BoWdoin defeated Exeter to here
Saturday in q game Astounding with
brilliant plays and team work. Bow
ioin's team showed more finish in
team play than the Exeter eleven, al
though two very oleverly executed for
ward passes gave John GlaZes pupils
their only chance for touchdown
lSowdUin'S attack was much stronger
than EXetcr's. and repeatedly Kern,
the little fullback, tore through EX-
cuar's lines for gains of three to 20
yards, which made his playing easily
the feature of the day.
3oWdOin played the entire game with
her best back, Frank Smith. on the
side lines, as Coach McClaVc did not
wish to take any chances with his in
jured finger. However, Ballard rep
resented him Worthily, pulling off sew
eral brilliant runs in the second half,
in which he showed the speed he has
shown on the cinder track. Farnham
also played strong game. 1t was his
pretty drop kick from the 15-yard line
that prevented the game IRON being
tie. Sullivan at quarter played his
best game Of the year and ran his
team Well In the line, all the men
were strong, Exeter being able to make
no consistent gains through it. The
playing of the ends, Hurley and f.. r.
Smith. was especially brilliant, the lat

through the line for long gains and
