BOWdOin Eleven
Receives Another
Lively Shaking Up.

Brunsick. Me-, Nov. 9.-(SpeciaD. -
Since practice began this week the
football team has received a big shak
ing I'D. The lineup for the game here
with University of Maine will prob
ably be altogether different from the
lineup of the previous games this fall.
Captain Newman, who has been play
ing tackle this year rather than his
old position of guard, has been put in
Pratt's place at left guard, King has
replaced Newman as left tackle, CrOS-
by is in his regular position as right
tackle and Badly" Smith will play
left end, as he has all season. Last
week on account OF the bad condition
of his knee he was not started in the
game with Bates, but Crosby was put
in his place with King playing Cros
by's position as tackle. When Hast
ings was taken out of the game
Badly" went in at his old position,
Crosby took his old position at tackle
ana King went in at guard in place of
Hastings. Accordingly ''Baldy' has
played in every game this fall up to
this time, and it is thought as he re-
ceived no injury Saturday he will be in
condition to play the rest of the season.
! OF course there is considerable risk
in shifting the positions in the line at
| this stage in the season, but in this
case it is thought best by the coaches
in order to quicken the work of the
men in getting away when the ball is
| snapped. "Pus" Newman is not new
at guard and King played tackle adj
| last season, 50 that with the practice
of the week ahead of them the men
ought to be able to play under the new
arrangement as we'll as before.
| Boynton is in at center and will prob
ably play that position Saturday, while
Wilson will play quarterback. He has
shown that he is the best man for that
position for all-round work and es-
pecially in catching and running back
puntS.
Although the game saturday will not
decide the championship OF the State,
there is no lessening of interest in the
} contest and a record crowd is expect
ed Maine supporters will doubtless
come in so large numbers as to require
special train and many people from
Bangor and all along the line from
there down have signified their inten-
ton Of attending. Large delegations
from Portland and Lewiston and sur
rounding places are expected and sew
eral Bowdoin men and friends from out
of the State have written to secure
seats
A large block of bleachers has been
erected on the north side of the field
for the Maine crowd, while the Bow
doin contingent will occupy the Hub
bard grandstand. Seats for this in the
cheering section go on sale tonight and
On account of the great demand for
seats only one seat in this section viii
he sold to a man. The seats for the
rest Of the grandstand will go on sale
tomorrow night in Memorial hall and
in several of the large cities.
A very amusing spectacle appeared
on the campus and the path to the
Athletic field this afternoon when
Captain Newman of the football team
wheeled Harlan F. Hansen 10, in a
wheelbarrow from the Theta Delta Chi
house to the Athletic field and back in
payment of a bet made last week. The
bet was made on the result of the An
dover Exeter game last Saturday. in
which there is always much interest at
BoWdoin, as several men from Both
schools are attending Bowdoin. New
man backed the Exeter team. The ride
was a rough one and caused much
merriment to the onloOkers, of which
there were many. Many mistook the
fellows for two Freshmen performing
some stunt but on closer observation
were surprised to see two Gignified
Seniors were the cause of the excite
ment.
