They are having hard practice. and
for the most part secret practice, at
both Brunswick and Orono all this
week. The coaches will have both
teams in top notch form for the last
and greatest contest Of the year.
1t looks as though the field would be
soft for the great game, tomorrow,
though Whittier field after rainy
weather Is sure to be in better condi-
ton than any other college gridiron in
the State.
The word comes from Brunswick
that Stacey, the star tackle, is likely
to be out Of the game. tomorrow, with
a bad knee, which he wrenched in the
contest at Lewiston, last Saturday. His
absence will be great loss to the Bow
doin line as he is one of the heaviest
and most aggressive men in it.

tain of last years eleven, who is now OF
West Point, has been in the hospital
for the past five weeks as the result OF

the Lewiston Journal has this to say
OF last Saturdays game: But what a
glorious effect it was when the
Bowdoin contingent stood up as one
man and sang it's dear old college
