SERVICE TEAM WILL
REPRESENT MILITARY
POST AT BOWDOIN

Brunswick. Me-. Oct. 3.-A service
team will represent Bowdoin Col
leg on the football field this fall. The
decision to have team represent the
military post was made Wednesday
afternoon when Lieut.. w. H. Wright,
the acting commander Of the corps,
called the members of Student Army
Training Corps together and explain
ed that every enlisted man must
physical exercise from $50 TO AS
every afternoon.
AS it is prescribed that athletics
cannot interfere with the strict mil
itary program which has been
mapped out for every day in the
week it will evidently be impossi-
BILE for the Bowdoin team to journey
far, as the schedule will keep the
men busy up to go every Saturday.
After that it will be possible for the
members of a team to get off, so that
it is presumed that games will be
arranged with the service teams at
Eates and Colby. if those posts are
represented, as well as with service
teams from the Portland forts and
naval district.
No plans have as yet been made
for selecting captain or manager
for the team, but it is generally
thought that Ainslee Drummond. who
played a fast game at end last sea-
son. will stand an excellent chance
of being chosen to lead the outdt.
Some of the boys got into their
suits during the athletic hour
Wednesday afternoon aI> spent the
time in booting 4 football around
Whittier field. 1t is doubtful If a
formal call for candidates will be
issued much before Saturday, but it
would not be at all surprising to
see the largest football squad IN the
history of Bowdoin report on Whit
tier field that afternoon.

NAVAL RESERVE
AT BATES COLLEGE

Lewiston, Oct. 3.-President Chase
Of Bates college announced today the
receipt by Commandant Black Of
telegram from the United States
government saying that naval reserv-
lists are to be incorporated with the
Students Army Training corps at
Bates. with the pay, allowance and
all the rights of reg Larry enlisted
men in the navy.
Since the announcement Of the in
stitution Of the Students Army
Training corps at Bates. says Presi-
dent Chase, we have received many
Inquiries as to the standing and OPP
portunitics OF the young men who are
enlisted in the Naval Reserve ard
also of those who wish to enter the
naval unit. Not a few Bates men
had enlisted as naval reservists who
were eager to return to this college
and yet who did not want to sacri-
flee an opportunity to serve in the
navy when required. This resulted
in much discussion, advocating the
establishment of a naval unit at the
Lewiston college.
Many students. President Chase
went on to say. found they were too
late to be transferred to a given COL
lege having such a naval unit, al
though there are few such institu-
tons today where these units are not
yet filled. The present solution CT
the question is most satisfactory.
The naval unit to be established at
Bates will be incorporated with the
Army Training corps ard will be I'M
der the same commandment. The
members will receive the pay, allow
ances. privileges and rights of men
enlisted in the navy. This will re-
suit in retaining at Bates a group Of
loyal students who otherwise might
have felt obliged to go elsewhere. It
also will invite the attention OF other
Maine and New England young men
who may desire to get into a naval
unit and yet be able to attend college
until called.
