Maine Colleges
May Delay Start
Football Season

Indications are that next fall will
find the Maine college football cham
pionship series started a week later
than has been the rule There has been
an undercurrent for some time tend
ing to break up this State series but
it is expected that the break will not
come in making out the schedules for
next fall.
Under the schedules now played by
the four Maine colleges. the players
have to be primed for a championship
game very early in the season and
kept on edge for three successive Sat
urdays. This is task Of no mean size,
OF course. Were the colleges to stop
their play with the third game Of the
series, the schedule would be very
short. If a game is played after the
series. It finds the players ill-condi-
toned to make their best showing be-
cause they have already been pointed
for three Saturdays in succession in
the States title.
BY placing the three games Il week
later in the fall, an extra game can be
worked into the schedule by all four
institutions. The only drawback will
be poor ground conditions and i'm this
State snow is likely to mess up the
Sridirons much sooner than in the Bay
Stlae and farther south

oriain Of "Plasiariss.s

One who appropriates-that is, steals
the literary work Of another to use it
as his own thought, tho child Of his
own brain, is guilty of plagiarism, as
everybody knows, yet few are acquaint-
ed with the derivation Of the word or
know that the plagiarist is literally a
child stealer. Among a certain class Of
criminals in Rome In the time Of the
earlier Caesars there existed the fear
full custom of stealing children and
selling them as slaves. According to
Roman law, the child stealers when de-
tected received as part of the penalty
for their crime severe Jogging. Al
the Latin word playa signifies stripe
or lash, the ancient kidnapers were
termed "plagiarf'-that Is. deserving Of
stripes. So both the crime and the
criminals received their names from
the casigation inflicted.
