The Lewiston correspondent of the
Boston Globe, Bates man, thus sum-
'narizes the Maine college football sea
son: THE football season of the Maine
colleges being ended the followers of the
game are indulging in their usual pas
time of making>up "All- Maine teams.
The -four teams We're unusually evenly
matched this year, no one standing
out prominently as the undisputed
champion. The concensus of opin-
ion here. as we'll as elsewhere in the
state. is that on the whole record for
the season Bowdoin is probably enti-
tied to the first position There Is a
feeling at Bates. however, that their
team was beaten by Colby by an un-
fortunate and regretable decision of an
official in imposing penalty. which
they claim was illegal For this reason
the Bates students. though conccding
that BowdDin is entitled to first place
on the records of the teams, have no
fault to find with the showing of their
team. but consider that it was really as
good as any of them"
