Maine ANXIOUS
To SETTLEP0INT

Large Amount of Friendly Rival

Orono, Me. Feb. 16.-(SpeciaD.-
The University Of Maine students and
relay authorities are still of the belief
that their team could beat that Of
Bowdoin at a matched race that might
be arranged by the managers of the
two teams. No small amount of
friendly rivalry has arisen between
the colleges over the outcome of the
recent races at Boston. The relay
championship of Maine went to Bow
dom by award of the officials of the
Boston Athletic Association, on Feb.
B. On that evening Colby was beaten
by Maine in the semi-finals, at the
same time that Bowdoin was winning
from Bates. However. the injury of
pulled tendon prevented Charlie Zeig-

Their participation. and the final.
scheduled between Bowdoin and
Maine, was not run. Consequently the
decision went to Bowdoin by default.
1t may be said. in justice to the Bow
dom team, that they wanted Maine to
substitute man in Zeigler's place.
but the rules of the meet would not
allow this. Therefore, theoretically.
Bowdoin is recorded on paper as the
champions of 1916, and whether the
two teams will engage in relay final
