North Manchester, Me, Oct. 3d.
Especially One of the happiest events
which has occurred in this vicinity
in recent years was the Surprise party,
in the form of a family reunion, ten
dered Mrs. John Knowles Wednesday,
Oct. Is, in honor of her seth birthday
anniversary. All the living children,
seven in number, also six grandchild-
rem, one great grandson and one
nephew were present.
Stephen H. came from Montana to
help celebrate the day. Other out
of-town guests were Mr.. and Mrs. A.
T. Clark and grandson, Lawrence NJ.

Knowles, son Charles and daughter
Mrs. Frank Lyon and husband of Au-
gusta: Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Smith OF

and German in Lancaster, N. H, High

ton M. and Erman F. of Augusta and
Charles C. Morrill,, also of Augusta.
Inc eldest son, u. Aipeit, anu youiS-
est daughter, Phronie s., are caring
for their mother.
This Is the first complete reunion
in 81 years, during which two sons,
Alden n. and Mark F. have passed
to the higher life. Mrs. S. H. Knowles
and son Stephen Herbert Jr., of Mon
tana, and two grandsons, Ralph J..
Smith Of Melrose, Mass, and Stanley
S. Knowles of Newton Upper Falls,
Mass, formerly of Augusta, were un-
able to be present.
1t was complete surprise to Mrs.
Knowles, in fact she said it was the
greatest surprise of her life when the
guests began to arrive by auto and
team. They all came laden with good
things. At o'clock they sat down
to tables groaning under the weight

children and children in-law are cele-

Boston, Oct. 30.-Because it matches
the Eastern with the Western game
as developed by two major opponents,
the contest in the Stadium tomorrow
between the University of Michigan
and Harvard will be the center of
football interest in the country. 1t will
be the first meeting of the two uni
versitietst at football since 1895, when
Harvard won, to 0. The Maize and
the Blue of Michigan has been worn
by track athletes in the Stadium In
several recent intercollegiate contests,
but this is the first time that Hurry
up" Yost has ever lead the Wolverine
team so far East.
On account of injuries neither team
will be at its maximum strength
when 1t runs onto the gridiron tomor-
row afternoon. Harvard will be with
out the services of the famous Brick
ley or of Mahan. 1t was said tonight
that while Mahan would be able to
play if necessary and might be put
into the game for any emergency, the
Harvard football authorities were not
disposed to take unnecessary chances
of injurying him, and that therefore.
Hardwick would play at halfback to-
morrow. Hardwicks place at end will
be taken by Smith.
Michigan will feel the loss of Salt
as well as several other stars. In addi-
ton the visitors will have not fully
recovered from the strenuous game
only week ago with Syracuse, al
though the Wolverine coaches have
worked hard to eradicate the remem-
brance of that defeat.
From end to end the Michigan line
will outweigh that of Harvard but
as the Crimson baekfield includes four
unusually husky players. there will be
little difference in the avoirdupois of
the two elevens taken as a whole.
That Haughton's coaching has develop
ed a better aggregation of football ex-
perts than that of Yost, and that Har-
ward would win tomorrow by a moderate
score, seemed to be the feeling in Cam
bridge tonight. and was reflected even
in the noteworthy gathering of the Mich

C0bURN AND
HEBRON CLASH
TODAY, HEBRON

Waterville, Me-, Oct. 30.-(SpeciaD.-
When Coburn and Hebron come to-
gether Saturday afternoon on the ath-
letic field at Hebron there will follow
one of the best, if not the best prep
school game of the year in the grand
old State of Maine. Coburn is ready
and waiting. Her team is groomed and
anxious for the blow of the whistle.
Pagan will be in the game and sc
will Captain Ranney, both of whom
have been out more or less on account
of injuries.
Coach Bagnell has been working the
team hard this week, but Friday there
was only light work to keep the men
limbered up for the ARRAY today. AL
though not sure of victory, the
coach feels that Hebron will have to
play wonderful ball to Guido the in
stitute boys. If Coburn can win by
one touchdown the players and sup
porters will be satisfied and whether
win or lose a large score is not ex-
pected. 1t would be a difficult thing
to predict just what the score will be.
Both teams have heavy lines, espe-
cially Hebron, and are evenly match
ed in weight.
The Coburn team will leave, accom-
panied by about 20 students on the
o'clock train for Lewiston, and will
ride from Lewiston to Hebron in au-
tos. Jud Merrill of Colby will accom-
pany the team to act as umpire. The
lineup for Coburn will be: Pagan re;
Stinson TT; Ranney rg; Dow C;
Coombs lg; Libby 1t; Alberts lie;
Coughlin OBJ; Lord RIB; McElwee lib;

