team was in a most demoralized con-
dition and that it was doubtful if she
| could win a game on her schedule.
While it may turn out that such is
the case, as far as there is the state
ment concerns BowdOin's eleven being
demoralized and discouraged, nothing
can be further from the truth Inc
fact of the case is that BoWdoln's cour-
age is as good, if not better, tonlght
than it has been at any time TINS year
That the team has so far TINS seasoi

denied. Man after man has peefi ou'
of the game and not until the hiiouie
of this week has straight nrst team
been in the practice. But no" 'iie
prospects are Frightening and II Is
saving no more than the facts war;
rant. that the team is in good form
and that its prospects are GOOD.
| If is interesting to note, In connec-
| tion with the statement OF newspaper
nrophets, a majority of whom, it would
he safe to say, have not seen the bow
doin team play, a game this year, II
even they ever saw q game anywhere,
iudging from some of the ''informa-
ton" they so graciously volunteer.
The talk of the past week resembles
the statements that appeared a year
ago, during the football season, the
ma jority of the prophets of Maine, who
expressed themselves in print, volun-
teering that Bowdoin did not have a
ghost of a show long before the season
was over. Yet BowdOin won out with
ease. The same was true last spring
in baseball and track, and it was 4
common statement i'm the public press
that BOwdOin was down and out i'll
both these fields of activity long be-
fore the events took place. Yet twas
otherwise after the contests were over,
and Bowdoin won all three champion
ships despite all the prophets" could
do.
Now Bowdoin men are in no way
disposed to argue from this that Bow
doin is to win the football champion
ship this year. She may and she may
not. But as far as conceding defeat
and being demoralized is concerned, II
is all as ridiculous as it is untrue.
AS already said the team has had
hard luck in several ways. Her best
men have been out OF the game from
time to time, and whatever of luck
there may be in football, those who
have watched the team closely feel
that she has had the major share. In
the Tufts game in particular was this
true. Two fumbles spoiled BOwdoin's
chances of winning the game, and good
football authorities believe that if they
had not occurred the result would have
been far different.
There was weakness shown in GER
tain positions, and it is believed, to-
night, that these weaknesses have been
remedied during the past week. There
has not been, however, "shakeup' to
any great extent, simply one or two
changes that are likely to be made
with any team at any time.
The team has worked hard during
the week and three coaches have been
handling the men. Coach Barry, who
has been handling the men through the
season being assisted by Fogg, '02, and
|OSullivan, a former Holy Cross play
er, who is now handling the line. Capt.
Chapman and Fullback Blanchard have
been in the scrimmage during the past
week, both of whom were out of the
game with Tufts, and this has made a
great difference in the work of the
team.
The lineup with Colby, tomorrow,
will probably be as follows: j. Drum
mond, left end; Hatch, left tackle;
Hawkesworth, left guard; McDade,
| center; Powers. right guard; Stacey.
right tackle; w. Drummond or Crow
| ley left end; Blair or Bass. quarter
back; Chapman. left half back;
| Blanchard, fullback. and Hafford, right
| halfback.
AS will be seen about the only
| change is the putting of Hatch into
| tackle position and Powers into his
former position at guard. This change
is not a radical one, and is one that
has been contemplated from the first
Of the season. McDade will play at
center if nothing happens. notwith-
| standing reports to the contrary.
