THE MAINE CONTINGENT
Will Be Strongly Backed and Fight for
Points.

OrOnO, SHlS dlleIHcoH' loI WdlcINHle,
accompanied by Manager Grove and
Coach Farrell, to compete IN the 10th
annual intercollegiate athletic meet,
held on College field Saturday after
noon.
With one exception the men are all
in perfect condition, and represent the
best athletic team that the university
has turned out in it's history. This ole
exception is Lawrence, the two-miler.
On account of the late season the team
has been on the outdoor track but a
little over two weeks, and for this rea-
son is not so well developed indiyldu-
ally as it should be, and the team as
a whole is not so well trained as that
which competed at Brunswick, last
year. This is not by any means the
fault of Coach Farrell; rather the ex-
| cellence of the material that will take
part in the games, tomorrow, can be
attributed to his good judgment and
tireless efforts.
Maine does not expect to win the
meet; those intimate with the team
this year consider the chances even.
