closes its season with it's game with
Bovdoin and regards that contest as
the big game Of it's schedule to which
is directed every effort that will bring
victory or creditable showing. 1t
is known there has been Shake-up at
| brunswick, this week. and the effect on
| the team remains to be seen. This
| will be the Goth game between Bowdoin
and Colby since they first met on the
| gridi:on in 1892. OF the 10 games al
ready played, Bowdoin has Won II and

George S. McCarty. Esq. one of the
official timers at the Bates Colby game
on Garcelon Field, Saturday afternoon,
| had an experience that greatly amused
his friends. 1t all happened in this
way. One of the Bates boys had the
bali and was taking it into Colby's
territory at Il rapid gait. The Colby
men two or three of them at least were
considerably excited They knew they
didn't have the ball themselves, but
they weren't quite sure who did.
Whether they mistook the timers
watch for the pig-skin will never be
known but before Timer McCarty
knew what had struck him. he was
kicking in the dust with two Colby
men trying to hold him. If George had
not cried out down or the referee in
terfered the Colby men might still be
sitting on the Bates timer with the
happy thought that they had the man
with the ball, but the referees whistle
sounded. Then the Colby men discov-
. cred their mistake and were profuse i'll
their apologies to Mr.. McCarty who
t was still unconscious of the joke.
However, he congratulated the Colby
, men On their effective tackle work and
suggested that if they had only
thought to have tried it on some of the
Bates team earlier in the game. it
might have made things more interest
ing all around.
Will Bates or L. of Maine win the
. big game over at Orono, this after
noon? Some of the newspaper writer's
have it all "dopcd' out one way and
, some another. Each team is confident
of victory and it can easily be figured
f out on paper that either team is sure
to win. Both teams are heavy and
f fast. both are in fine physical condition
{ and both are fortunate in having
, splendid coaching. this fall. Maine
has had several of its best men injured
!. earlier i'll the season but all will
be back in the game today. Maine
T has the larger squad and so has more
good substitutes to call upon il
Needed. The game will be at
i Ornno and this gives the home
p team some advantage. The Bates
l. eleven and many rooters will &c
. over on a special train this morning
I The game between these two colleges
= last year. was won by Bates while
Maine won in 1903. Both teams have
II beaten Colby, this fall, Maine by the
= score of IS to 0. and Bates by the score
y of IS to 0. The team which loses, to-
IL day. will be out of the championship
Il race while the winner will have to &C
II up against Bowdoin to fight it out foi
final konors. Il will be a great game
and a large crowd will witness it.
Since last Saturdays game at Port
land when Tufts beat Bowdoin 10 to {
il d great struggle before 1000 people
there has been something doing at
Brunswick, and the Bowdoin team en-
$ ters upon its series with the other
i Maine colleges as something of an I'M
s known quantity. Several changes
. have been made in the line ami new
$ coaches have been secured. With
I only four or five of last years cham
I rionship eleven back. with a dearth of
5 heavy line material and with Captain
n Chapman and other good players on the
= injured list since the first week of
Q practice. the problem before Coach
t Barry has been a difficult one, and one
o tn which he has not shown himself
= wholly equal. But now that several
5 good alumni coaches have been called
t in to assist him, the outlook is more
i promising. At the best the Bowdoin
|. line must be much lighter than that of
7 the other colleges, hut it has the best
n set OF backs in the State and with good
e coaching and the assistance of the ia
a nous Bowdoin fighting spirit which has
figured in so many victories, the eleven
: will be one not to be reckoned out OF
+ it when the championship is talked
d ABOUT. Some of the advance claims
}. sent out by supporters of the Other
a elevens are likely to sound extremely
I foolish when the season ends. Bow
