COLBY COLLEGE
Signal Drill Only
for Varsity on
Eve of Bates Game

Ih2 Colby team had its last prac-
ticc before the Bates game Friday
afternoon at Seaverns field. Coach
McAuliffe gave his men no scrim-
mage but, sent them through long
signal drill, after which they hit the
dummy until DIRK. Young and Sui
Ivan and findholme devoted a good
part of their time to drop-kicks and
punts.
/ Young is new man, coming from
Philadelphia. and has proved to the
coaches that he knows football.
Therefore, he will probably start the
game today at quarterback. Worme,
the other quarterback and a man who
played last year, seems to be a little
light for the position but Coach Nc
Auliffe has~not said who will start
the game.
Dunnack, another new man. Will
probably start the game at right half.
He has showed good fight 50 far and
played dependable game down at
Brown. Either Millett or Royal will
start the game at right half. Millett
ines from Whitman, .Mas.., and
r~tay be said to be as good man as
There is in the hackfield. Royal il;
not a nc wI1,an as he played some
laS year but never has he shown I'D
as well as this year He plays hard
fast game. Hendricks will start tho
game at full back. He is a rather
short man but as fast as lightning.
Sullivan is also a full back bat has
had trouble With his legs and mas
not had the workouts with the team
on account of that
.McGary or Callahan will play left
end. Both are fast and can slip
through knothole for tackle if
need be. Dolbears or Soule will take
care Of the other and there is not
much choice between them. Dolbe are
baSe had more experience. SO it is
thought that he will be selected to
start.
Capt. Lowery will play left tackle
and these who have PLAYED against
him say, that he can take care OF
that place to perfection. No man
eyer played harder. more persistent
than the Colby captain.
The ether tackle position will be
taken care of by Endholme, the hus-
ky All Maine man who PLAYED center
last YEAR. Either Woodlock or Huhn
will play the center position and al
though they have not played as much
aG the former center they have great
help inthe two guards that flank
them. Brown will play the right po-
sition and either Cock or Moynahan
the other. Brown has been PLAYING
for two years for Colby ard can hold
his cwn against the others. Cook
also IS veteran and has had good
deal Of experience. Moyrahan. the
othec guard is q now man but all the
year has PLAYED strong game
against his heavier team mates ard
comes out considered the best guard
on the right side of the line. Movna-
han will nroh2 bly, start as Cook
seems to be having an off spell but
things arc doubtful as to how it will
turn out

Night Before Rally

Colby held its regular rally last
night prior to the Bates game today,
and it was a success. { Every body
turned out to the affair and it seems
to be the same old spirit that pre-
vailed year ago. Verybody on the
Colby campus last night caught that
spirit and today that same~spirit will
be seen on Seaverns Field about half
past two. Come and gct little bit
of it, it will do you good.
?. The college band, made up of Is
pieces, started things off with a bang
ON to Victory was the selection and
this was followed by the college cheers
and more songs. Words of wisdom
were spoken by Manager Cushman con-
corning the attendance at rallies and
games. Mike Ryan spoke on tie COM
ing game and said the team has the
Stuff to win. Assistant Coach Edwards
gave his opinion of the Colby spirit
saying that before he came to Colby
he had heard of it's spirit and pep
but that never realized that college
could have so much. Coach McAu-
life reminded the gathering that to-
day President Roberts and Professor
Hubbard's birthdays and that the
team ought to make them present
of a victory. He stated that SO far
the breaks have been against. rather
than for Colby, and it was about time
for them to change. But he added,
"wc are not going to wait for the
breaks. We are going right in and win
that game"
There were a few more cheers and
the band played "On to Victory" All
the students wills meet at the campus
at $50 O'Clock today to march to the

very appreciative audience.
Mr. Hanson is speaking to the
master plumbers in different parts of
the State on the peculiar problems
Q series of interesting charts giving
information relative to various phases
of the work.
BY comparison of the natural de-
nand for food and clothing and also
OF plumbing, and then of the de
mand for these things created by
modern sales methods, he showed
that the plumbers were sadly lacking
in their methods of selling. He also
displayed chart showing that Of
100 children who were born in
homes having modern plumbing 81
would live to reach the age of five,
while If there was no modern con-
Neniences, only so would reach this
uSe.
A very interesting matter came up
when he proved TO the men present
that they were not making anything
on the labor of their men at present
wages as their overhead expenses ate
up all profit. This talk was very
well received and there is no doubt
that it was worth a lot to those pres
