ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

Lewiston, November 14.-At Lee park
this afternoon Bowdoin defeated Bates
40 to o. scoring IS points in the first
half. Except for a strong east wind the
conditions were ideal. The contest was
much more Interesting than the score
exciting, Pulsifer's run on fake kick
and several double passes by both teams
being particularly SO. Stanwood punted
and ran exceedingly we'll. Bowdoin had
splendid opportunity to try her end
plays and used them to good advantage,
but she found the Bates three center men
little goo strong. Her blocking was
not as effective as it should have been,
several lines her runners were tackled
because his blOokers were of no assistance
whatever to him. In the second halt
Bowdoin failed to maintainRher pace and
Bates seized the opportunity to make
several good gains.
Bates was never in the game in the
first half except for two short rallies In
the center OF the field. 1t is unfortunate
that Bates, like Colby, lacks good punt
er.
