Football Enthusiasts Are Enthusiastic.

Brunswick, Me-, Nov. 3.-(SpeciaD.-
The physical examination which every
freshman who enters Bowdoin is re-
quired to take, has just been completed
for the class Of 1908 The taking OF
these examinations usually begin
shortly after the opening of the fall
term and consume a number of weeks
before the work is entirely completed.
VI course. it would be possible to do
the work in very short time If the
members OF the entering class We're
; taken at once and were examined be-
fore they did anything else. 1t is not
conducted in any such way. however,
as the freshmen have studies and 9TH
er things to take up their attention
anu the work of physical examination
consequently lasts for an extended
length of time.

The football atmosphere at BOwdoin
seems TO be unchanged from that of the
pest few days. except perhaps in that
the feeling is more intense. The team
has been having secret practice during
the last three days, so that there is
nothing definite known as to whether
there is any change in the lineup or the
tactics within that time. 1t is said by
the wise ones, however. that every
thing is about the same as in the game
with Brown and that the team is show
ing very marked improvement over the
first of the week.
More or less interest was created, to-
day. when some one placed an edito-
rial from the Maine campus. the Uni
versity of Maine College paper. on the
bulletin board which exhorted the
Maine team to play the game of it's life
against BOwdOin and stating that a
victory over the Bowdoin team would
be more pleasing that over any team in
the Maine colleges This put more gin
ger in the men in college than ever.
making them feel more than ever-if
possible-what a great battle is on at
Orono Saturday afternoon.
A number of Bowdoin men will leave
for Orono, tomorrow, so to be on the
scene and size up the situation before
the day of the game. The rank and
file. Of course. will not go until the Sat
uriay morning train.
A paper has been in circulation on
the campus. today, for the securing of
subscriptions to defray the expenses of
the College Band to go to the game and
there was no difficulty in getting sub
scribers, and there is no doubt but that
the strains of familiar BowdOin airs
will be heard at Orono-win or lose.
Mandolin Club work is making good
progress at the present time. P. F.
Chapman, leader Of the club and who
has the work in charge, is trying the
men out at the present time and Is able
. to form some idea as to what the ciuD
will be like. There are large num-
Der of vacancies, this year. and this
means that it is an excellent opportu-
nifty for new men to make the club. The
men now out are Eaton. 'o5: Hender-
