Young. the two heavy guards. Albee
and StockhrlEe. the tackles. Hadloch,
the quarter back. and Walter clark.

last wear. by good hard live bucking
for 40 yards. are no longer in college.
This leaves Bndwell. last years center.
Captain Clark and Bellatty, at the two
ends. and GregsOn and Hunt at half
back. as a nucleus for this years team.
The tackles bid fair to be the weakest
positions on the team. Murphy, who
played tackle on the sc team and made
a name for himself as the best tackle
Bowdoin ever had. has been in Bruins
wick for several days. trying to get
some men into shape to play these Two
positions. but thus far has not been
eminently successful.
RodweN 1861. is playing a remarkable
game this year. He weighs 20 POUNDS.
and is wonderfully quick on his feet tor
a man of his size and weight. IS an eN-
pertinent he has been changed from
center to guard in order TO give him q
chance at carrying the ball. He seems
quite at home in this position. ana as
he hits the line hard and is sure of q
ward or two each run is probably a fix
ture in this place. He is all over the
field. making more tackles than the
ends, breaking up interference cont!n-
ually. and getting down the field On
punts even with the ends.
At center in place Of BodwelL
Stuart. 1901. is playing. he IS rather
light for the position. but is hard
gritty PLAYER He weighs about lso
He has played on his class team for
two years and had some valuable early
training in intarscholasti" circles.
Hamlin. 1900. is big fellow Of some 20
pounds. but is bit clumsy and does
not show a great knowledge Of the
game He may with coaching brace up
and push Stuart hard for the place. Fer
the other guard. Cloudman. 1901. the
sprirter, who ran the 100 yards in 70
seconds, is playing good game. He is
heavy man and quick but shows 4
tendency to play TOO high. He has mad
two years experience on the Varsity
and doubtless viii prove a valuable
man. Shaw. a freshman, is also trying
for guard he comes from Lewiston
where he had the advantage Of early
training. He is hard worker and VIII
make a strong fight for the position.
