AT BATES COLLEGE.
Interest Centers IN Game With Mass
College, Todav-CoiIese Notes.

Lewiston, Me. oct. 20.-(SpcciaD.-
The interest ccntcrS at Bates around
the game to be played with Massachu-
sctts state College on Garcclon field,
Saturday afternoon. Bates played q
commcndabl" game against Harvard
ana she was justly pleased at the re
suit but there is no feeling anywhere
among coaches, players or students
that Bates Will have an easy thing OF
it on that account on the other hand
Bates realizes that every game from
now on will be hard, well contested
battle.
The record OF the Massachusetts
State College for the year, has been
such as to warrant the belief on tho
part Of Bates, that the visitors will be
able to play fully as fast ball as any
Maine college can put up. Williams
only beat the MasSac chuSctts College.
1910. Dartmouth, 1S-0 Brown, $50,
all these teams are very strong ana
ii is evident that team that can hold
them down to close scores is Il worthy
opponent for any Maine team. Bates
knows that today's game will only be
won by the hardest kind of clean foot
ball playing.
The practice has been stiff all the
week. Tho men have been showing
up in good form but the work has
been more or less handicapped by
various minor injuries. IT is hoped
that all the regular varsity men will
be in the game, today, for at least a
part nf the time.
Friday noon an enthusiastic mass
meeting was held by the Undergrad
yates ana the different college cheers
were rchcnrscd i'll preparation for to
days game.
The following is the lineup:
Mahoncy, 10; Foster. It; Johnson, IL;
/ Frcuch ana ThurSt0n, G; jackson, rg;
SchCrmachcr and Jackson. rt; Hol-
man ana Doyle rs; Kendall, lhb; Con-
nor and Philipps, fb; Davis and
Fraser. RIB.
An unusual amount nf interest too
has been aroused in track work this
fan owing 10 the fact that Il fall meet
has hcon arranged between the Hatcs'
freshmen ana the members Of the on
tcring class at Bowdnn. This meet
will be held in Brunswick ana will
4 bc pulled off tn" first Of Nn|cmbcr
although the actual date has not been
definitely settled yet. 1t was felt that
Il meet like this would b" an advan-
taCc to the college inasmuch as it
would stimulate the freshmen to work
On tho track carly in their course and
| So bn apt to dcvelope new material to
an extent not possible by the ordinary
means.

the next inter-class meet will bc III

track meet is at Bates and Bates is
hoping to work out some good ma
tcrial for that meet from the fall work
with the freshmen.

pleasure the changed appearance ot
Parker hall. The men who room
there now and the older mon who

| Rand. New hard wood floors have
been laid throughout, electric lights
have been put in all tho rooms, show
or baths have been installed in th'

Cd and painted and, in short, tho
. whole dormitory has been thoroughly
renovated.
