stuffed very hard. 1t is arranged to run
by pulleys free or partly free from the

High school last year and is showing
up strongly; Mcdonald, '06, RIB; Shaw
'05, who is a conner and will make
Collins hustle for full back, will be
tried in the game with Bar HarboT;
Reid, 'o5, is showing up well at left
guard: Libby is also another good man
who is trying for the same place;
Learned will probably be the naa
chosen for center, as he is quick and
has weigh. two points most essential
to this position; Tewkesbury, a fresh
man. is developing fast at tackle.
At the afternoon practice. today 50 men
reported to Coach Robinson. The men
were given practice in punting. catching
prnts. tackling and practicing various
Dlavs During the last part OF the after
noon a team was lined up against the
! Varsity for a short practice game. Al
I though it is early in the season, Coach
Robinson says that he is well satisfied
with the way in which the men are show
ing IIp. especially in the case of the fresh
men Capt. Dorticos is confident that the
team will surely be as strong as last
years aggregation.
Next week. the Eastern Maine Confer
ence seminary team will play in Orono
Wednesday, and Coburn Classical, Satur
day Both of the fitting schools have
strong teams this year.
Notes.
At a meeting of the freshman class, yes
terday afternoon. the following officers,
pro tenn, were elected: Pres, Adelbert
Yeaton Locke; sec, Ralph +. Lord. Ban
gor. Walter Oscar Frost of Rockland
was elected captain of the freshman base
ball team, and George Wilson of Port
land, manager Walter Albert Wood of
Gardiner, was elected manager of the
class football team. Il was considered
too early in the season TO elect captain
of the football team. so this office viii be
cIass SINH have become better Gcquaisted
with one another.
Following is complete schedule Of the
games arranged by Manager Cole:
Sept 30-Bar Harbor al Bar Harbor.
Sept 24-Eastern Maine Conference
Seminary at Orono.
Sept. 27-Coburn Classical Institute at
Orono.

Oct. 1S-Tufts College at Orono.
Oct. 25-Open.
Nov. bates at Lewiston.
Nov. S-Colpy at Orono.
Nov. 15-BoWdoin at Orono.
This schedule Of games is one of the best
that any manager of a football team
fall to carry out the listed games. a rope
tition of last years success ought to be
achieved. 1t will be noticed that Maine
has game scheduled with Harvard. Oct.
IL. and this will of course be the most
important game of the season of 1872, al
though the game with Bowdoin is always
regarded with more immediate interest by
people in this part of the State. Maine
has been given the position on Harvard
schedule formerly occupied by Columbia.