a name for himself at Indiana Univer-

weight, and also shows the advantage
Of his training under an Eastern

In scrimage practice the big sorrel
topped Yankee has attracted attention
of rooters and coaches alike. He is
the most feared man on the yearling
squad and promises to be the sensa-

Ar WATERvILLE TODAY

Waterville, Me-, Oct. 30.-(SpeciaD.-
When Cony High School of Augusta
comes to Waterville Saturday morning
to play Watervil1e High school she will
have an altogether different kind of team
to reckon with than she did at Augusta
several weeks ago when the local boys
were smothered beneath 66 to score
Arthur Aver, a former all-Maine quarter
back, has succeeded James Mcmahon as
coach and has made several shifts in the
line that SCENE to be to a good advan-
tage The backfield, too, has undergone
some changes and the eleven as a whole
is % per cent. stronger than when it went
to Augusta. Coach Aver is fairly conf
dent of giving the Capital City eleven
great surprise, and this surprise may
take the form of a victory for the pur-
pie and white.
The last practice was a long and thor
ough signal drill in the gymnasium Fri
day morning. In the afternoon the team
rested. The game will be called at 10
o'clock at Libbey field, the regular Co.
burn gridiBon. Watervile high will line
up as follows: Wolman lie, Fletcher 1t,

owing to the two days recess of the
public schools during the teachers
convention in Portland the Cony High
school football squad has been allowed
a brief rest from training since Thurs
day afternoons practice. This morn
ing the squad will reassemble To take
the o'clock car for Waterville accom-
panied by Asst Manager Brennan and
Coach Gale. Concerning the field upon
which the team will meet the Water
vile High eleven some question arises
1t has been stated that Libby field
would stage the contest but some
doubt arises in consequence of the
conflict with the game which Coburn
is slated to play with Hebron. If the
sequence is that both games will take
place in succession upon Coburn S
gridiron Cony's followers will certain
~ get their moneys worth, for the
Coburn- Hebron game is to academic
life what the Maine-Colby game is to
collegiate life, this year. Concerning
the Cony- Waterville game it might be
stated that in the first clash of these
teams Cony came off the victor with a
score of CT to 0. The, present condition
Of the Cony eleven does not presage
a repetition of that score but does
seem to warrant certain assurances of
victory.
Asst Manager Brennan and Coach
Gale are taking -16 men, including:
Froberger, johnson. S. Jones, B, Jones,
Hall, Howes, Lathe, Taber, Sprague,

igan alumni in Boston.
This Boston football convention of sup
porters Of the maize and the blue was the
feature of the night before. The New
England alumni of the Ann arbor uni
versity began arriving soon after the
team reached Greater Boston yesterday,
and this afternoon a special train of un-
dergraduates headed by their own band
was sufficient to arouse loyal enthusiasm
in every graduate that could join in the
festivities. Until midnight Michigan
cheers and Michigan colors were heard
and seen throughout the Back Bay sec
ton. Nor did the visitors have a Chance
to complain of their reception by the
Crimson, for there were dozens of Har-
ward men on hand to welcome them, both
in this city and in Cambridge.
The visiting undergraduates were eager
for news from both camps. They learned
that the Michigan team had light prac-
tiee at Waltham in the morning and had
been given nearly two hours of sitter
work in the stadium in the afternoon
They also learned that the Harvard team
had greeted their eleven when 1t emerged
from the stadium and after few min
utes of Handwriting had gone into the
arena for final practice, which was re-
ported to have been satisfactory.
Clear weather and dry gridiron was
predicted for the contest tomorrow.
