Brunswick, Nc, Sept. (SpeciaD-
Bowdoin is now fairly started on its
fall term for 1900 During the last
week, men have been coming to Bruins
wick day by day, till now the Gleat
majority Of the students have return
ed and with them have come Sc fresh
men This is considered a large class.
In 1t are a number of men from states
other than Maine. Each year sees
more and more men from other states.
Bowdoin's field is now New England
not Maine alone.
Captain Gregs1n Of the foot ban team
has been here for 10 days. He and
Coach Yale Locke Of Brown Univer-
sity are hammering the material at
hand into condition for the first game
with Harvard From appearances at
present Rowdoin should put one Of the
best teams she ever had in the Fl Id.
this year Besides Captain GrrFson,
there are BodwelI 1901. center. cloud
man. 1901, Sweet, 1901, guards, Il:rr-
riere. 1901. and Hill 1901. tackles Hunt.
1902, half back. and Upton, 1902 full
back. OF the new men, PhippS late Of
Brown. is showing ability in the cen
ter Of the line, where Barker. 1902, is
also putting up a good game. Giles.
1902. and Wilson, 1902. are doing good
work at quarter and should develop in
to fast men. Hamilton. 1902, who play
ed tackle in some games, last year, is
playing with all his last years ener-
gy. Weber, 1903, half back of last
years freshman team, is putting UP a
strong game in the back field.
In the freshman class there is consid-
cradle base ball material; the best Of
which is. perhaps, II. II. Oaks IF Au-
burn, who has been elected captain Of
the freshman nine. He pitched. last
year. on the Edward Little High school
team of Auburn where he had the rep
utatiOn OF being the best intersChOlas-
tic pitcher in the State. He has the
candidates for his class team out twice
a day on the Delta, in practice for the
sOphOmOre-fresh series the first
game Of which will come of, tomorrow
morning 1t is thought that the fresh
men will win the game as they Will be
particularly strong with Captain Cakes
in the box Coffin will probably pitch
for the sOphOmOreS. Captain Pratt VI
the Varsity nine is greatly pleased at
the prospect Of having a star player en-
ter. this year. The man is Andrew
Hovey. who has been one year at
Wesleyan, where he played a remark
able game at first base. He intends 70
enter the sophomore class at Bowdoin,
this fall. He will greatly strengthen
the team. next spring
Work on the central heating and
lighting station has been carried on
steadily during the summer. In the
basement Of the Sargent gymnasium
have been fixed three immense boilers
which are TO furnish heat to all the
buildings on the campus. The students
are particularly glad that the college
has decided to furnish them with cleo
trio lights. During the past few years
the service in the way of electric lights
rendered by the Brunswick Electric
Light 60 has been far from satislac-
tory. The lights have been extremely
poor. much poorer than the lights fur
nished to the residents Of the town,
which was none too good and eXorbi-
tant prices have been charged. The
students are anticipating great salts
faction from the good lights at reason
able prices which the new lighting and
heating plant will furnish them.
