The Bowdoin Orient. feeling the
sting Of jests and remarks regarding
the football defeats, last fall. has
looked over. the records Of the past few
years In tho various lines Of intercol-
legiate, athletics in Maine. and pre-
sents Some tables which are Of much
interest both to Bowdoin men and to
their athletic rivals. or course, 1t Is
well known that In every branch Of
athletics, football. baseball, rowing.

work. Rowdoin was the pioneer in
Maine, and the other colleges took their
early lessons from her and followed her
lead. The Orient comparison. how
eyer. does not go back TO these early
years. but only covers the past decade
in which Colby, Bates and U. Of NJ.
have ell become worthy rivals and
won a good share of the honors. Nor
does the Orient touch on I3owdoin's
many athletic honors won outside of
Maine-its many victories at the New
England field days Mt Worcester. it's
rowing record which Is more glorious
than that of any other small college
in the countr,,-, its points won at
Mott Haven, its relay teams victories
in Boston, or the prestige won by
many football and baseball games out
side of Maine. The comparison, as we
said before, is confined to Maine con-
tests of the past few years. In foot
ball. for instance. in the past 10 years.
Bowdoin has played 16 games with
Colby, winning II, losing and two
being tie games. With Bates. there
have been played 10 games. Bowdoin
winning and Bates 8. Five games
have been played with L. of NJ. of
which Bowdoin has won four and lost
one. AS to points won, Bowdoin has
scored SAG points against its Maine
college rivals, and they combined have
scored 1916 against Bowdoin. In base
ball the fonors have been more evenly
divided, and that is the only branch OF
athletics in which the other Maine col
leges can well compare their records
to Bowdoin's. Since 1890. Colby and
Bowdoin have met 80 times upon the
diamond and each kas won Is games.
Bowdoin and Bates have played Is
games, Of which Bowdoin has won Is
and Bates Is: With Z. of NJ. IS games
have been played In that time Of which
Bowdoin has won IL and L. Of NJ. 6.
The best test Of general athletic superb
ority is found IN the field and
track games. since many kinds
lof contests are involved and
many more students rarti-
cipate than in other branches Of ath-
letics. In this. Bowdoin not only led
the way at the start. but has since
maintained it's lead by wide margin
