CURTIS PUNTING
PROVES FEATURE

Hanover N. H.. Nov. coach Cav

work and lots of 1t for the Dartmouth
team. Practice Wednesday consisted
mainly of another long scrimmags.
The play was hard and fast and much
ability was brought to light. Coach
Cavanaugh will probably pick thu
team which goes against Tufts from
the showing made in scrimmage this
week. The only tally today was
touchdown by Milmore on forward
pass from Ghee: Curtis kicked the
goal. Curtis punting was the bright
spot in the practice. his spirals aver
aging So yards. Spears showed good
deal of speed and was shifted to tackle
for a few minutes. He may be able
to fill the hole at tackle left by the in
juries of McAuliffe and Cotton. Quar-
terbacks. Ghee and Cumisky, showed
excellent form especially as there was
a good breeze across the field.

COLBY CROSS COUNTRY
men PICKED THURSDAY

Waterville, Me-, Nov. 5.-(SpeeiaD.-
Coach Coin has picked the following
men to represent Colby in the Inter
collegiate cross-country run which is
to be held over course in Bruins
wick today. The following men will
take the trip: Wenz, Webster, Wegg
NJ. Thompson, Levine, Frevola and p.
Thompson. The first four men were
members of the team which won the
Andover Invitation meet. and took
second place in the Maine 1ntercol-
legiate cross-country run.
From all appearances IL is to be be-
lieved that the fight for first place
will be between the U. of NJ and Colby
as was the result last year. However
Colby should turn the tables this year
as she has the same team with the
exception of Waldron, who will be
unable to run due to faculty restric-
tions, while the State University team
will miss Towner, her last years cap
tain who graduatd.
Besides the veterans on the Colby
team, several Freshmen have been
showing excellent form, and with their
assistance added to the ability of the
veterans Colby should make good
showing.
The team will leave Waterville for
Brunswick on the 8 A. M. train.

Enough is sufficient, hence the simple

stood behind the team to have to con-
front such an incident. The game with
Bath High promises to be no easy af-
fair and but this afternoon remains
in which to put on the finishing
touches for the battle The coaches
have been paying particular attention
to details in the way the backfielders
handle themselves and in the hope of
building up an offense that cannot be
stopped Undoubtedly Cony's backfield
material is capable of being moulded
into such a machine, the completion of
which depends upon the three factors
of the men themselves. coaching and
time. Tomorrows game should witness
an advance in this direction.

WITH GARDINER IN

Wednesday night of the new organized
State League was Of the highest order.
The Lewiston team with the second

obliged to split even with Gardiner,
the points of four being the basis of
the percentage.
The men bowled at the l.. & A. al
leys, on alleys two and three, and if
hard luck ever pursued a bunch of
bowlers that old jinx was right on the
trail Wednesday night. 1t was hit the
pin to get it and only couple of
lucky breaks were made in the con-
test.
The Lewiston team was slew in get
ting started and when the first string
had ended the favorites were in the
hole by II pins. Cyr, the first man off
the locals, had 81 and that was the
highest for his team, while Staples,
of the Gardiner team, worked up 107.
Beaumont with 10 led the night
and this was tipped over in the Sec
ond string and paved the way for
one of Lewiston points il not both.
Russell, one of the best bowlers
hereabouts and manager Of the locals,
busted but 259 and he hit the candles
in all sorts of hard luck.
But eight pins separated the two
teams at the finish, which pleased the

Colby Halfbaek, Whose Injury to Knee
During Practice May Keep Him from
Game.
The player was suffering extreme pain
and prompt medical assistance was neces-
sary to alleviate the trouble.
Coming such a short time before Sat-
urdays game with Bates it appears prob
able that the injury will prevent Golden
from participating in the last champion
ship struggle of the season. This will be
a great disappointment to Golden, as he
had tried to get into shape for chance
In the closing contest of the big series.
1t also looks very much as II his disa-
bilities might keep Golden from the ems
joyment of the Annapolis trip, which all
the players are anticipating with good
deal of pleasure.
"Matty'' surely seems to have been con-
sidered pursued by .hoodoo all the fall.
His troubles commenced before the Holy
Cross game and have continued persist
emily. Whenever the disappearance of an
old ailment made Golden's prospects ap-
pear bright for steady chance at the
game then some new injury was sure to
crop UP and he would be once more on
the hospital list With the season almost
closed his chances for again showing in
the lineup of the 1914 Colby team do not
appear bright.
The Colby eleven was given light serim-
mage work yesterday afternoon. The
boys took hold of the work with a show
of energy which indicates that they will
enter the Bates game in as fine shape as
at any time this fall. Captain Fraser is
coming along splendidly and the rest of
the team is in pleasing condition.

Fraser was not in the. scrimmage and it
is impossible to state at this early date
whether he will be able to enter the game
Saturday or not on account of his injured

him during the greater part of the sea-

That Michigan game was one that
will be worth while repeating another
year. The Wolverines are eager that
Harvard should go to Ann Harbor,
but.as the crimson would not consider
going even as far as Cornell there is
small chance for Western trip for
the team in 1915.
Eddie Mahan is coming along fast
with his punting. As drop-kicker,
also, he has great possibilities. II Har-
ward has any one under cover it is Ma
han, yet at the same time many
Princeton and Yale players know Ma

that IL Harvard had not had Brickley,
