Bates Squad Given
LightPraCtiCe Work

| Lewiston, Me, Nov. 1.--(SpeciaD.-
The Bates College football squad came
ort this afternoon for light practice
The men look none the worse for their
punishment of last Saturday. The
game was a hard one for Bates but the
men received no serious injuries and
will be in good condition, unless some
thing not toreseen happens, for Bow
doin next saturday. There is little
known of what the coaches will do
| with the men this week but they will
| be given considerable secret practice
work and as one of the men said to-
day, they will make BoWdOin go
some At present odds SCENE to IA
vor the Brunswick team. With such
men as Smith. Kern and Newman,
they have team that would be apt
to tear up any Maine college teams
defence. Bates looked for Bowdoin to
win from Colby Saturday, thinking
that the latter's line would weaken
before the attack of the BoWdoin
backs. The comparative scores, how
ever, seem to place BoWdoin and Bates
on about an equal footing and there
they can fight it out. Little can be said
about the lineup of Bates They Will
have their best team in the field.
| Manager Paul G. Thurston of the
Bates team and Manager Thomas Otis
of the Bowdoin team will meet in Lew
iston Wednesday to make final ar
rangements for the management of the
field for the game. AS is generally
known, this game alternates between
| Lewiston and Brunswick, the gate re-
| ceipts being divided each year be-
tween the two arrangements. The Off
| Gals for this game will be selected by
| the central rules committee. The
bieachers on the west side of Garcelon
field will be reserved for Bowdoin.
1t is interesting TO inspect the re-
suits of the games played between
Bates and Bowdoin for the last 20
years. Out of fairness to Bates it may
be said that up to 1895 football was not
well supported at the Lewiston col
lege, consequently the teams which
| represented her We're greatly handi-
capped for lack of proper training
and coaching. Since that time football
has been pat on a good working basis
and the Bates victories. beginning in
| 1897. have been as many as the Bow
| dom victories. Bates has won six of
the 16 games played with Bowdoin. In
| 1890, 1891, 1892 and 1900 no games We're
| played. Since 1905 the victories have
| inversely followed the ground on
which the contests were played. Bates
has won at Brunswick and BowdOin
has won at Lewiston. Viewed in this
way it would seem that Bowdoin's turn
to win will come this year. The results
Of all former contests are as follows.
1S89-Bowdoin 60, Bates 0.
