hall squad passed Friday afternoon
disportine themselves on the Bruns-
wick golf club course by way OF relax
alton from three days Of strenuous
practice before the Holy Cross game
at Bayside park, Portland on Satur-
day.
Owing to the fact that this is to be
the only collegiate game in the state
this week and also because OF the
great number Of supporters that both
Bowdoin and Holy Cross have In
Maine, this game is looked forward to
with great interest by football enthu-
siasts The Holy Cross squad arrived

parts Of the games in good form, and

outcome Of the struggle will be, but
owing to Bowdoin's disabilities Holy

lay it until the last period as in the
Maine game.
The following is the probable lineup
of the game ::
