Notes Of the Gridiron.

All the local football teams have
games scheduled for this afternoon
and the results are awaited with great
interest by all the supporters and
friends. The season is at it's height
and all teams are in perfect condi-
ton.
1.-THE big game today in which a local
team will participate is the Colby
Bates game at Lewiston and although
Colby is the great favorite at the pres
ent time, there is no telling what kind
of surprise will be sprung, when the
teams face each other. Colby is not
over confident but hopes to win.
There strongest team will be put on
the field. .Rumors from Lewiston are
to the effect that the Bates team has
been crippled and that several of the
first string men will not be in the line
up, but the local players are not put
ting much reliance IL these reports
and will fight from the nrst. Besides
the Colby players and large band of
students, many Waterville fans Will
accompany the team and they expect
to witness a good game. The train
will leave this city at 9 in the morning.
The Waterville High team will face
Kent's Hill on the later's gridiron this
this afternoon and while it is not eX-
nected that the boys will win, they Will
do their best to make the game lively.
Coburn was defeated by Kent's Hill
two weeks ago by the score of 10 to
and the relative strength of Coburn
and Watervile may be compared al
ter this contest. Many changes have
been made in the lineup of the High
school team by Coach McGraw and
all have been beneficial. The exact
lineup was not known Friday but
many substitutes will be taken and will
probably be given a chance to play.
Those who remain in the city Will
have the pleasure of witnessing fast
prep school game between Coburn
and Maine Central Institute of Pitts
field. Coburn is out to win and accord
ing to their past record this season
will put a strong team in the field. The
players are being coached by keppel
of Colby, who is developing many can
didates. In the past two games the
team has been closely watched and al
though inexperienced at the opening
of the season, promises to make many
of the best teams in the State hustle
before the season closes. The game will
be called at o'clock and good game
is assured to all who attend.

ANICABLE END
TO LIBEL CASE
Suitof John E. Bean Against
The Washington Times
Settled BY Agreement.

The libel suit of Lieut. John q. Bean.
of the District National Guard, fled In
the District Supreme Court against The
Washington Times. growing out of "a
publication i'm The Times of July o. 1907
has been dismissed, the matter having
been amicably arranged by an agree
meut between the parties. by the terms
OF which Tie Times, after a full investi-
cation f the facts, has agreed to, and
now gladly does, make the amende
honorable.
The original publication stated that
Lieutenant Bean had left Camp Ordway
Gin disgrace" having been ordered to
Washington after breach of discipline,
and that, while his commission had not
been revoked by court-maTtial. it was
likely that his resignation would be
rendered.
While it is true that Lieutenant Bean
was detached from caEIp and ordered
To return to Washington on account
of a technical breach OF the guard
manual, his temporary detachment from
duty was not considered by the com
handing general or other officers of the
guard I'm any sense a disgrace, "a court
martial OF Lieutenant Bean was never
held or contemplated, nor was 1t ever
suggested 20 him, nor did he ever have
any idea OF resigniug, and his standing
iu the National Guard was not affected
i'm the slightest degree by the incident.
The former Times article also stated
Lieutenant Bean is said 10 have
taken two days leave from camp, and
It is also averred that he used
his shoulder straps as a means to
procure an invitation to a young lady
who came To camp to visit one OF the
uOn-cUmmissioned officers on General
Harries' staff"
The first part Of this statement is cor
rect, Lieutenant Bean having received
regular permission for two days absence
from Colonel Ourand, Of his regiment,
but the latter portion is entirely with
cut foundation Lieutenant Bean having
been introduced 20 the young lady u
question by Chaplain Dudley of the Ma
LDual Guard.
The Times is glad TO repeat. as fl
stated I'm the article I'm question, that
Lieutenant Bean is a popular officer lr
the Guard. and takes this occasion &c
say that il is always glad, as In this
case, TO correct any erroneous state
meuts, whether as TO the facts OF as
10 the manner OF their statement.
