Brunswick He, Sept. q. 1898. -(Spec-
.al.-The football season at Bowdoin
really begins next Saturday when the
team will line up against the Campello
Athletic Association on the Whlttier Ath-
letic field. The Bowdoin team has been
working hard this fall to get into conol-
ton for the season. which will be an
unusually hard one. but thus far they
have sadly failed to fill the positions left
vacant by the graduation Of the class OF
'SS. Several new players have come IN
who have been trying hard for positions
in the line and that part Of the eleven
will have good many heavy men in 1t
perienced but the backs will be practi-
cAily all unframed and light men. With
the exception of Captain Clark who will
play his old place at full back. every one
behind the line is the result OF this fails
training, having had only years prac-
tfce at the most. Under the efficient SUI
peryision of d. c. McAndrew. the team
made good progress the first of the fall,
SO that when Mr.. Richards came to take
his place as coach, the prospect was
fairly encouraging. but in spite OF the
good work of Mr.. Richards, the eleven
does not seem to develop as well as the
management had hoped.
Manager Lancey has worked hard and
sndeavored to get every possible e ca "a al,
his efforts. the men who are working for
places back of the line are not all that
could be desired. OF course the position
Of full-back is filled most efficiently by
Captain Clark, and no one could ask for
anything better In the way of line
buGker than Clark. who is known as
probably the best back in the State. Ii
ashard to say who will fill Ted STAN
woods place, even as late in the season
as this. but the men who will play the
two halves, next Saturday will probably
