Foot Ball Squad Hard at Work.-each Day
Shows Increased Strength.

Lewiston. Me, Oct. 4-(SpeciaD.-
The Bates football men are doing we'll
and each days practice shows in
creased strength in the team. There
are four men from the freshman class
who will play on the regular eleven,
and one or two substitutes. The four
men are: Andrews. who play as right
tackle: Finn, full back; Pugsley. left
end and Reed, left tackle. Turner
also will probably play half back Il
part of the time. Finn is one Of the
heaviest men on the team: Andrews is
an excellent player and is sure Of
getting into the game; Pugsley is
not an especially heavy man but can
do justice to the position which he oc-
cupies: Reed makes strong and
heavy tackle. The final makeup of
the regular team has not been fully de-
cided upon, but there is plenty of ma
terial and a good second team is ex-
peCted also. The team will leave for
Cambridge for the Harvard game.
