BrunSWicli Ne, Oct. 1S.-(SpeciaD.-
The lsowdoin football team went
through its last secret practice, to-
night. before the great game with COL
by ON the Whittier Athletic field, to-
morrow afternoon. Tie practice was
OF a light nature in order that the men
may he in the best possible physical
condition for the great battle.
There is great interest in the gama

The feeling here. tonight. is one of
intense interest. Indeed. it is prOba bic
tnat few of the Maine college games.
either IN baseball or football has ever
arous "a such keen interest as exists at
I;owdoin. tonight. Ii is felt that 50 fa:'
us il is possible for Il human being to
judge the outcome. that the chances
are ls near even. r not nearer than in
any contest that has ever taken place
in Maine college athletics. OF course.
this does not mean that one team or
the other may not easily win; such
things often happen when least expect
ed. 1t docs mean. however that SD far
as anything OF the sort may he Judged
in advance. that the outlook is for Il
battle royal between the two college
teams.
Bowdnir will go into the game with
grim dctt rninatton and will give "a
snlenuil exhibition ol college spirit. as
she always does in victory and defeat.
All the students will gather before Me-
mortal hull at 1.30 for mass meeting,
after which they will form in line and
march to the field, as was done, to-
night. The student body will sit to-
gcther in the big gramdStand. and it is
safe to say that the magnificent new
grand stand will be iIlled with more
cheering, tomorrow. than at any time
since its construction.
1t is also expected that there will be
one of the biggest crowds ever seen
here. not excepting that of the Maine
Rowdnin game of last year. A spec
ial train will come from Waterville
and it is stated. tonight, that there is
to be il special train from Portland
bearing football enthusiasts from the
Forest City. There will unquestion-
ably be large numbers of lovers of the
game from other directions.
There is not the least feeling of over
contid danca manifeSt mere. 1t might be
that such would be the case
as tile result OF Colhr's poor showing
against kent's Hill, last Saturday.
Such is not the case. The student body
feels almost to man that BOWdOin
has got to play football from start to
finish in order to win, and that only
grim 'letermina ton will count. 1t is
known that t<ent's Hill has one of the
best-if not the E"st-preraratory
school teams that ever stood IN the
State. and if Colby with a somewhat
crippled team did not succeed in roll
ing up a big score. it does not by any
means indicate thar her team is a weak
one.
The exact lineup Of the BoWdoin
team cannot be definitely stated, to-
night. one or two of the positions III
the line are really uncertain, as the
men who are candidates are ABOUT even
in their ability and knowledge of the
game. and which ma" viii go in may
not he decided until the last minute.
The lineup will probably be about as
follows, however
Left end J. r. Drummond: left tackle
Finn: left guard. Sanborr or Mitchell;
center. Fhiloon; right guard. Hatch;
righ: tackle, HawkesWorth Or Garce-
Ion, right end, W. Drdnmond; quarter
brck. McGraw: left half back. Chap
man; right half back. Kinsman Or
Sreal<a: fun back, Curtis. blanchard
or Puilen.
