COLBY COLLEGE
Football Scrimmage in Snow

Colby continued to practice for the
Holy Cross game yesterday in spite
Of the fact that the ground was COW
cred with snow and the cold wind
blew strongly. Signal practice for
the first team and forward pass
scrimmage for both teams made up
the afternoons work. Young threw
passes for team B against team A
most of the afternoon. E,nholm
Sullivan and Young kicked punts for
Huhn and Dunnack to run back. The
team is in good condition but the in
Jured list is the same, Cook out with
water on the knee and Burckel out
with broken finger. Burckel may
play the game Saturday for he has
already played three games, with it
as it is.
The team will practice today for
the last time before the game. 1t
will probably be a short practice that
will send the men down full Of pep
and fight. The lineup is as follows:
Soule lie, Lowery 1t, Brown liz. En-
holm C. Monaghan re-, Burckel rt.
Dolbeare re. Young OBJ, Millett lib.

of 30 men will make the trip but

A peculiar mishap occurred
Wednesday forenoon about . o'clock

articles. The bedstead was badly
scorched and the art square also
burned. The driver said that he

administered to Kent's Hill last Sat-
urday by Hebron puts them out OF
the championship series. Hebron
has one victory to her credit, while
both Westbrook and Coburn each
have one defeat and one victory.
Should Hebron win the game Sat-
urday with Westbrook Seminary,
she can claim q clear title to the
championship. for though she has
not played Coburn, she has beaten
Kent's Hill. who in turn scored q TO
victory over the Waterville warriors.
Much interest centers about the
game Saturday and 1t will probably
draw a record crowd. There seem
to be certain rumors about that in
the first game Of the season. Hebron
was beaten by Wilton Academy. This
game, however, was strictly q Sec
ond team game and Coach Dwyer
sent only second team men into this
game. 1t in no way affects the
claims in the championship series.
