The support Bates received in the
game was excellent. Never before has
Bates played a game away from home
where so many students accompanied
the team and where such vigorous
cheering was given in their support.
Probably Bates was never before
worked up to such pitch of enthusiasm
over football as now. The past week
has termed with mass meetings and
tie yells and cheers have gone up from
the campus almost hourly
Bowdoin's victory over Maine by a
large score makes Bates interest keen
err for now next Saturdays game at
Brunswick will be a struggle between
Bates and Bowdon for the decisive
championship Of Maine this season and
all eyes are turned toward that famous
contest.
For years Rates and Bowdoin have
not met at the close of the football
season to fight for the title to the
championship. In fact since football
has attained prominence at both Maine
and Colby it is unprecedented.
Bates and Bowdoin have always been
keen rivals. This year both colleges
nave strong snappy teams; the strong
est they have had for several years
and each is the most eager to win it
has been for years. Besides judging
from the records the two teams have
made this season there is every reason
TO believe that the comparative
strengths of the two teams is equal.
The game at Whittier field, Nov. II. is
bound to be the grandest football con-
test ever witnessed on a Maine college
gridiron
