THE GREAT GAME, TODAY.
Colby Figures Out the Championship If
She Wins.

Waterville, Me-, Nov. 7.-(SpeciaD.-
If Colby defeats Maine, today, she
will have clear title to the champion
ship OF the State. this year, for she will
have defeated every one of the Maine
colleges. Up to date she has won two
out of three games played with Maine
colleges and scored just three times as
many points as her opponents-33 to
H. Now before the game with Maine
is a very unfavorable time to draw
conclusions but Colby certainly leads,
and if she wins her record cannot be
touched by any other college for she
will have defeated them all. thing
not now possible for any of the others.
Bowdoin and Bates cannot make the
record for they have both been de-
feated by Colby. Maine cannot make
it because she has been defeated by
Bates and if she loses to Colby, today,
by her also. When team defeats all
of the Maine colleges it rather looks as
if it could rightly be called cock of the
walk even if it has been defeated by
one of them.
That first game with Maine has been
used to mix things up as thus far it is
the only blot on Colby's record. But
if Colby should be lucky enough to de-
feat Maine, today. by decisive score
it will show beyond doubt that she
has the better team of the two: That
first game was not fair criterion at
all. Colby had been ip practice under
coaching but week while Maine had
been at work for nearly month and
her team practically developed 1t has
doubtless improved since then but 1t
was in excellent condition then while
Colby was not in condition at all.
But it locks as if both teams would
be fit. today Both. according to the
reports. will have one regular man out
Of the game and the two men about
equal in their same relative positions.

A RADICAL CHANGE
To Be Observed in Construc-
ton of Shamrock III.
Fife and Watson Believe That They
Can Build a Winner.
An Entirely New Idea in Yachts to Be
Brought Out.

Glasgow. Nov. THE Associated
Press understands that in the Sham
rock III will be embodied some radical
departures in the matter of yacht con-
struction which have not appeared in
any previous challenger.
These changes are said to be due to
an accidental discovery made during
the trials of the Shamrock / and the
Shamrock III. which convinced Design
err Watson that there has been fund
amental error in the construction of all
the recent challengers.
This discovery was made too late to
admit Of the remodeling of the Sham
rock III. but when its nature was ex-
planned to Sir Thomas Upton ii had
great weight in deciding him to try for
the Americas cup a third time.
Both Designers Fife and Watson are
convinced that they possess solid data
upon which they will now be able to
build a yacht superior to any previous
cup racer
They are certain that they have
evolved an idea which affects the whole
theory Of the propulsion of sailing
yachts.

it is safe to say that he will go to the

Maine. for a time and will remain there
until he mas forgotten as completely as
he ever can the distressing misfortunes

The brain is composed of thousands
of little cells and these contain vital

ARE ON AN EQUAL FOOTING

Some controversy having arisen over the
relative advantages between the excursion
rates for the Ak-sar-Ben festivities In
Omaha and the Priest OF Pallas in Kansas
City inquiry was made at local passenger
Offices which proves that omaha and Ne
braska are given equal favors with Kansas
City and tributary points. The claim had
been made that the rates to and from Kan
sas City applied for a radius Of 200 miles.
while the omaha rates applied for only 100
miles.
The fact is that the Kansas City rates APP
ply to all Kansas points and points east Of
the Missouri river and from Nebraska points
where the regular one-way fare Is IS or less
for the entire festival period. October Iii.
The Ak-sar-Ben rates apply to all points
east Of the river from which the regular one
rate is S. or less and practically cover the
entire state OF Nebraska, as they apply TO
points as far west as McCook, Grant and
Hyannis on the Burlington and correspond
ing points on the Elkhorn and Union Pa
cinc. And the same arrangements are made
for points between here and Kansas City,
which places the two cities on an equal foot
ing so far as their festivals are concerned.
