U. OF NJ. MATTERS.
Basketball Team Will Close Season,
March I.

l
University basketball team will leave
Orono Friday noon. to play series of
six games which will complete the
schedule for the season of 1906 '06.
These games include several of the best
teams in New England and the boys
| hardly expect to win many Of them.
| The games and dates are:
| Feb. 23.-ThOrnton Academy, Saco.
| Feb. 24.--N. II. State College, Dur
| ham, n. II.
| Feb. 26.-Tufts at Boston, Mass
| Feb. 27.-Rrown University at PrOvi-
dence, r. /.
Feb. 2S.-I.owen Textile School at
Lowell, Mass.
| March 1.-Holy Cross at Worcester,
Mass.
The Tufts game will be the most de-
| sirabie one to win as Maine defeated
the Medford boys by d narrow score of
| 1912 and a victory on a strange floor
| would be much more pleasing to the
| team. The games with Brown, Lowell
and Holy Cross are new to the Maine
schedule but it is hoped that a credit
| able showing can be made.
Manager HoAie will take seven play
ers with him on this trip which is one
more than was taken last year. The
players are Capt. G. S. Owen. forward.
j. G.. Scales, forward. W. II. Burke.

| are concerned. Maine has won
games from Tufts, Colby. WestbroOk,
! Taconnet Club. G';ilford ami smaller
| teams. one game was lost to Colby.
| making honors even.
The prospects at the beginning of
| the season We're not very bright and
| Capt. Owen deserves no little credit
| for developing almost an entire new
| team. -Four freshmen and two seniors
will make the final trip which augurs
well for next seasons chances.

A recent issue of the Maine Bulletin af-
| fords a deal of information concerning.
the College Of Arts and Sciences of tho
| university and outlines the courses Of
study afforded. The fact that the college
exists ut the university is somewhat
| overshadowcd by the large percentage OF
| technical students. but the enrolment is
steadily increasing. which is evidence
| that the courses offered afford oppOrtuni-
| ty for n general education and for spec
