Rarely is a game played with so lit

times. No one was injured but Miner.

Lewiston News: Buwdoin has had
many difficulties to contend with TINS
year. one or two Of their best play
ers have been out of every game Then
again the line isn't as strong as 1t
ought to be. Bowdoim is confident and
confidence is great thing III football.
Give her Il stronger front line: stir up
her ends to Il little more StrenuoSity
and let the team play as team. Then
the result will be much different.
While Bowdom is not playing the
game she VIII later ON, and her present
plaving is to be looked at with Il half
shut eye. Bowdoin goes into game
10 win. Bowdoin stock may not be
very high now, hut who last year
picked her Tor Il winner? No one and
what was the result? Bowdoin
climbed to the ton 50 steadily that it
seemed like feat of magic. Who
knows but that will be the case this
year?
ON Thanksgiving Day the olympia
Association Football Club Of Riddeford,
will come to Lewiston and play a local
club. The Olympia team is composed
OF English people. now residents of
Bddefurd and Saco. but formerly lived
in England ana played the game there.
Several of these same fellows played on
professional teams in the old country
and made their living that way. There
are now star players in Biddeford who
can easily put a very fast team in the
field Not only the English people are
interested in it but several others want
to learn tn" game aud get onto the
team. AS is we'll known association
football is entirely different from the
game as played by colleges.
Lewiston, and L. l.. H. s will play
toby. this being tho second game for
the season. The first game it will be
resulted in victory for
Auburn by score of 6 to and when
the respective weights Of the teams are
taken into consideration. it was a great
victory indeed. Lewiston Highs team
will not be so heavy this next game
and better game may be looked fo'-
although the Auburn boys are certainly
playing just as fast if not a faster
game than they did that first contest
The game will be played on the Auburn
Athletic Park. The officials will be the
same IS in the first game. Laferi'ier

The game III the Maine college series,
today. will be at Lewiston where Bates
and Colby will meet. On paper it
looks like al easy victory for Bates as
the team is both fast and heavy and is
said TO be in perfect condition. 1t
seems to be an off year for Colby foot
ball though the score by which L. of
Maine beat it, Is to 0. was not large as
was generally expected. Colby has
not an abundance Of material, and the
failure of its captain to return WAS a
handicap at the opening of the season.
Bates has more veteran players. has
fine coaching ana has been exceptional
ly fortunate i'll getting along without
having any players injured. Unless
Colby makes a brace and springs sur
prise it will probably suffer a worse de-
feat than it did at Orono, a week ago.
Bangor ana Portland will meet at
Bangor. this afternoon. for their first
game. This is one of the big school
games of the fall, but the rivalry is less
intense than II was a decade ago. The
only line upon the comparative
strength of tho elevens is from the
game which each of them played
against Lewiston High. Bangor de
featrd Lewiston High at Bangor II to
;. while Portland High defeated Lew
iston at Lewiston by u score of to o.
When ii is taken into consideration
that Bangor played Lewiston at Ban
gor and Portland played Lewiston at
Lewiston it would seem that whatever
advantage there is favors Portland
While Portland did not pile up such a
large score as Bangor High still the
Portland boys did not particularly ex-
ert themselves towards the latter end
of the game, and furthermore Portland
according to the result, exhibited great
er defensive strength than Bangor, for
Lewiston was unable to cross Port
lands goal line. while she did score d
touchdown on Bangor. The teams will
later play d second game at Portland
The big gdme of the year for Port
land will be the Bowdoin- Tufts game
this afternoon. Every seat in the
grandStand was sold. several days ago,
and preparations are being made to
handle great crowd. Both colleges
will have bands and cheering sections.

supporters. As to the result of the
game, the prophets are at sea as there
is no way to know the relative strength
of the two teams. Both are strong.

which is stronger. Bowdoin has been
very unfortunate with injuries but
