FOOTBALL At KeNr'S HILL.
Outlook for the Game With Bangor Saturday

Kent's Hill, Me-, Oct. 20, 1897
(SpeciaD .-Kent's Hill will battle on
the gridiron, tomorrow, with Bangor
High and as we think of the outcome
of this game our mind is filled with
doubts and misgivings. AT the begin
ming of the season Kent's Hill without
doubt had the strongest team of any
other preparatory school in the State
and we have ably demonstrated it in
our games. True though this is it is
equally true that our players have
never been so unfortunate as this sea
son. One by one have they become in
jured so that, at the present time, five
of our ableSt men are out of the game
for the remainder of the season.
Groves has a dislocated knee, Capt. A.
F. Mederas and Lufkin broken collar
bones. Capt. Alden a bone broken in his
ankle, and Austin is sick.
Fortunately We have strong second
eleven from which to draw recruits,
and, although we doubt if these new
ones are as good players as the old, yet
we hope to make a good showing
against Bangor for these players have
played foot ball before. Smith will act
as captain, Pedro Mederas and Wood
man will take Alden and Groves places
at half back, Randall will be changed
from right guard to center, Roberts
will be placed at right guard while
Berry will take Lufkins position at
right tackle, making the lineup as fol-
lows: r. e.. Eastman; r. t., Berry: r.
G., Roberts,; C. Randall, l. g.; Lipprelle;
!. t., Mattocks; |. e.. Perry; r. h. b., p.
Mederas; |. h. b., Woodman; f. b. and
captain, Smith; q. b., Vickery. Should
Bangor beat us it would not be much
of a feather in her cap, but should
Kent's Hill tie Bangor or win it would
be extraordinary. for our team consists
of six-elevenths of the first eleven and
five-elevenths of the second.

hereby voices its disapproval of such acts
THAT We press most emphaticaly our
condemnation of the policy pursued at
Princeton of permitting students to visit
drinking places, and we hereby warn the

the university has already been injured
and will continue to suffer as long as this
policy is pursued"

him, thought it only the natural ia

Not long after reaching the hotel he
retired.

GRAVE DOUBTS
Entertained for Safety Of Brig
Henry 3. CIeaves.
Left Boston Aug. 26 for Africa--Not
Heard from Since.
The Cleaves Hailed from Portland and Was
Built at Bath.

Boston, Oct. 29.-Doubts are enter
tanned for the safety of the brig Henry
B. Cleaves, William Nelson, master,
which sailed from this port, Aug. 26,
for the Cape Verde Island, west coast
of Africa. This vessel was sent out
by D. D. Hall & Co.. Of Boston, and
carried an uncommonly valuable cargo,
including flour and general merchan-
disc.
The CleaveS is now out ga days while
the voyage is usually made in % and
rarely exceeds IS days. Cable advices
received, today, state that no news has
been received of the vessel and the
owners have given her up as lost. 1t is
feared that she encountered some of
the gales that prevailed in the Atlantic
in September.
The brig Henry B. Cleaves was built
at Bath, Me-, in 1874, and has gross
tonnage of $50. She halls from Port
land. At the office of the United
States shipping commissioner, it was
learned that the crew of the Henry B.
Cleaves consisted of seven men, besides
the captain. The names of the men
are as follows: F. A. Smith of New
Brunswick. first mate; A. l.. Warner
belonging in the United States, second
mate; w. w. Dorr, steward, and sea-
men Mason, Il. c. Finley Fred Cottcr
and VIM. Holder. The Cleaves. on
her previous trip to Cape Verde Islands
took only 2S days.
There is a remote possibility that if
disaster overlook her the crew might
have been taken off by a vessel on II
long voyage so that it would be months
before word of her would be received.
The vessel was formerly owned by H.
NJ. Sargent of Portland, but was re-
Gently bought in part by Capt. Nelson,
who had no insurance. Other people
having shares in her have insurance.
The vessel and cargo were valued at
$4,000.
