been cut Of the game for two days, but
will probably be around all right Sat
urday. The players have not that ex-
plicit confidence Of winning which
characterizes 50 many teams, but ar
ter their victory over Colby they will
go on the field with u determination
that will make Bates hustle. From
word received by Manager Cole from
the Bates management to the effect
that they have their official and ap-
point the other also. it would seem that
they would have both ends Of the string
ana a hole in the middle. Manager
cole assured the Lewiston men that he
would have an official who was salts
