FOOTBALL NOTES.
Much feeling has developed among the
Maine colleges over football. The refusal
of both Bowdoin and Colby TO play foot
ball with the, University of Maine 10 the
sensation of Maine athletics. Bowdoin
always has Leen supreme in football She
has played only one game with Maine
college this year, having been decisively
defeated by Bates to the establishment of
her supporters. The University of Maine
and Bates have met twice. The first
game was to G for Bates, safety losing
the game for the q. Of NJ.
The second game resulted to in
favor of Bates, drop kick in the last
two seconds of play winning 1t.
- Negotiations for game between Bow
doin and the University of Maine ended
when Bates beat Bowdoin, and in spite
of the most urgent efforts of Manager
Webster of the q. of M. they cannot be re-
newed. After weeks of effort Manager
Webster succeeded week ago in srrang-
ing game between this eleven and Colby
for tomorrow at Bangor, but after the
tie game last Saturday between Bates and
Colby and the defeat the same day of
Tech by the University sof Maine, IA to o,
the Colby management telephoned that
the Bangor game was off.
The plea, according to Manager
H6USuOI, Al uLlhu oAlO Willis WoE6 IOU SEU1S-
factory, though they had previously been
accepted and were division of receipts
after allowing Colby SIS and U. M. $S7
for expenses.
Manager Webster visited WatervilIe
yesterday and offered various concessions
to get the game, but without avail. He
says that Prof. Bayley of the faculty ad-
visers in Colby admitted that the reason
for cancelling the game was that some of
the eleven were out Of condition.
Manager Corson of Colby when asked If
his team was in shape, refused to answer
the question. ''The impression gained, )"
said Manager Webster today, twas that
Colby was leaving no stone unturned in
its determination to beat Bowdoin when
they meet on November 8; that no game
would be played Saturday October 30, and
that no risk would be taken to injure any
of the players previous to that contest"
At the University of Maine much an
noyance is felt at the disposition of Colby
and Bowdoin not to arrange game and no
further overtures will be made either Of
them. The prospects are that the Univer-
sity team will disband, for without games
with Maine colleges interest cannot be
maintained among the players or their
followers.
This falls trouble will result in the
organization of football league in
Maine, including all the regularly organ
ized teams, the college elevens in the first
class, the academies and leading high
schools in the second class and the smaller
high schools in the. third class, all to be
Governed by board of arbitration com-
nosed of representative Maine men inter
