Basketball practice is in full swing
with road work every other day. This
means two to three miles of regular
track work in order to develop wind
and endurance. The first scrmmage
held Monday night at 80 was as
lively as could be desired. Coach
Smith plans to stage a series of in
terclass games in the near future.
Each team will play two games with
each of its opponents before the final
elimination.
Football practice was not to be de-
layed by such thing as snow and
so a score of willing workers urged
on by the promise of exemption from
gym work diligently scraped the
field for the regular afternoon work
out.
Final arrangements are being made
for a debate with Yale to be held at
Lewiston probably around the 10th of
December. The debate will undoubt-
edly be held in the city hall as it was
last year. Many will recall the de-
bate of last year when the Bates team
composed Of Young, Starbird and
Watts demonstrated their superiority
so clearly that they obtained a unani-
nous decision in favor of Bates. Just
who will make up this years team
against Yale is not yet definitely de
cided but will be announced as soon
as the final trials have been held. AL
though the Boston Journals solemn,y
affirm that this debate is only intended
as practice contest before the COM
ing Yale Harvard debates, there are
many who suspect that after her le-
feat last year. Yale viii send her three
best men TO wipe out the uneven score.
Whatever the case Bates can be de-
pended on to bacl: her team with it's
splendid record
One of the features of the Holy
Cross game which should appeal to all
loyal Bates men and women was the
presence of cheering section COM
posed of members of the Alumni AS
ISOLATION of Massachusetts. The Bos-
ton club took the initiative and provid-
cd fleet of automobiles to carry
Bates grads to the game. After the
game the Worcester club entertained
the Boston club at a banquet in the
city. The football squad and the
coaches were also present at this BAN
quet which was one of the :iveliest
meetings yet staged by the pepfui
Massachusetts grads
