COLBY COLLEGE
LONG SIGNAL PRACTICE
FOR COLBY ELEVEN

The Colby football team went
through a long signal and formation
practice yesterday afternoon. They
had a hard game Saturday with Maine
but harder one coming next Satur-
day with New Hampshire State. 1t
Will be harder game for two rea-
sons, first because the Colby line is
badly crippled by the loss of Moose
Cook who will be out of the game for
I the rest Of the season due to the fact
. that he received serious injuries to his
ankle in the Maine game. and second
Is because they will be up against
a heavier and more experienced eleven.
Also they will probably lose the SER
vices of Arthur Burckel, the right
tackle. He broke his middle finger in
the Brown game at the first of the
season and although it had not mend
ed Saturday, he played the whole of
the game after the same finger had
been broken in the first play. Burckel
is the one man that Colby needs to
fill the position for at all times he
has the fight and grit TO play the game
for all that is in it.
The men went through long drill
yesterday on different formations and
plays. The coaches seem pleased with
the progress that the team is making
and all forces are turned to make next
Saturday a victorious day. Young
is probably the best kicker in the
state of Maine today and is sure to do
his part to perfection.
Monday night at the Colby chape!
all the debating students gathered
and they had a general debate on the
questions: Resolved: THAT all the
fraternities at Colby College should
Immediately adopt new pledgng sys-
tenn" The affirmative and negative
were taken at will and some very
good points were brought before the
house and discussed. About 80 were
present and those that were there saw
the use and system that the debating
men take OH at Colby. In the near
future debating at Colby College will
be a major subject and will have the
importance and interest that it has
needed in the past
