THE FIELD OLE SPORT.
ToUCHDowNs AND GOALS.

OF che state in this branch Of athletics,
but this year through a combination Of
hard luck, poor coaching and bad man
agement the opening games were any
thing but creditable exhibitions. Tufts
and Bates, both of which teams Bowdoin
has always beaten, won in poorly played
games, and it was little consolation to
Bowdoin men that the team heat Exeter
and made q good showing aga inst Har-
ward. Now the team has taken q BRACE
got new coachers, and Is playing under q
different system, SO that the supporters of
the white are confident of regaining their
former hoors."
Bowdoin's schedule for the remainder
of the season is % follows:
Saturday, October 30-M. I. I. at
Brunswick.
Wednesday, November s-Colby at
Saturday, November 6-Tufts at College
Hill.
Wednesday, November I0--Open.
Saturday, November 13-Colby at
Brunswick.
Wednesday, November 17-Open.
Bangor plays Kent's Hill in Bangor on
Saturday. In writing of the contest the
Bangor Commercial says: "This game
will practically SETTLE the intersoholastio
championship Of the state. Bangor has
not been beaten by school team yet and
Kent's Hill has the same record 90 that
the result Is uncertain although the Ban
gor boys have good chance of winning
# they play good football. The Bangor
| tcam..will line up ss follows: Fitzgerald,
l 9; Smith, l t; Burrill, / g; Stone, O.;
Sargent. 6; harry Hunt + t.; Howard,
+ 9; Bridges. q.b; Hal Hunt, III b;
Bailey, b b; G. Connors, b; Corners,
Nelson and Lyons, substitutes.
Portland High school is quite factor
in the intsrsoholastic championship Of the
state and Kent's Fill should not be
counted among the school teams anyway
This team, however, is certain of defeat
jng Bangor High to the tune OF 80 to o.,
but when this is done Kent's Hill is by
no means the champion school team of
Maine. A game must be played with
Portland High before this title will be
rightfully hers.
| "Bin Crowley" who was the star right
end on the High school team in 90 and
regarded one Of the best players on any
High school team In Maine, has returned
to school and may play on this year 6
team, but the matter has not been fully
decided as yet. Crowley did not return
to school to play football. He was given
to understand that unless he became a
regular student he could not come back.
Gus Corners may return later In the fall
but probably not until after the football
season ends. Bangor Commercial.
| Here's where Bangor begins to work In
the RINGERS" Hal Hunt is still playing
on the Bangor team although his hair
should be gray by this time for his con.
nection with the school has been extended
over the greater part of decade.
| All of the old Bowdoin players have
been summoned to Brunswick to assist
In coaching the team. Letters were sent
| out last week to the different men and
nearly all of them reported on Monday.
Bowdoin is getting desperate and is pur-
suing Yale tactics in the coaching line
with about the same chance Of success in
the end that Yale has.
Waterville High school will play the
Thornton Academy eleven at Saco on
Saturday. The schedule of the Water
Vile: team for the rest of tho season is as
follows: November 8, Hebron Academy
at Waterville; November Is, Lewiston
High school at lewiston; November 20,
Kent's Hill seminary at Waterville; No
vember %, G. @. I. at Waterville.
As.it is understood that the::Bates eleven
had expressed willingness to play the
University Of Maine again, Manager
Webster of the latter has wired the Bates
manager to see II Bates will play In Ban
gor on November 8. It will be battle
royal If the two elevens meet
again. Yet the U. Of M. think
they can beat them, and, the at
tempt will be we'll worth witnessing.
Bates has a good team and isn't afraid of
coming up against other elevens in the
| state.
Biddeford Journal: Several supporters
of the Thornton Academy team went to
Portland yesterday to see the game be-
tween Portland High and Westbrook
seminary and get an idea as to how the
Portland boys compare with the home
team. One of them said today: "Port-
land has improved q good deal since the
game with the Bowdoin Freshmen, I
guess they could beat the Freshmen now.
Still the score they piled up against the
Westbrooks was due more to the Door
playing of the seminary team than to
good work on the part Of Portland. The
Portland boys fumbled good deal and
their play was not fast enough. West
brook was slower still but II Portland
should run against Thornton they would
have to wake up in order to be in the
game. Portland's backs play too close to
the line; they don't get Roadway enough
before they strike it. Anderson is the best
man on the Portland team. They call
him the best end in the state, but I tell
you he isn't In it with either Boyker or
Seavey. In the Portland teams play
there is q notable lack of the snap and
dash which tho Thornton boys show.
You want my impartial Judgment as to
