and HawkesWorth. ,'06 both of whom
have made the team in the past, ard
will doubtless do so quite easily, this
year.
The team VIII be light There are
no especially heavy men in the line
.s.... IN .>5 -1 il ee..s robable that
tH.- u. ii rot be far different from
Lust OF last year in weight. This will
make the line the weakest part of the
team, although there is no reason to
believe that it will be weak only by
comparison with the backheld. which
will probably he the strongest for a
long time For these backfield posi-
tions there are a number of candidates
and the best thing about it is the fact
that they are fast men i'll each in
stance.
Take quarterback. for instance.
There are three men out for the posi-
tion, each one Of which is good enough
for any ordinary Maine college team.
Blair, 'O9, is beyond doubt the man
likely b. make the position. as he
comes from SomerTille High. where he
made an cnviable record. and more
that that he is showing signs of being
the right man in the right place At
Rowdoin. He apparently has the head
and agility for fine quarterback and
there is no reason to doubt that his
position will be one of the strong ones
on the team. Another man who is out
for the position and who is showing up
finely is Greene '09. who is also q new
man in college. He, too, has the re-
uuired qualities and will doubtless be
taken into consideration during the
season The third man is Bass, o.
who was substitute quarter. last year,
and who is in first-Class form, this fall.
At fullback there are three good men
out in blanchard, who has already
| been mentioned as being one or the Old
men, Greene '0S, 4 Bridgton boy who
is to be reckoncd with, and Adams, 'OI,
who entered college, this fall, from
Annapolis. They are all good men.
For the two halfback positions there
arc number of very promising men. To
begin with there is Captain Chapman,
already mentioned, and who needs no
introduction to Maine football lovers.
Then there is Redmond, '07, who has
played backncld in his freshman year
and who is now i'll the game again.
Another very promising man is GaStOn-
sIdN, w, WHO II At htlll , IlllN iIleIIl anu
who is showing up very we'll indeed.
| Three other good men are Lee. 09, q
| big freshman who knows the game,
Gray, 'G~, and Leighton. '0S, the last two
| m"rtioucd being very good men.
Resides the men mentioned. there
arc also a number of new candidates
| for line positions which are very likely
| to make the team when the real con-
tests come. Among them may be mem
| toned Thomas, 90 who IS out for Cel2-
ter and who is doing good work. Pow
| crs, '07, is yet another good man who
is out for center
For the guard positions Butterick,
| O7. is one of the men who seems Il very
likely substitute to play along with
Hatch and Hawkcsworth. For the
tackle positions stacy. '03, Of SOmer-
| vile High is probably the most prom
ising. He is IL big man and has played
i'll preparatory school, where Il" made
a good showing. Other likely men are
| Davis 'OS, and Bridge. '09.
The end positions have :; number of
| candidates. Tnc Drummond brothers
will have opposition III some very good
| men. Among these may he mentioned
| Mantcr. %. who seems To be good
man. Webbcr brothers. '07. who enter
| the college from the Medical School,
this fall. Crowley, '0S, u first-class man.
| and Roberts, o.
This review. Of course, is only a
y rroh'einat teal one, as the real test OF
those nen will come when they play
b. .r . K es. But as already men
Iored, the large amount Of promising
raw material makes the prospects ap-
pear very good.
