COLBY COLLEGE

The football schedule for next fall
was announced Saturday. This sched-
ule is hard one. as beside from
four Maine colleges Colby will uloy
Harvard. Holy Cross and the Nac4l
Academy. with one date still open.
There will he in all eight games. An
effort IS being made to secure Fort
Mckinley for the opening game On
Oct 4. The first scheduled game is
with Harvard at Cambridge on Oct.
Ii. The Maine college series starts
on Oct Is. Two games will be played
in Watervillle, but there is a it'll,
difficulty with the Bowdoin games,
as BOwdoin does not wish to play In
Waterville next fall. But as Colby
played at Brunswick this last fall,
there would appear to be no reason
why Bowdoin should not play in Wa
terville this next fall. The season Will
end with the game with Annapolis
Academy at Annapolis.
The schedule:
oct 4-Open.
Oct. l1-Harvard at Cambridge
Oct. lS-Bates at Waterville.
Oct 35-Bowdoin at Waterville.
Nov. MAINE at Orono.
Nov. S-Holy Cross at Worcester.
Nov l5-Naval Academy at Anndp-
oils.
Much interest has been aroused 1T
the college the past week by the an
nouncement that all discharged SOL
diers would receive n bonus of SEQ.
There was some doubt expressed Is
to whether the former members of
the Student Army Training Corps
would receive this money. but Har-
vey ID. Eaton. chairman of the local
exemption board at Waterville. OK
pressed it as his opinion that the s.
a. T. c. would receive the bonus. Mr..
Eaton has talked with the adjutan,
general Of tn State. and has since
received n letter from him in which
the adjutant general stats that he
knows no reason why the men will
not receive the bonus just as much
as any soldier. Many of the men have
already sent in their applications. AS
very large percentage of the men
at the college have either been in lie
5. \. T. c. or in the regular army.
this money will be a great boon. es-
pecially il it comes before the end
of tn college year. as being thrown
out Of the army in the middle Of tho
college year left many stranded Or
nearly so financially.
The second debate of the serie:;
which is being held under the aus
