man and Bourne are the four old men
that. Colby will have to depend on dur
ing the early part of the season to
carry the ball. Cawley, is, of course,
the hub around which the whole back
field revolves, but Bourne, who was on
the injured list practically all last fall,
has some real speed and ball-carry1ng
ability that he could not show last
year, after the Harvard game. in
which he was severely injured. Red"

brother of the famous Ginger" left
college early in the year, but may re-
turn this fall.
1t seems probable that a new quarter
back will have to be developed, but 1t
comes from fairly good authority that
one Of the best prep school quarterbacks
who played in Massachusetts last year
will enter Colby next month. This should
relieve the quarterback situation, but the
backfield is by no means a well-balanced
one, and from the new material and the
old. Greene will have to make a combi-

Colby had a splendid line last fall. The
only position made vacant that will be
hard to fill is center. post that STAN
wood filed very creditably for three
years Burton, the second string center
of last year, has been graduated. LeSeur.
who had been playing at end, may 60 to
that position this fall, but it is rumored
that he intends to enter Tufts Medical
school. LeSeur proved a very valuable
offensive and defensive player. and his
loss would be felt by the Blue and Gray.
Perry and Joyce as Ends
Perry and Joyce are likely to be the
choice for ends. The former played the
position throughout 1915 and earned for
himself a place on the majority of ALL
Maine teams. Joyce played at guard and
tackle the early part OF the season. but
was later tried out at end and proved one
of the big surprises Of the year. He Is
tall. fast and aggressive and hard man
to elude in an open field.
Coolidge and Heath are very sure OF
holding down their berths at tackle. Both
have been picked for All Maine caliber. 1t
will be a difficult matter to dislodge Dea-
sew and Stinson from their places at
guards. Both are thorough students of
the game. Stnson played four years with
coburn before coming to Colby.

COLBY WARRIORS
HEAR CALL TO
PRACTICE FIELD

Waterville. Me, Sept 4.-Coach Ro-
ger Greene has issued a formal call
for Colby football candidates to report
for practice September II. The first
game of the season, that with the big
crimson eleven at the Stadium, comes
September 90 or the Saturday preced-
ing the opening of the local college.
This naturally, does not give the men
much of an opportunity to get in trim
for the Harvard team, but Coach
Greene hopes that an early response
to his call will facilitate the training
problem for the first game.
Although few names will be given
out, it is understood. that a wealth of
new material is coming to the Water
vile gridiron this fall and with the
nucleus Of last seasons eleven to work
with, strong team should be devel-
oped. Those who are closest to the
real conditions feel certain that Colby
will hang another championship ban
ner in her gym, this fall. Stanwood
captain of the 1915 eleven, Schuster,
a fast half back, Kolseth. lineman,
and Taft, a substitute back, are the
only men who were lost to the team
by graduation.
