uring as an official in many OF the big
football games This year. He was
referee II the Dartmouth Williams

serve in the same capacity III the Dart
mouth Brown game.
AT this season Of the year o'clock is
late enough for football game to be-
gin. and it is hoped that Saturdays big
game will begin n that hour With
the long halves ana The many delays
there is great danger that the last part
of tie game will be played in darkness
if the game begins later than >. as
proved to be the ease last Saturday.
An unfortunate feature of last Sat
urday':; game at Orcno WAS the total
lack Of police protection on the field.
The g,idirOn was not even rOped off.
and Of course the big crowd gradually
got upon the ield. If the manage
ment had used q little rope or hired
two or three policemen. everybody
would have had IL better chance to sec
the game and the players would not
have heer interferad with.
None Of the Maine college teams will
lose many men by graduation. this
year. l.. Of NJ. will suffer the worst.
losing its center. quarterback and both
halfbac!lS. colby loses Pugslay. its
star end. and also Cotton at center.
RowGoin loses three men. center. left

Philoon, Sanborn and Finn. Bates
also loses three good men. Turner

bates has made a better record
against Bowdoin i'll football than the
other Maine colleges. OF the II games
between them. Bates has won four.
Howdoin has Won seven. as none nave
laer ties. Rowdnin has scored 219
nnin.s against 60 Ivy Bates. The VIC
tory of Bates Over. Bowdoin in 1897. by
a score Of 10 to s. was the first time the
latter had been defeated by Maine

there haze been ]? games. BoWdoln
has won Il and Colby five. while tw"
have been ties. In the Rawdoin-U. of
NJ. series there have been nine games.
Rowdoin has won six and L. OF NJ.
three.
It is q most unusual occurrence Tor
two brothers to be members of a college
eleven as is the case With the Drum
mond hoys OF the Bowdoin team. They
play the two ends and make pair
who have not been circled for long
run by any team that Bowdoin mas
met, this year. They are both light.
but are very quick and full OF ncht.
and know football from \. to H. IheY
are the sons or josiah H. bTui'H'oii''
,Jr.. the Portland lawyer. j. T.. the
cider of the two, was for two years the
captain Of the Portland High eleven.
There was a similar case on the Bates
eleven. about 70 !-ears ago. when TWO
Hanscon1b brothers played the two
tackl; positions.
Since Rowdoin beat L. of NJ by a
score of - 10 and their own team was
beaten by Bates. % 20 0. Colby men
nave not felt obliged tn offer so many
excuses AMI explanations for B"wdoih
victory by Il score Of - t" o. earlier III
the season. As q matter OF fact. .he
chief trouble with this years ''loy
eleven WAS that it vas outclasscd IL
every Department Of the game by Bow
Gojp ard Bates. 1t had some good m
diyiiurl players. but YVES W"eiu!iE
lacking IT, team work and some of lt'
new men hardly knew anything Of the
Fundamentals of tn" game. With tn"
same material AMI With good coaching.
Colby viii have Il team to be reckoned
with. next year.
