o. falsity, the whole student body Is
settling down to real work. The men
are beginning to realize that eXami-

todY 10 get to work.
The Bates football team this season
failed to get the pennant but they nave
y,ayrd-Zery fast football and made a
t.r, cre.lttabe record for themselves.
,,nlv tAo tcarls have scored on Bates
siIis yrar and those two teams are
lYaryari and Bowdoin. Harvard of
course would be expected to beat 4
Maine team with ease and yet the
Eafes men are very proud of the fact
that they scored on Harvard by clean
football and several other times rushed
the ball well into Harvards territory.
Bowdoin scored one touchdown against
Eates in a long hard and we'll fought
struggle On the other hand Bates de-
reated Fort Mckinley by a large score.
Massachusetts State College by another
large score and she easily defeated
Colby and tied U. of NJ.
Manager Whittum and Capt. Allan
ran off a hare and hound" race or
paper chase last Saturday morning.
> The men who participated were dis
lance Eleu and the run was taken for
road work as 1t is part of the general
plan of the management to give the
mon steady road work as far as posi-
Bile into the winter and then to keep up
consistent indoor work II the weather
is too rough to be outside. To this end
also the distance men are taking two
and three brisk cross country runs
every week.
Last Friday evening, two of. the liter
airy societies had special programs.
One had very amusing farcical imita-
ton OF country school in operation
and the other held mock graduation.
These programs were provided to give
variation from the regular order OF
debates and musical numbers. The at
tendance at the literary societies now
Is large and the interest is always
greatest during the fall trem when the
new members are being taken in.
