by graduation, we feel confident that he will have a good team another year. Badger R, la.

XVC hope that this will be the last year that we will have to play the most of our games away from home. For the past few years. whenever any team has suggested they would rather not play in our hall. We have agreed to play both games in their own hall. Rangcley was the only team to beat us both games. They had a lane team, winning the North Franklin League and then going on to win the Farmington Tournament. VVe played both of our games with King- licld at Kingfield. The first was a great game lor the spectators. The score was close all the way, our team finally winning out Z0-lfl. The second game was played after

20 THE PH the tournament, and the boys were anxious to make up for that game they lost at Farmington. Burnham, Stinchfield, Badger, Russell, and Blanchard were playing their last league game for P. H. S., and what a game they played. The final score, 24-ll just about tells the story. At the tournament, after losing to King- field, the boys came back Saturday morning to win from Stratton, and played Farming- ton for the consolation trophy in the even- ing. This proved to be one of the best games of the tournament. Both teams, having lost in the first round, were fighting for one more victory. Farmington was ahead at the half, but in the first two minutes of the third quarter our boys made nine points and finally won by a small margin. Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Kittredge coached the team, and to them should go much of the credit for our successful season. Newt Toothaker will be our only regular back an- other year. Summary of games: ff ILLIPIAN Last year under Coach Higgins we had a very successful season. The only two games we lost were with Farmington, the First a 5-4 decision early in the season and later a ten inning battle on our own diamond. A very heavy hitting team was developed as the following scores indicate.

The season is very late and it is doubtful if we are able to play on our diamond before the tenth of May. The fol- lowing men are out for the team: Russell, Stinchfield, Burnham, H. White, I. White, A. Blanchard, C. Blanchard, Toothaker, Dennison, Badger, C. Smith, K. Smith, Mor- gan, Eustis, Lovett, Parker and Thompson. Russell, who always keeps the team on its toes, will do the most of the catching with Burnham and Stinchfield alternating in the box. Summary of games to be played: April 27 -- Phillips at Stratton.
