Manager Houlihan of the Bangor High
school eleven is busily at work making
arrangements for the second game be-
tween his team and the Portland High
school team which will ne played in Ban
gor Saturday afternoon at Maplewood
Park. The Commercial says the field
will be roped off Friday and there will
be plenty of policemen on hand at the
game to keep the crowd off the field and
give the visitors a ''fair shake" 1t is
probable that the same officials who acted
in the game last Saturday in Portland,
will offioiate here next Saturday with the
exception of J. G. Minot of Bowdoin
college and he will be unable to come,
it is said, on account of another engage
ment.
Manager Houlihan, ,and in fact all the
members of the Bangor eleven, say that
the two teams have never played when
the officials were as impartial as those
whoshad charge of lastISaturday game.
The game next Saturday has been

will take place on the Baseball grounds
in Deering. While Bates has not played
football so long as Bowdoin, she has this

Dartmouth against Bowdojn in this city,
October 5. has had the Bates men in hand

achieved CREST results
Bowdoin's eleven of this year, on the
other hand, is the lightest which that
has had the best Of coaching. Mackie
who had the team in hand the first Of the
season, played guard on Harvard the past
four years and was one of the best men
that college ever had in that position.
Hoag, who has directed operations the
past two weeks, has filled the position of
full back on HaJva and B. A. A.
Bates is in the best of condition and
full of confidence 10 her ability to hold
Bowdoin down well or even win from
her. She bases Ier calculations on the
relative scores made by the two teams
against Colby lately Bates scoring ten
last Saturday, and Bowdoin only five in
game which took place some three
weeks ago. On thu whole Bates seems to
have good grounds for confidence in her
team ana Bowdoin will have to hustle in

was hurt in practice Tuesday, and it is
doubtful if he is able to be in the game
Saturday. Both half backs and Moulton,
the quarter, are suffering from injuries
received in practice, and Libby, who is
considered by Bowdoin men to be one of
the best ends playing the game, has water
on the knee.
In view of this remarkable catalogue
of injuries and the fact that Bowdoin has
another game before it. Thursday, the
prospect is by no means bright for the
Bruins wick men. They may be depended
on. however, to do their level best for
