was necessarily unsatisfactory 10 every
body. People in general expected Maine
to win out, and there is no real good
reason why Maine should not have TRIM
ned Bates except that the team was out
played by the Lewiston collegians. Tho
Bates game was by far the poorest exhi-
bition of football given by Maine this
year. The men. for some reason. seemed
to lack their usual SNAP. and all interior
ence was decidedly lacking. If they had
played as well as they did in either the
Tufts or the Holy Cross game they would
certainly have shown the Lewiston peo-
ple an entirely different phase of foot
ball But they did not do themselves jus
tlce so that Maine is now one step far
Their from and Bates one step nearer the
championship for 1906.
The Bates season closed with the Maine
game. but Maine still has a chance TO
at Orono. If Maine WINS this game she
will be tied with Bates for the champion
shin. while il Bowdo5n is victorious the
remnant goes to Lewiston. Owing to the
fact that the Bowdoin team seems to be
badly crippled at present the odds are all
in favor of Maine; but as was shown
Saturday. football is an uncertain game
and it is not always the best team that
wins. If Maine wins out against Bow
dom the chances are that the tie with
Bates will never be played off, for the
Bates team will not keep in training a

weather conditions Coach Mccoy Will do

parative scores could be relied upon
Maine would have q snail advantage over
