High eleven, weighs only 50 pounds.
Bangor High has played 10 games
this fall, winning four and losing six.
Much interest centers in the Hebron
Portland game scheduled for next
Saturday at Portland.

Colby and Bates eleVens were specta-

Rowdoin won both the baseball
championship last spring and the fool

the other Maine colleges.
The score Of 81 to by which Port

tween these schools The first game
was in 1894 and y games have played.
Bangor has won II. Portland has won

and earned the cheers which We're
given them.
The Crescents Of Lewiston, who de-
feared the ROVerS Saturday afternoon,
VIII go 10 Portland next Saturday and
play the Lancasters Of that City. on
Thanksgiving Day the two teams will
meet on the South End Grounds in this
city. The CrescentS have q fast and
plucky team and although the Port
land crowd is credited with having a
hard eleven to defeat, il is thought
that the Lewiston boys will be their
match.
Bates has elected Cochran, the big
center, as captain for next year and
Colby has chosen Goode, its star half
hack, as its leader. 1t SEEMS pretty
wen understood that Higgins will
again be captain at Maine, and that
either Commins or Newman, the Bow
. doin tackles, viii be chosen t. lead
their eleven. AS both have two years
more in college it is quite likely that
one will be captain next year and one
| the year later.
Perhaps the funniest typographical
error in any report of Saturdays gone
was that in the sentence which said
| ''Thn development Of the BOWdGin
| eleven was tilnid for this game Of
! course. timed" was meant instead Of
''tinid." Four thousand spectators,
and especially the members of the
Maine eleven, are ready to make af-
fidaVit that there was nothing timid in
the WORK Of The Eowdoin eleven on
! that memorable afternoon
| Says the Bangor News: Even the
! most rabid Maine partisan could bur
feel the most prOfOUnd--if silent
admiration of the dazzling brilliancy
of BowdOin's play. 1t was speed, speed
! specialize speed that coaches pray for
and worship. Bowdoin's work for the
! first ten minutes was mediocre; the
defence was weak and offence ineffec-
tive. Then the electric current was
! turned on and to the end Of the game
the team gave am exhibition that would
have made the Carlisle Indians envi-
Gus"
Each of the Maine college elevens
will lose a few good men by gra6lua
ton. hut each Will have n strong nu-
cleus left for next season. At BoWdoin
Captain Crowley, end, Files. halfback
and Lee, fullback, are seniors and
hay" played their last game. Maine
VIII lose Miner. quarterback, and
Chase. halfback, by graduation. Colby
will lose Captain Sherburne. tackle
and Cotton. end. Bates suffers the
biggest loss in Captain Schumacher
tackle. Hull. halfback, Brown, end
and Fraser, halfback. OF course each
team may suffer other losses than those
| by graduation, but each seems sure Of
having a good quota Of veterans for ths
| 1899 lineup.
