IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
SHAKEUP IN BATES LINE
FOR U. OF MAINE GAME.

Lewiston, Me, Oct. 29.-NoEecial).-
One hundred and fifty Bates men will
leave on the special train from Lewis
ton at o'clock Saturday morning for
Orono. Bates will go after the game
with u. of Nj. as she has never gone
after any other game. Although per-
haps the championship is not within
her reach, yet she is bound ct give
Maine whipping if she can possibly
accomplish the trick. Again, as she was
last Saturday, she will be sadly out
weighed. Will she be out-rlayed, out
generated and out-pointed on the
principles Of this game which she has
Been working on for nearly two
months? The coaches, the students and
the supporters believe that she Will not.
II is absurd to think that Bates is
stronger of can put up any better
game than Maine from the records that
the two teams have made thus far this
season. Her light backs and light line
will be over-toWered by Names beef,
but Bates has been working on style
of football that makes even heavy
teams look scared The kind that only
such men as Coaches Purinton and
Mason can handle
Bates will met Maine with a most
remarkable change in her lineup.
Bates will do thing that to many Will
seem unreasonable. That is, the two
heaviest and largest men on the team
will play ends Saturday. The coaches
have been working behind closed
gates all this week and today am
nounced the result of this work.
Dacey and Carroll, the two men who
have been playing guards, will start
the game at right and left end respect
lively. Sheltlrd and Jecusco will be in
at right and left guard. While Bishop
and McCollister, the two light ends,
will not be in the lineup at the start
of the game. This is undoubtedly
trial scheme, but the coaches believe
that they have worked the theory out
so that now they are warranted in
making the change. Dorman will be
retained at center and the Andrews
brothers will keep their positions as
tackles, SO that the line will not lose
any by the change.
Next in importance to this change in
Bates line and ends is the change in
quarterback. Capt. Cummings has
been out for practice some this week,
but the doctors advise him not to go
into this game. Remmert has been
playing a strong game there this
week and will in all probability start
the game for Bates. OF course it will
not be like Capt. Cummings but the
men have taken the decision in good
part and will work as hard as ever
Dennis will probably start at left
halfback in place Of Conklin. The lat
ter will undoubtedly be used some dur
ing the game but Dennis is considered
to be the stronger runner and tackler.
Lovely and Keaney will be in their
old places in the back field. Keaney is
particularly strong in the open game
and his kicking will keep him IN right
halfback for a while at least.
There was great enthusiasm last
evening at the mass meeting held in
Hathorn hall. The speakers were
Coach Purinton, Manager Thurston,
Prof Britain. Prof. Ramsdeli, Pres
ton II, and Dorman TO- center of the
football team. The band of % pieces
was present and the cheereaders We're
on hand to get a good lot of noise out
of the very large crowd that was there.
There We're many graduates and visi-
tors who wanted to hear a rousing
Bates mass meeting. 1t was one of the
best rallies that Bates has ever held.
The men all went out onto the field
Friday afternoon and sbeered the
team at practice.
