season will occur at Lewiston, next
Saturday, when Bowdoin and Bates
meet on the gridiron., These are the
two strongest teams in the State and
which is the stronger of these two,
and by how much, are questions arous-
ing intense interest among all lovers of
the great fall sport. For many years
Bowdoin was easily the champion of
the State, but hard earned experience
and excellent coaching have improved
her rivals, till matters are now more
interesting. Last year the Bowdoin
team was weaker than usual and poor
ly managed, and for the first time it
met defeat from a Maine team. This
year it is strong again and is deter
mined to regain it's former place at the
head. 1t has played seven games, thus
far, winning five of these by scores
ranging from SO to 0, to IS to II. 1t
has lost games to Dartmouth and Har-
ward, but scored in both games, no
other small college having made a
touchdown against Harvard for many
years. Colby and the University of
Maine are among the five teams Bow
dom has beaten by good scores, this
fall. Bates is regarded as much
stronger this year than ever before.
The team has played four games to
BoWdoin's seven, and has not met
such strong teams as Bowdoin has
tackled. 1t has defeated University of
Maine twice by scores larger than
Bowdoin made against this team, and
has beaten New Hampshire State Col
lege by score of % points smaller
than Bowdoin made. Saturday it de-
feated Exeter is to II, the same score
Bowdoin made against Tufts. OF
course it is very unsafe business to
base predictions on comparative scores,
as every foot ballist knows. and it will
take Saturdays game to settle the
question of Slneriorjtv

the rub of enforcing the law, for the

FOR ASSOCIATE JUSTICE SUPREME
COURT

Mr.. Lovely is one Of the best known
members of the legal fraternity of Min
nesota, and was given the nomination
as a candidate for associate justice Of
the supreme court with great enthusi-
asm. He comes from sturdy Revolu-
tionary stock among the green hills Of
Vermont, having been born at Burling-
ton Nov. Is, 1913. Like most of our
successful and prominent Western men,
his early education was the result Of
personal sacrifices and industrious eff
forts to obtain means therefor. Mr..
Lovely came West at the age of nine
teen years, locating at Milwaukee,
where after two years residence he was
admitted to the bar of Wisconsin, and
later for three years practiced his pro-
fession at Watertown in that state,
thence removing to Minnesota and To-
eating at Albert Lea, where he has
since resided, during a period of over
thirty years, except for two years when
his business required his location in st.
Paul.
Mr.. Lovely served as county attorney
for Freeborn county for several terms.
and for four years, from 1886 to 1890,
he was president of the State Bar AS
ISOLATION Of this state. He is widely
known throughout the state as a jurist
and eloquent advocate. He has had
very large practice, both in the city and
county courts, as well as in the state
and federal supreme courts. He has
been unusually successful in cases
against corporations, and has been es-
pecially active in many suits which
have secured for railroad employees
their rights and protection for life and
limb. There is hardly a volume Of the
reports of cases decided by the supreme
court of Minnesota for the last twenty
five years where the result of his labors
are not to be found. Among the many
cases of this character is one tried be-
fore Ramsey county court and jury
where Mr.. Lovely recovered for rail
road engineer injured in collision the
substantial sum Of $4,000, the largest
verdict ever recovered for a railroad
employee in the United States.
