Biddeford Journal:-Tne football rules
NAV have been modified In the interest
Of safety to Efe and limb. but in the pic
lures appearing in the papers the heroes
OF the gridiron appear to be Just as Zero
cious and hloodthirsty as they were be-
fore the rules were changed. This Is du"
to the fact that the costume remains the
same.
II Is a little unfortunate that the Bow
dmn-Colby game at Brunswick and tho
Rates-U. Of NJ. game at Lewiston fall on
the same day. November 10. Many Low
iston enthusiasts would like to s.e the
game at brunswick and many from
Brunswick would naturally go to tn
same at lewiston II there was not
game at home. 1t will cut down the at
tendance at both games.

game. Harvard got one touchdown and
goal from the field: In the u. of NJ. game.
three touchdownS, In the Bates game
four touchdowns and a goal from the
hcid But Bates had the satisfaction OF
scoring. as II did last year and does not
mind the larger score against IT
That score by Bates against Harvard
has caused the football men in the other
Maine colleges to realize that they NAV
not have such a snap they have fig
Nred on when they meet Rates this fall.
The Lewiston aggregation is light and
largely Of new material. but II is plainly
very fast and Is quick to take advantage
