Record-breaking Crowd Expect

Great Game Expected and Money Plen
tifuI on Each Team.

Brunswick, Me-, Nov. 17.-(SpeciaD.-
The final arrangements for the last and
greatest game in the Maine football
championship have been completed
The marking OF the field, the placing
of many additional seats, and the end
less details which are necessary to the
comfort of the hundreds that are eX-
pcc,cd TO be ON hand, tomorrow after
noon, have been all attended to, and
50 far as can be judged, tonight, there
is nothing left undone which might add
to the pleasure of the great contest
which is expected Manager SewalI
has been tireless i'm this work, and If
there should be anything lacking in the
arrangements it cannot be laid at his
door.
The feeling here, tonight, Is that u
will be q great game. Bowdoin is by
no means confident of winning; She
feels certain that Maine has a strong
toam-heavy, well coached and deter
mined On the other hand, there IS no
feeling of discouragement-oniy deter
rnination to do the best possible III

at even lnoney-with a possible shade
in favor Of Maine.
To sneak of the team itself and what
it has accomplished during the past
week would be guessWork entirely
Though some enterprising newspaper
man may volunteer information in TINS
connection, it is safe to say that no one
outside of the coaches and IL or u men
know what has been accomplished, and
these are not making statements for
publication. To say anything further
than that they have worked hard and
have doubtless received the most care
full instructions would be going beyond
what is known.
In addition to the regular afternoon
work on the Whittier field the team has
met in the gymnasium for short work
for the past three evenings, where
short and light work has been given
the men. What has been done here is
also unknown.
One thing that detracts from Bow
doil's prospects is the fact that Stacey
will probably not be able to play. 1t
was thought the first of the week that
he would be able to do so. but his knee.

game. has seemed to grow worse in
stead of better. AS a result there will
probably be a change in this position
lie is one of the strong men of the
team and if he doesn't play his loss is
one that will be felt.
AS to exactly how the team VIII line
up is uncertain. though one may in 4
general way give the lineup. Never
theless, the positions given out may not
hold true when the whistle blows. and
the Varsity may perhaps be ii different
one than faced Bates u week ago.
Arrangements have been completed
for seating the Maine party on the
bleachers on the west side of the field.
while extra seats have been provided
about the gridiron in varinls places.
1t will probably be the biggest crowd
ever seen at a Maine football game.
The lineup will probably be some
thing like this: ]. Drummond, left end;
Haley, left tackle; Davis or Hawkes.
