Bates WILL PLAY HARD
GAME AGAINST COLBY.

| Lewiston. Me. Oct. 20-(SpeciaD.-
The Bates Colby game on Garcelon
field next Saturday will be the 18th
time these teams have met. Or the Il
games played Bates has won 10. tied
1 and lost 6. For the past two years
Colby has defeated Bates in games
that have always left a great zeal of
controversy as to the better team even
| after the game was over. Prior to these
games odds had in both cases favored
| Bates. This year the situation is slight
w reversed and it is now the lighting
desire of every Bates man that the re
suit will also be reversed. Bats knows
thta Colby is strong. An inspection OF
the records of the two colleges in their
games plaved thus far ii&cOSeS some
interesting material for the dope ar
fists.
Bates has played five games. The
score in the game last Saturday was
not properly reported. The officials an
nounced that New Hampshire State
did not get safety. Bates scores then
| are as follows:
Bates 0, Fort Mckinley 0; Bates Is,
|
0, Brown Il; Bates 16, N. ii. State 0;
total, Bates 81, opponents Is.
| Colby has played four games and has
been victorious in all of them. Her
scores follow:
Colby II. kent's Hill 0; Colby II, He
bron 5; Colby 10, Tufts o; Colby Is,
Fort Mckinley 0; total, Colby 50, OPP
ponents 8. ''t s''ti
1t will be seen that Bates kept He
bron from scoring, defeating her by
about the same score as did the Wa
tervlle college Bates second team won
from Kent's Hill which held Colby
down to two touchdowns. Bates could
not defeat Fort Mckinley while Colby
put them away Is to 0. Bates Will have
a great mass meeting Thursday even
ing The officials will not be an
nounced until Saturday.
When asked today what he had to
say about the game with Colby on
Saturday, Coach Purinton replied:
I'VE are not going to do much talking.
Our men will tend to that out here ION
the field next Saturday.. They are
working hard / have never known q
team or in fact Bates squad to work
better. They will play a hard game.
You might say that although out
weighed. we expect to put up credi-
table game against Colby"
This is the first that has been said
| about the weight Of the teams Colby
has a heavy line and q heavy set OF
backs That their backs are speedy
there is no doubt. Bates backs and
ends are also speedy AS far as tackles
go, it is doubtful if there is set of
tackles in the State that can equal
the Andrews brothers for all round
ability. Dorman is also considered a
fast and aggressive center. Bates
guards have been continually chang
ing owing to the short absence of some
of her players during the first part of
the season. Safe to say she will have
two heavy and aggressive men picked
out of the bunch who are trying hard
for those two positions. This bunch
includes the fast Freshman, Dacey, al
so Jecusco. the Sophomore, and Car
rol, who has been member of the
VARSITY squad for the past three years
Captain Cummings did not care to
make any statement before the game
l"Were going to play football and Col
by will finl that out whether she wins
or loses Saturday." Safe to say here
is one man who will play football and
if his work is anything like that which
he has exhibited for the past three
Years, during which time he has been
accorded a position on the All-Mainc
team that he will set fine example
for his eleven.
