COLBY FOOTBALL.
Bates Alleged Protest Of Carey Is Fun
ny-Bates VS.. N. H. Today.

1t was matter Of surprise to Colby
men when the report came ont in the ia
pers that Rates was planning to protest
cary. This report has not been believed
as no official notice has been sent to tn.
Athletic Association by Bates. Until sucI
notice comes, n" attention will be paid
To- it by the Colby Athletic Association
Then VIII ne sufficient time to give gu,
an official statement that will answer
the charges that ii is alleged that Bates
has made. But in spite Of the unofficial
statement. considerable interest is felt
OYER the matter in college circles. tn"
general ounion is that Bates hasn't anv
reasonable grounds for her contention
Practically the same conditions arose in
tn" case Of Curtis who went from Colby
I" RoWdHn. Curtis came to Colby. join
ed the football team and played n prac-
tce game. He then dropped his college
work and returned to Il fitting school
The next year he went to Brwdoin
where he played on the Varsity. as they
claimed that he was eligible owing to
the fact that he had been in a fitting
school and came to ROwdoin from that
school and not from a college Such is
tiit East Will tflN. re went 10 Bates
for a short time and then to Kent's Hill
Since leaving Kert's Hill he has been to
no other school, but came to Colby from
there. Hence the general opinion is that
Cary will play on the team, provided he
makes it.
The Colby football team will leave Fri
day afternoon for Durham. N H. The
boys are in first-c'aSS condition and eX-
pect TO win from the n. n. State Col
lege team. Marked improvement has been
made by the team in all departments Of
the game. Smith, a former player has
returned to college and will greatly
strengthen the line. While the work of
the Colby team was ragged in places a
week ago, the coach saw what the work
was that was cut ont for him and has
been developing the weak places. Several
nights h. has kept the men out until it
was so dark that they could hardly see
the ball. Dwycr. VINO has been coaching
