brunswick, Me-. Nov. 25.-(SpeciaD.-
Bowdoin College is now again beginning
70 prepare for the baseball season.
Work will begin in the cage over
Memorial hall Immediately after the
THANKSGIVING recess and a large squad
is expected to turn out. The work will
continue throughout the winter and
spring until the ground is in shape for
out of door practice. An effort is being
made to re-engage John Erwin. lasi
seasons baseball coach. for coach for
the comm. season. All will remember
the champion team he turned out last
wear which won every game in the
Maine college championship series and
defeated Harvard. neither of which had
eyer been done before by Name col
lege before. If John Erwin can be sccur-
ed with the good material now in col
leee another championship team should
result.
The Freshmen have made 4 request
to be allowed to have basketball
team to play outside games during the
coming winter. but the request has been
refused by the Athletic Council. There
are several men in the Freshmen class
who were stars in basketball in their
preparatory schools and good team;
could no doubt be formed. The Athletic
Council thought that as basketball has
never been played at BOwdOin it was
not advisable for the Freshmen to be
allowed to start team under the name
of the college. especially as there are TO
facilities for be sketball at Bow1oin.
An ice hockey rink is being put up on
Whittier field and as soon as the wealth
er becomes cold enough will be put int"
commission. Last year Il hockey team
was formed rather late in the season
and did excellent work. This year it is
planned to have all in readiness when
the season opens and another winning
team is expected to be organized.
Nearly all of last years team will he
out for this wears team and besides
these there are several experienced
hockey players in the Freshmen class
who are expected to make good. Games
will probably be arranged with Har-
ward. Dartmouth. Maine and other col
leges, and much interest is sure to he
shown in this sport. which is compare
lively new to Maine colleges.
Today the Sophomore and Freshmen
teams put in their final practice before
the football game which will take place
