brunswick, Me, Nov. 1G,-tSpeciaD.
The approval of the faculty has been
obtained and IL is now certain that
the Bowdoin eross-country team will
race with the Bates team, Saturday
afternoon, in Lewiston, on a 4la-niie
course At the beginning of the sea-
son the prospects of fine eross-coun-
try team seemed doubtful on account
of the small number of men out for
the team. But by the persistent work
of these men a team was developed OF
which the college may we'll be proud.
A week ago this team put up good
run against the team from the. Uni
Versity of Vermont. but was defeated
by close score. This week, the men
have been runningzaever a 5-mile course
each afternoon, and are now in much
better condition than when they raced
Vermont The team will go to Lewis
ton Friday afternoon and walk over
the course. in order that the men may
become fully acquainted with the sur
roundings. and, Saturday noon. the
team will go prepared TO put up a
great run against the Bates team Inc
men who compose the team are; Cap
tain Harry Hall. 'l3; James FarboN..

dith Anton, - and Carl b. Timber

A new rule has been made in re-
gard to the awarding of track u s
10 the Bowdoin cross-country team.
The Bowdoin men who are among the
first five runners to finish in the race
will get their letter, regardless OF
whether or not the, team wins. Before
this. the rule has been that all of the
men on the team received their let
| Ter. provided that the team should
Twin. This new rule will doubtless prove
very satisfactory and viii be effective
in Saturdays race
Roth the Freshman and the Sepho-
more class football squads are prne-
tieinE hard each afternoon preparing
for the F'reshman-So game,
Saturday. Nov. 25. The Freshmen
have by far the largest squad, and
in it there are several men who .afe
showing UP finely. and may later
prove to be valuable material Tor the
varsity squad. The class rivalry Is
strong, this year. and as both teams
seem confident of winning, the game
ought to be exciting and interesting,
from start to finish.
According TO figures recently com
piled at the college office. it is learned
| that out OF nearly $500 living alumni
of the college,, only 25l are engaged IN
teaching. The reason for this AZ, IN
doubtedly. the small pay received by
teachers. especially in the preparatory
schools. OF the number now teaching.

preparatory schools.
OF the So now teaching in colleges,
there are: One college president, four
eolleeg deans. "a professors, six assist
ant professors. and II instructors The
