DARTMOUTH IS
PLEASED WITT
CURTIS RETURN
TO PLAY TUFTS

Hanover N. H, Nov. 4.-With the re-
turn OF Edgar E. Curtis of Portland, son
of Governor-elect Curtis, Dartmouth foot
ball stock received a boost yesterday.
Curtis. one of the greatest punters in the
East. unable to start in the Princeton
contest, thereby lowered the Greens
chances against the Tigers. Captain
Whitney, for two weeks confined to the
sidelines, did his best against briggs, the
Princeton toe-artist, but was unable TO
equal the Tigers soaring flights. When
Curtis entered the game. kicking against
Law, this department took on an altered
look.
Coach Cavanaugh in discussing the
Green's prospects tonight welcomed the
return of Curtis to the backfield. He adj
nitted that Dartmouth felt the loss of
this veteran in the Jungletown scrim-
mage, and is pleaded with the showing
that the Green may now make against
Tufts, Pennsylvania and Syracuse
Hanover realizes that Tufts is coming
to Hanover next Saturday prepared to
play the game of her career. The Med
ford boys started their season with two
great features on their program. Harvard
narrowly escaped their clutches, and now
they journey to the New Hampshire
town determined to wrest the victory
from the Green jerseys.
Football dope here has it that Tufts
has been playing possum for the past
two weeks, and withdrawing her best
men from the fray, is getting into fine
fettle for their serimmage with Dart
mouth.
This week is being devoted to a d.
agnosis of the Tufts style of attack.
The Green coaches are schooling their
charges in suitable defences. Secret
practice is the order of the day, and
the covered gridiron in Alumni gym
nasium is seeing frequent use.
But regardless of the score in Sat-
urdays contest against Tufts, the
Green is centering all her attention
on the two more important games of
the season, when she journeys to Phil
adelphia and Boston. The coaches an
nounced that no chances would be
taken with the invalids, and that es-
pecial care would be taken in starting
any veterans on the hospital string
Whether Curtis will start the Tufts
game is highly problematical, for if
his injury does not round into fit
shape, he will be reserved for the
Quakers and Syracuse. If he is. how
ever, able. to take part in Saturdays
game, the Green may feel more than
reasonably safe against any player the
Brown and Blue may offer in the kick
ing department.
Peter Soutar of Auburn, who al
though he was taken on the Princeton
trip, was not used against the Tigers,
is plugging away hard at tackle. He
has already entered several games this
season, and put up good scrap in the
Amherst game, when he held down a
berth in the fourth quarter.

with his brother, Walter. The Clark
boys father lives in Jefferson and 1t
is the custom of his sons to visit him
at least twice a year and in the fall
they help him make the place trim
for the winter.
Hugh Clark was employed in Bos-
ton. There had been a falling out be-
tween Bowman and the Clark boys a
year or two ago. AS the story gies,
there was trouble over boat be-
longing to Bowman, which, he claim
ed, the Clark boys took.
At hearing, Bowman was bound
over to the grand jury, which, as II
happened, met within a week after
the stabbing. He was indicted on the
charge of murder. Bowman, who had
been committed to the Auburn jail
pending the action of the grand jury,
was brought to Wiscasset early this
week for this trial.
It is seldom that a case Of so grave
nature is disposed of SO quickly in the
courts. esa.s
Bowman will be sentenced later in
the week.

I'VE left Yarmouth at o'clock in
the morning and when about 10 miles
out we met the German ships. We
challenged them but supposed they
were British, as We did not expect to

the shells were raining around us, the
Germans firing as rapidly as possible.
One shot wrecked the wheelhouse, Sc

about eight times and considering that
we were covered with spray and go

Germans was real good. Our wireless

sink US but failed. owing to the cap
