Brunswick, Nov. 16.-(SpeciaD.-
game played with Bates at Lewiston. last
Saturday, closed the foot bah season of
the Bowdoin Varsity eleven. The pict-
ure of the team will be taken, tomorrow.
and next seasons captain will proba bly,
be elected at the same time. On the
whole the foot ball season of '96 has been
a prosperous one. OF the 10 games
played Bowdoin has won five, last three
with the Maine State college game, which
resulted in score of II to in Bowdoins
favor. In the contest with Amherst
neither side scored, and in the Tufts
game Bowdoin was victorious by a score
OF to D.
Bowdon met her first defeat at the
hands Of the Boston Athletic Association
team, the score standing 26 to 6. The
first game with Colby resulted in score
of II 10 0 in favor OF Bowdon. After this
came the disastrous New Hampshire ana
eleven defeated Bowdon by a score of %
to O. and then followed the Dartmouth
game. in which Bowdoin was again de-
feated by a score Of 26 to 10. Weakened
and crippled by these severe contests
Bowdoin succeeded in defeating Andover
by score of only 10 to 0. Then CAME the
second game with CODY. and in this con-
test the condition of the field and the de-
cisions of unfair officials contributed in
no small degree toward saving Colby
from a defeat. The game resulted in a
score OF 6 to 8. Bates proved an easy
victim to the Bowdoin eleven. the score
standing % to 0. Thus it will be seen
that while Bowdoin has been unfortunate
in many of her games outside the State
she still remains the champion of Maine
foot ball teams.
Manager Brett has conducted the iinan-
cial affairs of the team most admirably
and Capt. Stearns has not only proved "a
most efficient captain, but has filed his
position of left end in a faultless man
ner. William D. Stockbridge, 80. has
played the position Of left tackle and
has shown himself to be n hard working
Gould 9S. have played an equal number
of games at left guard French was in
iured early in the season. so has not Ia
ken part in all the games. yet his work
has been above reproach in those which
he has played. Gould is an all-rounl
player and has occupied nearly every po-
siton in the line in a highly creditabe
manner.
The position of center has been success
fully filled by John N. Shuie =. WI.
and has played them so well that We
have no hesitancy in declaring him the
best guard in the State. The position OF
right tackle has been filled by Tim
perfectly at home on the foot ball field
and his work is vigorous and effective
William T. Veazie. 80, has played a sen
sational game at right end. and has sci
dom failed to down his man; Wigsin: IS
and Games, IS. have played successfully
in parts of several games.
BoWdoin men, however. are especially
proud of the work done by the backs OF
this seasons team. The position or quar-
terback was filed during the first of the
fall by Arthur F. Fairfield. 49, but on &C.
this lively little player was compelled Is
retire from the foot ball field. Last sea
