Orono. Me-, Nov. 7.-(SpeciaD.-One
of the fastest games OF football will oc-
eur. tomorrow, when Maine and Colby
come together. that has been seen at
OrSno for long time. And according
to all indications the crowd will he the
largest that has ever assembled on
Alumni field. A special train contain
ing the Colby contingent and support
ers will be run from Waterville, while
Il big crowd from Bangor is planning
upon taking in the game.
The greatest interest centers about
this contest Stree that the outcome will
probably determine the championship
team of Maine.
Oct 4. Maine defeated Colby at Wa
terviile by a score of to 0, hut az the
game was played while the season was
vet young, the relative strength of the
respective teams could not be accurate
" determined. Colby has been
strengthened materially since then by
the addition of several star players.
While Names lineup will probably be
the same as when she first met Colby,
the team will be in far better condition.
Although Colby won from Bates at
WaterviIle. and then Bates turned
round and defeated the University of
Maine does not necessarily indicate
that Maine is the weaker team.
Maine is not by any means confident
of winning the game, tomorrow, but
means to enter the contest with the
RI WI a nd
to put up the best fight possible. The
team will be certainly in as good il
not better condition. Saturday. as
when they lined up against Bates. In
one department the team is stronger.
Ry putting Bearce in left half back the
back field has been strengthened con-
siderably. Bearce is a strong runner,
is quick and uses a stiff arm to good
advantage.
Two elevens We're on the field, to-
night, for the last practice before the
game with Colby.
Tho practice was necessarily light and
consisted for the most part in running
signals, catching punts, etc. Coach Rob
| inson also put in good deal of time
practicing the line. The Varsity did no
line up against the second. tonight. Dor
| ticos took part in the practice for tn
| first time this week, and although he ha
a badly sprained finger it will not proven
his playing in the game with Colby. Woo

of Bearce. who has been put into TIL
back field. These two are the Onl.
changes in Names lineup.
The mer with the exception of Sawyer
who will be unable TO play in tomorrow
game, ere in good physical condition, AM
! ought to win out. Sawyer has water o,

all right. however, and will probably pla;
