WATERvILLE

Although the gates are tightly closed
on the Colby football practice rumors
of what is going on there leak out oc-
casionally and they are of a sort to
throw surprise into the camps of the
football followers in the city. Not the
least of them are that Deasey and
Coolidge, who were considered two of
the strongest men on the eleven at the
beginning of the season had been sent
to the scrub, as a result of the game
that they played against the Maine
team. Their places on the Varsity are
being taken by Knox and Joyce and
the report has it that the two latter
far outplayed the regulars. Perry also
has been sent to the scrub and a new
man by the name of Blades is play
ing at his end. Captain Cawley is
playing at the quarterback position and
Bressett, Kalloch and Hendricks are
filling the other places. Bourne. who
played a splendid game in the Maine
farce comedy, has gone to his home in
Boston as his father is very i'll, and it
is not expected that he will be in the
Bates game. The team is being driven
hard every night this week so far and
has stood the strenuous work in good
shape. It is estimated that some fur
Their surprises are in store for the pa
irons of the game on Saturday and
that something better than a High
school exhibition may be expected from
the team which realizes that it has a
hard fight to defeat Bates and will
work the limit as a victory means the
championship.

Rev. w. F. Berry, secretary of the

that the league is to make fight dur
ing the coming session of the Legisla-
ture for law which will make unlaw-
full the sale of the so-called Uno beer,
which contains less than three per
cent. of alcohol. This stuff as now be-
ing sold contains drugs which made
far more deadly than the real liquor
and the men who drink it do not get
drunk, but drugged and are fully as
much trouble for the police as the
DRINKS, with which they are classed
In every city there are a number of
these places, which keep this stuff and
sell great quantities of it, and in a
majority of them under its mask some
of the other liquors are sold. Mr. Ber-
ry also has announced that the league
feels that Governor-elect Milliken is to
make a real effort for enforcemnt when
he gets in power and that all the re-
sources Of the league are to be at his
call to help out The organization is
out to make Maine dry State in, fact
as we'll as in name and will do all pos
sible for that end, which they hope to
accomplish with the aid Of a Governor
who believes in law enforcement.
