Pledges-Council Election

Orono Me-. Oct. 2s.-tSpeciaD.- More
than the usual amount Of interest is
centered in the battle which il to be
played Saturday at Alumni field, Orono.
between Colby and Maine. The inter-
est is high not because this is the last
home game of the year but because vic
tory or defeat to Maine means the
clinching Of the State football cham
pionship or the loss Of It. Maine held
the championship for years consecu-
lively until last year, when Colby
wrested their laurels from them. Over
zoo Maine alumni are back to witness
this game. the majority Of them stop
ping over from the annual Maine Night
which always precedes the last home
game of the year. 1t is an almost ac-
knowledged fact that the winner OF this
afternoons game will be the next cham
pions of the State.
The probable lineup for the start Of
Saturdays game will be as follows:
Beverly. left end; Moulton. left tackle;
Greeley or Hussey, left guard: Green,
center; Allen or Peterson. right guard
Ruffner tcapt.), right tackle; Purington.
right end; Daley. quarterback; Gorham
or Kriger, left halfback; Krike, right
halfback: and Jones. fullback.
As an added attraction the dual cross
country run between Bates and Maine
will be run off during the first and Sec
ond quarters. The Maine team is to
consist OF Captain Bell. Preti, Dempsey.
Wunderlich. Libby, Hysom, and Cush-
man. The course will be. five-mile
one, starting and finishing on the track,
going down College street up to The
standpipe by road and through fields.
returning on the back road from Park
street to the Athletic field. 1t will be
about one-half road work with the other
half over good hills and across fields.
This is the same course that the State
cross-country championship will be bat

More work is being done this year
than ever before by the University in
the matter Of student employment.
The University has always been de-
sirous Of helping students to obtain
work, but not until this year was
such a system adopted as is now in
use.
A committee from the faculty is in
charge Of the plan with headquarters
at the general Office. Any student
desiring work registers his name, as
well AZ any particular accomplish
ment. such as stenography, typewrit-
ing, etc. He is notified whenever
there is a cali. A record is kept Of all
work performed, how much time put
In, and the amount ct money they
earn. The popularity Of this plan is
well shown by the fact that far more
calls for work. or applications are re-
ceived than there are places to work.
Among the various kinds Of work
in which students are engaged, may
b mentioned farm work, waiting on
table. assistant janitors. office work
and work about some OF the profess
sors' houses. Some correspond for
newspapers and the leading papers ia
the State are represented by regular
reporters.
The "Aggie" Club Wednesday eve-
ming listened to Dean Merrill Of the
Extension Department. who gave an
interesting talk concerning his recen,
Western and Southern trip.
The new military uniforms have
arrived and the various companies arr
presenting a more homogeneous APP
