COLBY COLLEGE
Colby May Not
Meet Bates Next
Fall or Gridiron

If things continue as they are GO
ing now, Colby will not meet Bates
at football next fall and the Maine
State football series will receive a
bad jolt. In addition to this it does
not seem as if Bowdoin and Bates will
come to a conclusion either. The
trouble arises over the same old
thing the rotating schedule.
Bates has been the first team to
play in the past years, and Colby has
usually played before Maine or Bow
dom. At Orono, Nov. 4, when the
Maine Intercollegiate cross country
championship run was held, the rep
resentatives in football of the differ
ent colleges discussed the plans of
the rotating schedule next year
Bates is effected the most by the
scheme. Maine and Bowdoin are
satisfied with the conditions and Col
by is also willing to play on the
dates of the games. No definite ac-
ton was reached during the meeting
so things are about the same.
Oct. IA is the usual date for the
game of Colby and Bates and next
year it falls on Nov. 4. Maine AMI
Bowdoin have always played on the
day that Bates and Colby have play
ed. Colby is willing to play anything
If Bates will come to Waterville,
since game at Lewiston and a game
at Brunswick. both championship
games would lose money for all the
colleges. Colby is willing to play on
the old date if the schedule does not
go into effect.
Fifteen teams have offered games
to Colby, for Nov. A.. Boston Uni
versity is making arrangements for
Oct. IA. 1t has been delayed so long
that Colby will have to fill her sched-
ule soon.
