thus summarizes the big game that
closed the Maine college season: From
| the first five minutes of play it was
very clear to the spectators that Bow
dom possessed the superior eleven and
| the size IF the score seemed the
question at issue. The score hardly
| indicates the better play of the Bruins
wick eleven which outplayed it's ad-
versaries at nearly all the departments
of the game. Bowdoin gained ground
constantly in rushes while Maine was
many times held for downs. Maine,
on the contrary, could rarely make her
distance and had to resort constantly
to punting which, while keeping down
BOWdoin'S score could not add points
FOR the home team. Maine should have
scored early in the first half and prob
ably would mad a fleld goal been tried
when the ball was directly in front of
BowdOin's goal. However the backs
were sent into the line and could not
make their distance. In comparing the
work Of the two teams, Eowdoin's play
ing was decidedly superior. The
Brunswick eleven MAIDS more con-
sistent gains, and followed the ball
better on side kicks than did the home
team. Names loss may be attributed
to poor generalship at times, and the
inability to gain through the Bowdon
line at critical points. Rowdoin's
team work was good, and the inter
fefenCH at times was almost perfect.
individually the Maine players showed
up strong. but the interference was

The Russian joke Teller.

Story telling and TESTING have al
ways been counted the favorite amuse-
ments Of semibarbaric people. To the
first we owe the arabian Nights"
and to the second the clowns, who
were formerly the appendage Of all
great houses. In Russia the paid
joker still flourishes, and the people
pay so much an hour to listen to his
jokes and witticisms. He provides
himself with two or three hundred
tickets, and, mounting sort Of ros-
trum, he announces that he is going
to regale his audience with choice It'd
bits of mirth provoking lore He be-
gins selling tickets at penny each,
and when he has sold enough to war
rant his beginning he turns himself
loose, and the audience remains spell
bound by his humorous stories for an
hour or two. A recent traveller who
saw number of these jokers In st.
Petersburg says, II listened to them
several times, and, although I could
not understand one word the joker
said was sure from the way the au-
dience greeted his stories with roars
OF laughter that the Jokes were above
the average"
