In the opening foot ball game of the
season, Bowdoin defeated the team
representing the New Hampshire
State College, on Whittier field, Satur-
day afternoon. by the score of As to O.
In the corresponding game, last year.
the score was 81 to 0.
The game although uninteresting as
far as the final result was concerned
nevertheless gave an excellent oppor-
tunity to estimate the comparative
strength of the home team with regard
to former years. 1t abounded in brill
liant individual plays, and Bowdoin's
team work showed up much better
than had been expected at this early
date.
The entering class has brought to the
college several promising men, two of
whom. Davis and Philoon, showed up
we'll in Saturdays game. Davis comes
from Bridgton High school. where he
played an exceptionally strong game
on his school eleven, and PhilOon is
the well-known Edward Little player.
These two men at right guard and
center are sure to prove valuable
pair for the team. Monro. who has
entered the Junior class, was at Bates
last year and played a similar position
there. His work, Saturday, was Of a
high order. Other new men on the
team are Soule, left tackle Barker and
Shaw left guard, Perkins and Walker.
quarter back. Blanchard right half
back, and Beanc, who played a part of
the game at right end. With the ex-
ception of the last named, who is a
sophomore, these are all members of
last years second eleven. They have
had considerable experience and are
all showing up well.
Only five of last years players We're
in the game. Saturday, Captain Hunt
ilton at right tackle. and the two ends,
Fogg and Kelley. Captain Hunt S
playing was the principal feature Of
the game and he again demonstrated
that he is one of the fastest backs
Bowdoin has ever had. This is his
fourth year on the team and he has
played in nearly every game since en-
tering college. He scored six touch
downs, Saturday, two of which were
made after long runs. one in 40 sec
ondS and the other in A. seconds. VIII
son played the same snappy game that
charact eriZed his playing last year. He
is quick on his feet and a good line
bucker. Hamilton showed UP stronger
than ever in his old position. Fogg
and Kelley put up their usual strong
game on the ends and gave a guaran-
tee that these positions will again be
well looked after
Coffin, who played a part of last sea
son at full and Dunlap, the star
tackle. are both out of the game for
the present on account of slight in
iuries. They will, however, soon join
the team.
Last year Bowdoin won from New
Hampshire only by the score of 50 to
0. after considerable more practice
than the team has had this year, but
the latter team is not as strong as last
wear so that this comparison can
hardly serve as an estimate for Bow
doin's strength for the two years.
Next week. the team will leave for
Cambridge. where Bowdo.n will play Har-
been definitely decided what men will
make the trip. Following is Saturdays
