Judson G. Briggs, Bates. %. who is
: assisting in the coaching this week
made an eloquent appeal to the Bates
! spirit asking that every man go 20
Brunswick and cheer next Saturday.
Among the others who spoke We're
Professor Clark. Manager De Meyer
and Wayne Jordan, the leader of the
/ cheering.
It is certain that the students intend
to do their part toward putting up
good fight and leave nothing that may
contribute to victory undone The stu

a band. leaving Lewiston at 200 Re
sides the Bates students there will h''
a large crowd of city people accom-
pany the team and it is sure that the
largest crow that ever went to Bruins
wick 10 see Bates and Bowdoin play
will be- on hand. Saturday.
1t has been estimated that ten thouS-
and people will attend the game. Fully
one thousand will go from Lewiston
and many of the alumni Of the colleges
from all New England will b.. present.
Bates is not in the best OF condition
for the game. Several of the players
! nave been out of practice most of til"
week with injuries and although
Thursday all We're in the game for
, signal practice it looks as though Bates
We're not playing as fast snaFpy foot
I ball as earlier in the season.
On the whole chances of victory seem
I to favor Rowdoin. Pets are standing
two t. one on the latter college. Bow
dom has the snap and tn" weight and
has superb team work. Probably her
team is the strongest it has ever been
IN the history Of football. Bates on the
other hand although snappy and well
, trained in team work lacks weight ana
il is likely that they Will be unable to
hold Ruwdoin's invinrible charges and
| fast .nd runs. Besides the Bowdoin
men are iii condition superior to
l;ates.
TIL. scores the two teams have mai"
against other colleges would also indi-
Y cate a slight superiority on III" part Of
