| Interest in football Is growing more
intense as the days are getting cold
er. 1t was so raw, Thursday afternoon,
that the players were blue with TIE
cold. yet by no means were they blue
over the idea of the championship
game with the University of Maine
at Orono, next Saturday Quite the
contrary, Colby men believe that the
team that goes to Maine will be al
| least as strong as the one that held
Bowdoin 0 to o, last Saturday. Maine
undoubtedly thinks that Bewdoin will
give one point toward the State
championship and for the same rea-
son is looking for another from Col
by. Saturday. This must be about the
situation at Orono, for surely Maine
must be counting on winning at least
one game this year. VIII it be from
Colby or from Bowdoin, or from both
the colleges?
The practice, Wednesday afternoon,
consisted of the formation of new
plays, which will be used frequently
in the Maine game, and a hard scrim-
mage with the second team. Much to
the surprise of all the second team
scored ON the first. This, however, was
due more to the cold weather than
to the lack of team work on the first
eleven. Taylor, halfbaek for Colby,
who did not play in the Bowfloin
game, Saturday, will not be in the
game with Maine. In Taylor. the
team lost one of its strongest men in
the back field and his absence cannot
help from being felt Saturday.

leave Waterville, Saturday. at II A.
