Brunswick, Me-, Oct. 16.-No sooner
dieo away before Coach Mccain began
another week of experiment in order
to decide the personnel of the team
that will, first, face Boston College
here Saturday, and second. work in
the State series which open here on
the following Saturday. Never in the
pre- championship campaigns of the
last few years has the Varsity been
r-ade over so many times as this sea-
son. This cheeker-board condition of
things has been brought about largely
by the loss of eight of the 1913 letter
men. Then Manning Moulton, VINO has
been ineligible up to this fall. has been
able to get into the game again. snd
he seems to have a permanent grasp
on left guard. Cliff Foster, end last
season, has also been ineligible. up to
date, and his return has shaken up
the wings. Today it looks as if Bow
doin would take the field in this FASH
ion:
LIE, c. r. Foster; II, Lewis: Ig, NJ. c.
Leadbetter; re, Floyd, OBJ, Shumway;
lib, Nevens; RIB. Stuart; fb, Goliath.
Even on the eve of the game this line
up can be considered only provisional,
and Mccain. may make one or more
11th-hour changes.
The most noticeable shift AXES
Leadbetter back to the line and puts
him at right tackle. In the Amherst
game Leadbetter played fullback, and
in the Wesleyan contest he worked at
left end. George Nevens, the Fresh
man from Brunswick High, has not
ben making the trips because he wert-
cd to devote as much time as possible
t. his studies, but &c is a good bet
fer left half tomorrow Peg" Stu
art, the old Cony High player, will
likely take turn at right half. STU
srt has been filling the pivot, but even
If Shumway replaces him at that
point, he is too good a man in carry
ing the ball to loaf on the bench.
The layout given above is about the
strongest combination that Bowdoin
can put on the field, with the one big
exception that Herb Foster is not
there. In making the 90-yard run for
the touchdown against Trinity, Fos-
ter injured a stomach muscle. While
this injury is not serious, Coach Nc
Cam and Trainer Magee do not intend
to put their star halfback in q preca-
rious position so near the State game.
The return of his brother to left END
strengthens the line eXtremeties ma
tiialy. Floyd and Chapman, who
played those positions against Trini-
ty, are new on the tips and naturally |
would be at a disadvantage in playing
against men like Purington of Maine |
and Royal of Colby. Under tie pres
ent plan Floyd goes backg tc right |
end, and Foster replaces Chapman on
the other. Foster halls from Seattle |
and is adept in the open style of war
fare which prevails in that section. He |
made a favorable impression in sew
eral games last fall.
Lewis Only Player Stationary
Two other changes have been made |
in the line. Brewster goes back from |
right tackle to right guard, and Stone |
moves over again to center. Capt. AL |
ton Lewis is the only man on the |
eleven who has played the same posi-
ton SO far.
The Boston College game will be |
Bowdoin's first home battle and on
that account will be particularly al
turing to her followers. But more i'm
portant than that is the fact that the
Bay State team has met the UNIVERSE
ty of Maine phalanx and gone down,
&c to I. The probable lineup of the
visitors follows:
LIE, Rogers; 1t, Mccarthy: lg, Daley;
C, Anderson; rg, Rooney; TT, OCon-
ner; re, Fitzgerald; lib. Duffy; RIB,
Kiley; fb,, Sullivan.
