COBURN VERSUS OAK
GROVE NEXT FRIDAY

Supporters and followers OF the Coburn
Classical teams are looking forward with
much anticipation to Friday when the
Institute eleven will make its first APP
pearance of the season with the Oak
Grove Seminary eleven as opponents. The
Oak Grove boys are said 10 have light
but fast team. Irving Merrill, member
of the Colby squad, is doing the coaching,
and he believes that the boys are un-
usually fast and will offset the greater
weight of the opponents by more open
play.
Coburn. on the other hand, has a heavy,
rugged and by no means slow moving
team. Reny, Dow and Stinson, all old
linemen, are back at their old positions.
Crawford, a Waltham High star, Is play
ing at quarter; Rollo Pagan, another
assaehusetts boy, at haGback; O'Brien
at full, and Wyman, a former Good Will
boy, at the other half. The line Is show
ing up well. and Lord. who played on
the backfield last year. is to be reckoned
with. Coach Bagnell is confident that
the wearers of the crimson and gold this
year will make the prep schools on their
schedule sit up and take notice. The Co.
burn supporters have one regret, and that
sent to a game Both teams have long
claimed the State championship after
winning all their games, but have never
got together to settle their difference of
opinion. ).

BELIEVE GERMANS PREPARING
FOR SIEGE OF ANTWERP
o. ~"
BELGIUM WITHIN few DAYS
Dutch Authorities Have Increased Their NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
munication with the City Has Been
Almost Suspended

; Rotterdam, Sept 20, via London,
1850 A. M,-The activity along the
Belgian frontier indicates that the
Germans are planning for a siege of
Antwerp within few days. More
than $4,000 men. German naval re-
serves have been brought from the
North Sea towns of Kiel and Ham
burg to Brussels and are being held in
readiness to serve on an improvised
German feet should Antwerp and Os-
tend be taken.
AS a direct result of this move the
Dutch authorities along the Scheldt
have increased their watehfulneee, for
during a siege of Antwerp. England
might like to send reinforcements
through the Dutch Scheldt, which
would be a breach of neutrality while
on the other hand a German victory
would bring danger of an attempt on
the part of Germany to use the mouth
of the Scheldt as base from which
to attack the British naval forces in
the North Sea.
Communication with Antwerp has
been almost suspended. The town
can be reached by automobile but only
one small freight line from Rotterdam
maintains daily service. Only those
provided with extraordinary passports
and first class credentials are adj
mitted
The fear of German spies has some
what subsidized. Meantime, however,
all German and Austrian subjects have
been expelled and even those who are
of German and Austrian descent but

who have been Belgian subjects for
many years have been placed under
strict military guard in and around
the triangle formed by Ostend, Client
and Antwerp.
The moment for the actual siege of
Antwerp, according to the best in
formed circles here, will depend upon
the outcome of the present battle in
northern France. Should Germany
win in this battle, the attack upon
Antwerp will be pushed at once, while
in case of German defeat the troops
now holding the line of the Scheldt
will be used to resist any Belgian at
tempt to cut the route of the retreat
ing German army.
II is impossible TO get correct figures
regarding the strength of the German
troops but according to the best infor-
nation to be had from Brussels,
enough German troop trains have
passed through that city since last
Monday to bring the number up TO
$50 GOO memn.
The large German siege guns have
all been removed to the Aisne battle
field and the guns which Germany In
tends to use for Antwerp are of Aus
trian make.
The northern part of Belgium, when
is still under the immediate control
of the Belgian government, is perfect
ly quiet All cities and villages along
the frontier at night are kept In abso-
lutte darkness to avoid attacks from
Zcprelins which are cruising over this
territory almost every night.

score OF 1904 to s97 points in the interna-

Imam had a lead of 6o2 to 3o4 points
when play began today. Hoppe soon
changed the aspect of affairs when ne
struck his gait.
In the second game Hoppe. was not in
such good form. while Inman showed de-
cided improvement.

for ultimate victory as on the results of
the three games played Hoppe outclasses
Inrnan to at balk line. while the Eng

American on the English table.
