MAINE GRIDIRoN GOSSIP.

Bangor High and Portland High meet
at Portland, today, for their second
game, and as usual it will be great
battle. Portland won the first game at
Bangor two weeks ago.
+ Gardiner High and Edward Little will
play at Auburn, today. The Auburn
team is the only one thus far, to defeat
the Gardiner boys in the nine games
they have played this fall.
1t will be 4 long time before Gardiner
High forgives Cony High for refusing
to give it an opportunity, this fall, to
wipe out its past defeats on the grid
ircn at the hands of the Augusta boys.
Three Of the Maine college elevens
will have the same captains, next fall,
as they had, this year. This is rather
an unusual occurrence as the captain is
almost always from the senior class.
Beane of RoWdoin is the only one to
graduate and will probably be succeed
ed by Philocn.
The Saco Gun club announces that
Bean and Sawyer of the University of
Maine and Hatch and Cole of the old
Thornton champions are to play upon
that team Thanksgiving morning
against Company G. of Biddeford. If
they do so it would look like a hard
chance for Company G. in fact. it looks
like walkover for the Gun club.
None of the Maine college elevens
will be badly broken up by the gradu-
| alton of the class of 1903. Bates will
lose four men Cutten, center, Cole, end.
Rounds, quarter back, and Briggs, full
back. Bowdoin loses two men Beane,
end, and Cox, tackle. Colby loses Cow
ing, full back, Roberts, guard and
Clark, tackle, and it is doubtful if
Watkins is back, next fall. The cham
| pion Maine team will lose Sawyer,
guard, Learned center, Bean, end, and
Parker half back.
! :, Most of the papers in their reports of
| the BowdoiE-B Bates game, a week ago.
had it that Bates replaced Speake at
half back when the latter's bad ankle
compelled his withdrawal from the
game. AS a matter of fact Bates has
not been in football toys since the
Bowdoin-U. of NJ. game, of October 81,
| as parental objection to his playing
obliged him to give up the game.
| Speake was replaced by Redman, a big
freshmen from Rhode Island, who is
one of the most promising youngsters
on the Bowdoin squad.
The members of the OZanan eleven in
Portland have taken lately ito fighting
among themselves, and it is doubtful if
they can stop long enough to play the
record game with the Naval Reserves
as was scheduled. The score of the
first game was to O. The row is over
the cancellation of the second game
with the En1eralds of Bangor in order
to have Thanksgiving day open for the
Naval Reserve game. Several members
OF the eleven declare that they are done
with football that they won't play Re-
serves, Emeralds nor any other team
this season.
Kents Hill would like to get at Lewis
ton High so that the preparatory school
championship could be definitely set
tied. The former has won the cham
p:onship of the academies and the lat
ter of the high schools and both have
unusually strong school elevens. The
kents Hill manager says that he has
had two games arranged with Lewis
ton, this fall, and that Lewiston has
cancelled both of them. He intimates
pretty broadly in a letter to the news
papers that Lewiston is afraid to meet
MS team. and issues a definite challenge
for Thanksgiving day game.
The Belfast High School has had an
eleven, this fall, which though light in
weight has done good work on the
field. There are not many boys in the
school to select team from, but with
the interest aroused, this year, it is
hoped that a better showing will be
made next season. The members of
the present team are as follows:
Black, center; Kilgore, left guard;
Shorey, left tackle; G. Holmes, left end;
Elwell, right guard; Condor, right
