ries. namely the games with Bates,
Colby and Bowdoin in that order.
In the senior class two men. Pat
French and Hubby Hitler, have earn
ed their letters. French was out for
football this year for the first time.
He got his start in the game with
Bates at Lewiston. He has shown
when in the games this year that he
is probably the best kicker in the
State. His long. high, punts, have been
a feature Of any kicking duelling that
Maine has run up against. He has
been a fast man in the backf1eld and
despite injuries in the Colby game and
the Bowdoin battle last Saturday has
proven fast with the ball. He has
won his letter in track for three years
ball.
Hitler, who has fought almost every
night for position on the team with
out success until this year, gets his
letter and by getting it wins the admi-
ration Of the student body, for there
hasn't been man fight any harder
on class teams than this same boy
from Marion, Mass. Hitler his first
year as we'll as his second in the uni
versity went out for the team but fall

the junior class gets his letter this
year.

Mass. went out this year for the first
time and easily made the team, being
used in the backfield, position in place OF
French when the latter was out and fill
ing in also at halfback. "Stubby Furey,"
Sliteu tne IeIeTeo OF the COlDy-Malne
game at Watervilie, lin a couple Of years
will make one Of the best quarterbacks
the State has ever SEEN" He has played
with superb headwork all the season and
has exhibited the best knowledge in run
ming the team of any OF Hughitt's quar-
terback men.
Two freshmen, "Wappi" White. former
ly Of Orono High, and Art Cour Of Port
landi. center on Portland High schools
team last year, have won their letters and
have shown promise toward becoming
better players for Maine in years to come.
White will make fine end, as several old
football men stated last Saturday after
the Bowdoin game, and Court for his
strength and weight will probably develop
into one Of the best centers Maine has
ever had.

Grams in the team have letters: Captain
William J. Gorham, James E. Speirs '1S,
Portland; Jerry T. Reardon. Henry A.
