Brunswick. Me-. Oct. 23.-(SpeciaD.-
When the Bowdoin eleven lines up for
its big battle with Colby on Whittier
field this afternoon, McCanns team
will be fighting against big odds. The
upriver team outweighs the Bowdoin
players nearly 20 pounds to a man.
The average weight of the Whites
defenders is 10 pounds, while Colby
averages over 1879 pounds per man.
Guy Leadbetter, who has played an
exceptional game for Bowdoin at
right tackle, suffered bad wrench to
his left knee in practice game this
week and 1t is almost a sure thing
that the big lineman will be unable to
appear against the upriver eleven to-
day.
The loss of Leadbetter at the 18th
hour, coupled with the fact that New
ems and Stuart will be out on inju-
ries, has weakened the White consid-
erably.
Fer the psat day or so a big crew
of men has been at work on the
athletic field and temporary bleachers
have been erected to accommodate the
big crowd that is sure to be drawn
to Brunswick for Bowdoin's big bat
tic of the year,
+ Capt. Paul Fraser is back in the
game and will be Colby's main hope
on the offensive this afternoon. With
the exception of Pendergast. the 16-
pound Waterville guard. who is out
on injuries. the Colby team will take
the field in good condition.

ROuSINC MASS MEETING HELD
AT COLBY BEFORE T0DAY'S GAME

Watervine, Me-, Oct 23.-(SpeciaD.
At half past seven Friday night the
student body assembled at the Col
lege chapel for the greatest mass
meeting that Colby has ever known.
The spirit in anticipation for the
Bowdoin game to be played this after
Doon had no bounds and nearly ev-
cry man present came to his feet
when 1t was asked how many intend
ed to take the Brunswick speeia..
After the meeting had been called
to order by Mills Is, president OF the
Athletic Council, several new songs
were practiced, followed by selections
by the College Band.
The first man to take the speak
er's stand was Graduate Manager r.
wing, his subject was the part that
the cheering section would have to
play in the winning of tomorrow's
game, he said that it was therefore
necessary that every man in college
be present at the game. Pendergast.
the veteran guard that is now laid up
with an injury that he received in
practice, explained the humiliation
forced upon him by being unable to
take part in the game, nevertheless
he felt that the man who will be in
his position tomorrow will fill 1t so
amply that his absence will not be
missed.
Captain Fraser was the next man
to appear, and after many long and
lusty cheers had been hushed by the
efforts of the cheer leader. Ginger
said, Fellows, can only say that the
team is going to Bowdoin with the
idea of winning and If we do not win
it will not be because we did not
fight"
Coach Fuller spoke at length of the
rumors concerning the crippled con-
s:tion of the team, proving to the
satisfaction of the student body that
these rumors are wholly without
ground. He also stated that he would
prove to those present that the Colby
team does not deserve the name of
rough necks" that some critics have
attached to the team. Other speakers
of the evening were DR.. Hill, Jack
11edlnSTtOu, d lcIlhcT Nolpy lOOtDeti
captain, and various members of the
team.
After the meeting was declared at
an end the student body led by the
band marched around to the different
fraternity houses cheering the menu
bers of the squad.
Coach Fuller and Captain Fraser
seemed perfectly confident that Col
by will do all that is expected Of her
tomorrow afternoon when she meets
Bowdoin on Whittier Field. Coach
Fuller stated that his team was in
perfect condition physically. and that
they would not give the wearers of
the white a breathing spell from the
first whistle until the last rush. Cap
tain Fraser stated, that the team had
been showing perfect form for the
last week and that with the fighting
spirit that is always present in any
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-10-24

Bowdoin will rely chiefly upon speed
this afternoon and despite the fact
that her eleven is in poor condition
the game is sure to be fast and hard
fought. Colby won from Bowdoin IL
to last year and the Brunswick play
ers will do their utmost to wipe out
the defeat of last season. Bowdoin's
fighting spirit has always been a syn
onym for her athletic teams AMI not
withstanding their superior weight,
Colby will find no easy proposition in
the White.
Goliath, Dyer, H. Foster and Shum-
way will form a quartet of backs for
Rowdoin that, while light, are the
speediest the Brunswick college has
had for some years.

and their comparative weights are as

Black Hole Of Calcutta.

The innate corruption and depravity
of human nature were perhaps never
more clearly brought out than in the
historic Black Hole of Calcutta. That
atrocity stands unrivaled as an in
stance of the utmost suffering human
ity can endure, passed through by a
large number, yet leaving a few sur
vivors to tell the tale. Many more
have been slain or executed at one
time, death being expected; but
probably only safe keeping of the pris-
oners was intended, and only fear of
breaking a despot's sleep prevented
their earlier release. Yet this torture,
"unequaled in history or fiction,
whose record cannot be read unmoved
after the lapse of a hundred and fifty
years" was produced merely by crowd
ing men together in an i'll ventilated
room. No fires, racks, nor scourges
were needed; all that was done or re-
quired to be done was to take from
each the amount of air and space to
which he was accustomed, crush him
into close proximity with his fellows,
and the thing was accomplished

CANADA WINNING
CHAMPIONSHIPS
IN AGRICULTURE
The Latest Is Winning Cham
pionShip for Oats a Third
Time.

Recently was published the fact of
remarkable winnings by Canadian
farmers In several events during the
past three or four years. The latest
is that of Messrs. ]. c. Hill G. Sons
of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, who
won in hard contest for the oat
championship over Montana. At the
National Corn Exposition at Dallas
during February, Montana oats we're
awarded the championship for the
United States. Waiting for the win
ner of this to be announced was a
peck OF oats belonging to the Ca
madam growers above mentioned, and
alongside of these was like quantity
belonging to Minnesota grower, who
was barred from the regular compe-
ution because he was at one time the
winner Of the trophy-the prize. The
three entries were side by side on the
judges bench. 1t would not be pos
sible to bring together three more
likely samples. The Montana and
Saskatchewan entries were of equal
weight-50 pounds to the bushel. The
Minnesota sample was some three
pounds lighter. The award was
unanimous in favor of the Saskatche-
wan oats. A remarkable feature and
one greatly to the credit Of the Ca,
grown in 1913, were grown and shown
by those who had competed during
the past two years, winning on each
occasion. This, the third winning,
gave them for the third time the
worlds championship and full posses
sion of the splendid $500 silver
trophy contributed by the state of
Colorado.
The oats which have thus given to
Western Canada another splendid ad-
vertising card, were grown 300 miles
north of the international boundary
line, proving that In this latitude, all
the smaller grains can be grown with
abundant yield than further south. In
all this country are to be found farm
ers who produce oats running from
AZ to 4S pounds TO the bushel, and
with yields OF from 60 to 100 bush
els per acre. Wheat also does well,
grades high, and yields from 30 to 40
bushels per acre. The same may be
said of any portion Of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, famed
over the world not only as a country
where championship grains are grown,
but where cattle and horses are raised
that also carry of championships and
where wild grasses are abundant
yielders, cultivated hay and alfalfa
are grown, thus giving plenty OF feed,
and with a good climate, sufficient
shelter and plenty of water, bring
about results such as western Canada
has been able to record. Thousands
OF farmers from the United States
who have their homes in Canada bear
ample testimony to the benefits they
have derived from farming In west
