To substantiate his claim to arti-

a rubber ear, a glass eye, and wears

RADICAL CHANGES
RUMORED IN WHITES
COACHING SYSTEM

Brunswick, Nov. Radical changes
may be made in the Bowdoin football
coaching system. and that before the
Maine game next Saturday, If talk
and rumors about the campus are to
be taken seriously General dissatis-
faction is being expressed with the
results Of the present system, not only
among the undergraduates, but also
among the alumni and faculty MEM
bers.
1t Is rumored, and there is some
show of authority for the rumor, that
efforts will be made at once to Sc
cure some good football man with re-
cent college experience to come to
Brunswick as soon as possible and
take an important, II not the leading
part in shaping the eleven for the
two remaining games. Both these
games will be very hard ones for the
Bowdoin team. as one Is with the
strong University Of Maine eleven and
the other with the still stronger Tufts
team. but 1t Is hoped that some TN
provement may be accomplished
which will make Bowdin put up u
more creditable showing than in re-
cent games.

most interesting game of the season.
The play was open and replete with

Waterville, Me, Nov. 1.-(SpeciaD.-
Colby cincked the Maine Football
championship title Saturday, when
they put the heavy Maine team down
to defeat by the score of IA to 0. Both
teams felt confident of winning, and
this fact made the fight of double in
terest. The Maine team had got the
idea from outside dope that they
would have but one man to beat and
this man was Captain Fraser, who
has starred in every game for the
Blue and Gray this season. 1t took bat
"a short time for the Maine team to
find that besides Fraser there were
10 other football men that made up the
team and that they had faced alto
gether a different proposition than
they had expected. After the first few
a rushes the Maine team seemed 10 lack
: the punch" that has characterized the
T. of NJ teams for the last three
years. However, it is not to be under

for off side on the next play. but Cap
tain Turner made up for this with Is
yards on the next rush. Again Water

change of punts with the ball on the
home teams 40-yard line. Making a
wide circle around right end the Au-
gusta captain ran down the field for
40 yards for O touchdown. Purinton
kicked the goal.
The second half was a repetition of
the first, except that Waterville fought
all the harder and made a better
showing on the offense. Labrack and
Alley made some fine gains, and made
the secondary defense Of the Augusta
team work hard. All the time Alley
was playing a wonderful game on the
defense. and almost every attempted
end run on either side of the line
found him pulling down the man.
Cony twice got within sariking dis
lance of her opponents goal, only to
lose her chances to score by careless
fumbling. The first time she got pos
session of the ball in this half. she
carried it to the 25-yard line, when q
Waterville boy recovered the tumble.
Again on the 10-yard line after push
ing the lighter eleven down the field

she fumbled. The game ended with
the ball about mid-f1eld.

Butler edged near to the Bowdoin line
and Talbot dropped back. caught the

Second Period
In the second period Bowdoin dis
played some of the traditional fight
ing spirit of the college and held the
Garnet for downs within the shadow

a forward pass on Bowdoin's seven
yard line and punted well out of dam
ger. Bates rushed back and Bowdoin
again held desperately for downs. For

Saturday afternoon in football game
almost devoid OF spectacular play and
confined to conservative attack and de-
fence. Some 25.0o0 spectators witnessed
60 minutes of hardfought scrimmage in

throughout. Neither eleven evinced any
particular desire to use the much herald
ed forward or lateral pass. the general
advance was achieved by series of line

COMPLETELY 0UTCLASSED AND
FAILING MISERAbLY BOWDOIN
is DEFEATED BY BATES, 27.0

Brunswick, Me-, Nov. 1.-(SpeciaD.-
Bates outclassed Bowdoin in every de-
partment of the game Saturday and
when the dazed Bowdoin supporters
left their seats at the end of the last
period the score stood: Bates u, Bow
dom 0. For three periods the contest
had the appearance of a real football
game and up to the beginning of the
final quarter the tally stood 8 for
Bates with no score for the Bruins
wick boys, but the less said about the
last period the better. The Bates
backs would get possession of the ball,
there would be one or two rushes and
under their crossbars and watch Tai
bot of Bates add another goal from
touchdowns to the Garnet's big score.
While the game was hard fought it
was unusually clean and the spirit of
good craftsmanship displayed by both
colleges was of a very high standard.
With the loss of Saturdays game
Bowdoin will probably be consigned 70
the cellar position OF the Maine cham
pionship series while Bates will take
third place. Talbot was the star of
the game Saturday and the work of
the Bates quarterback shone head and
shoulders above that of his mates.
For Bowdoin the work of Chapman
and Nevens featured. From the first
to the last whistle it was evident that
there was something radically wrong
with the Whites defenders Their
tackling was poor and their knowl-
edge of the rudiments of the game so
evidently imperfect that Bowdoin sup
porters are inclined to believe that
there must be some change before
long in the present system of train
ing and coaching II the White is to be
represented on the sridiron by any
where near competent eleven. The
Brunswick collegians have fast,
nervy lot of men and it is generally
conceded that the great mistake this
year has been in resorting to old style
tactics instead of relying more upon
the open method of play.
