All four of the Maine colleges ap-
pear to be doing something this year
in the line of drop kicking and goals
from the field In its games against
both Kents Hill and Hebron. Colby
scored in this way through the work of
Quarterback Hammond, who has long
been recognized as am expert in this
line of play In III" game against
Prown. Halfback Keaney OF Bates
scored four points by q goal from field
and in the game with Harvard last
week Ha,flack Smith of BoWdoin
scored four points in the same way,
though through Il technicality these
We're not allowed to count. Bearce,
the big halfback on the University of
Maine eleven, is known as Il star in
getting goals from placement and ii
was his work in this line which al
lowed University Of Maine to win The
game with Colby last year. When the
Maine college games are played a
little later il is altogether likely that
some. if not all Of them will try this
method of scoring.
The L. of NJ eleven may well oe
satisfied with its Worl; at Cambridge
last Saturday. The score of l6 to o
which Harvard rolled up was only
about fla as large as the score of
last year and the Boston papers all
give the Orono eleven credit for put
ting up a good fight and making a
better showing than the Harvard men
expected.
The things which Portland High did
to Edward Little last Saturday are sad
to contemplate That score Of "a to o
in short halves is the largest thus far
of the season and is not likely to be
beaten often between now and
Thanksgiving. The Auburn boys are
light and Portland has lot of good
material which Coach Kelley has APP
parently put together in fine style.
There is rejoicing in Brunswick over
the fact that Haley, who played guard
UPON last years championship eleven,
is back IN he game again, being in the
lineup for the whole of last Saturdays
game with New Hampshire. Haley is
light man for Il guard position bat
he is extremely active and was not
outplayed by any man he faced last
wear Flr return cannot fail to streng-
then the Bowdoin line.
Next Saturday the Maine colleges
will play as follows: Bowdoin VS..
Brown at Providence. Colby VS. New
Hampshire at Portland. and U. of NJ.
vs. Fort Mckinley at Orono. Bates
will not pay upon that day, At
Providence Bowdoin will have a hard
battle but both Colby and L. of NJ.
ought to gain easy victories without
exerting themselves seriously.
Several of the Maine newspapers in
their sporting department announced
that Bates was to play Amherst last
Saturday. 1t is difficult to see whore
they got the idea. for Bates never had
a game with Amherst upon its
schedule
Portland football enthusiasts will
have a chance to see two college
games this year. First win be Colby
versus New Hampshire State College
next Saturday and then week later
Bowdoin will play Holy Cross in Port
land
In beating the L. of NJ. second eleven
last Saturday 16 to the Bangor high
boys won their third victory this sea-
son without having been scored upon.
Tommie Mccain, who has coached
Bangor high for many seasons, has
again helped out Bangor high this
year. Probably that team has the
lightest high school quarterback in the
State in Captain Ford who weighs
only 10 pounds.
\ high school team which will bear
watching is that of WaterVilla High
which wen its opening games over
Gardiner and ConY High. 1t is not
particularly heavy but it gets into the
game hard and fast, and its backs
work together with dash and per-
lection of interference which is good to
