Can't Beat Maine, Can't Lose to Colby, and There
You Are Brunswick Writer'S Summary
Comedies Defeat by 16 Points -Hope White
and Turner May "Come Through"

Brunswick, May 8, (speciaD.-The
Bowdoin College Track Team returned
Sunday from Boston where it went
down to defeat Friday afternoon be-
fore the strong Technology team by
the narrow margin of ten points. The
general feeling among the Bowdoin
student body was one of satisfaction
with the work Of the Varsity in Bos-
ton, and track fans are waiting eager
ly for the 22nd Annual Maine State
intercollegiate Meet which is to be
held on Saturday, May 10. at Whittier
Field, Brunswick.
1owdoin's Opportunity.
The interest in track at Brunswick
this season is the strongest it has been
for some years. Maine is picked as
the certain winner, but Bowdoin Is
expected to press the Orono team
strongly in nearly every event.
Bowdoin's weakest point is in the
dashes. With Charlie Rice of Maine
dying the century in nine and four
fifths seconds, Ziegler a close second,
and Lawry in the best Of form, the
proverbial "goose-egg" is the best the
White can expect in the hundred.
Rice and Ziegler will undoubtedly re-
peat in the 22O, with Roderick PRIME
of Bowdoin or Barrows Of Bates finish
ing in the third place.
The Hurdles for Bowdoin.
The hurdles should net Bowdoin at
least u points. Willard A. Savage OF
Bowdoin who captured both hurdles
at the New Englands last season
should wrest first place in both con-
tests from French Of Maine. with
Leigh Webber Of Bowdoin taking third
place in both events.
The mile will probably go to Maine
with Roger Bell breasting the tape
few yards ahead Of Mark Thompson
of Colby, and with either P. Thomp-
son Of Colby or Wood of Colby placing
third.
The work of Turner of Bowdoin, who
took second in the quarter at Tech
against an exceedingly fast field, has
led Bowdoin enthusiasts to believe that
the former Cony High star will prove
the winner of the 440 over Irving
Merrill of Colby with Lawrence OF
Bates the most likely candidate fol
third.
Bowdoin's chances for place In thu
two mile centre about Mosher,
freshman, and Laurence Irving, sen
Tor. Preti and Libby Of Maine will un
doubtedly capture the first two place:
in the race, and with Gregory of Bate:
doing 10 min. and one-fifth seconds
in this event, the two Bowdoin run
ners will have to move to swing the
third point to the White.
For the Half.
Bell of Maine is a favorite in the
half mile, with Turner of Bowdoir
second, and Mark Thompson Of Colby
third. Turner made bitter fight II
the $50 at Boston last Friday and was
defeated by Brown Of Tech only ir
the last 220 yards of the race. The
race at Tech was several seconds fas'
ter than has been shown yet by any
Maine runner, and unless Bell runs
to his utmost capacity he is liable t
find difficulty in defeating the Bow
dom man.
White of Bowdoin Is picked a.
Brunswick to take the high jump will
Palmer Of Maine second, and Pinkhan
Of Bates third. The broad jump will
probably go to French Of Maine will
Keaney Of Bates and Chauncey Hal
Of Bowdoin contesting holly for sec
ond with the odds slightly in favor O.
the Bates man.
Bowdoin's greatest strength is in thu
weight events. Capt. Leadbetter O.
the Bowdoin team looks good for s
first in the hammer, with Stanley O.
Maine second, and Goliath Of Bow
doin a slight favorite for third ovel
Joyce Of Colby. Bill Allen Of Main'
will take the shotput, while Leadbet
ter Of Bowdoin should capture second
and Adams of Bates third. The discus
throw will probably go to Burleigl
Moulton Of Bowdoin after a close con
test with Joyce Of Colby. while Lead
better should contribute a third t.
the Bowdoin score.
Hutton Of Maine looks good for frs
in the pole vault with Sampson o
Bowdoin close second, and Drew o
Bates topping the bar for a third.
From a conservative Bowdoin stand
point the best possible that the White
can do will find the final score stand
ing as follows: Maine, 81; Bowdoin
46; Colby, IL; Bates, Z.
