AT meeting of the Glee Club held in
the chapel, yesterday afternoon, Philip
Dorticos, '04, was elected leader OF
the Instrumental Club. and kittredge,
'O3. leader of the Glee Club. This is
the first effort that has been made
towards reorganizing the clubs, put
now an active interest IL being taken
and with the material available from
the freshman class Il successful! season
ought to result. But few men were
lost from last years clubs by gradual
tion and as a number of old men of
ability have re-entered college this fall
the prospect of Il fine musical club
seems TO be most bright Freeman,
'O3, was elected manager at meet
inc Of the clubs. last spring. He VIII
be back to college soon and will ar
range for q series of concerts this fall.
Rehearsais will probably begin, next
week.
Fred Webber of OronO, formerly
member of the class of 1904, went to-
Bar Harbor. Tuesday. where he will
coach the Athletic Association foot
bali team Mr.. Weber played full
back on the University of Maine foot
ball team, last fall. and during the
past summer WAS Il member OF the
Lowell Mass, baseball team. lie lett
college al the end of his sophomore
year to accept the position on the
Lowell team. Mr.. Weber thoroughly
understands football in it's StricteSt
sense ana will make Bar Harbor com
pctcnt man. He has the best wishes
of success from his many friends in
this vicinity.
At q recent meeting of the executive
committee of the Athletic Association
the matter of providing a training
Ia BILE for the members of the football
team was referred to the committee
on football. The idea of celebrating
Maine night, this fall, was brought
I'D, and discussion of the date on
which it should be observed enSued.
1t was strongly proposed that it be
held on the evening on oct 81. IN
order to stimulate an enthusiasm for
the Bates game on the following day.
Bates is being regarded as Names
strongest opponent, this year, and even
now an active interest is being mani
tested toward the outcome of the game.
Bates team. from all accounts, appears
stronger than last years team and
with this view in mind the greatest eff
forts on the part of every man on the
team will be advanced to do his ut
most towards the winning of the game.
As d departure from the regular GUS
! tom. but one game will be played with
Bates. this year. and that will occur at
Lewiston. on Bates own grounds.
Last year the greatest interest CEN
tered in the game with Bowdoin, and Il
special train conveyed nearly 300 stu
dents to Brunswick to encourage the
players and cheer them on to victory.
The matter of arranging for a spec
ial to Lewiston, Nov. I. is already be
ing talked up among the student body
and it is easy to say that the idea will
be successfully carried out. Two games
will be played this year with Colby in
accordance with the old custom and
one game with Bowdoin.
BY putting Dorticos back in his Old
position of full back, and the placing of
Bearce in right half with Parker left
half. the back field has been strength

qualities make him q valuable man, al
though his lack of weight is somewhat
against him. AT full DorticoS is 1T

II is noticeable fact that with Dorti-

and they will work with the grim de-
termination and faith which is so es-
Sential to success.
The weakness, if there is any weak
ness. this year, will be in the line for
without 4 line which can hold. a strong
back field would be of little avail

Libby is another freshman who showed
up strongly IL today's game at left

position on the Varsity.
