Brunswick, Nov. 3.-Full of pep
from start to finish was the rally held
at Memorial hall this evening. Near
~ 500 pupils, undergraduates and
scores of alumni crowded into the hall
to do their bit toward showing the
football team that the entire. student
body and alumni were behind them in
their fight to defeat University Of
Maine tomorrow. The news that Bow
dom had defeated Bates in the cross
country race seems to put the fight
into the boys and to give them more
courage than the team has shown be-
fore this season.
Francis Is. Hill 'o3 of Augusta pre-
sided over the rally and there were
speeches by DIR. Frank ~ Whittier.
Coach Fred Ostcrgren, Trainer Jack
Magoe and Albert I. Gould 0S of
Waban, Mass, a former Bowdoin quar-
terbaCk. DR.. Whittier on account Of
illness, had not spoken at a rally be-
fore this season and the appearance
of the popular head of the department
of physical training was the signal for
an enthusiastic demonstration.
When Coach Ostergrcn was intro
duced, the students jumped to their
feet and gave him one of the greatest
ovations ever accorded Bowdoin
athletic coach. For more than five
minutes tho boys checrcd and chccred,
showing the coach that in spite Of the
. defeats of the past few weeks the stu
dent body was solidly behind the team
Following there was period of
| spirited singing. led by L. King Tur-
, gcon '23 OF Auburn, following which
| the college checls were rchcarscd I'M
der the leadership of Francis HILL
When the team reported for a signal
! drill at Whittier field this afternoon
/ Joe Smith, the plucky back, who was
/ badly injured in the Bates game last
I; Saturday, appeared on the field in his
: football togs and for time ran sig
nails with the team. While it is hoped
that he will not nc needed in the game
! tomorrow. he will be ready if called
! upon and will unqucstionably display
! the same grit that he showed in the
Bates game.
Coach Ostcrgrcn has given no init
| nation as to the probable lineup for
| the game tomorrow. The line will,
however probably be the Same as usual
| with Parsons at center, Tucker and
! Townsend guards, Tootcll and Mason
| tackles. c. Hildrcth and Gibbons are
the best bet for ends, with Philip at
| quarter, Al Morrcll fullback, and Nal
in the halfback positions. Captain
/ Miller will play part of the game. He
has not fully recovered from the
| drulbing he received ct Bates last
/ Saturday and will not be used more
than is necessary. 1t is toss-up as to
whether he will start the game or be
| held until the second or third period.
If Joe Smith plays, Bowdoin men
| do not expect to see MIN on the field
until we'll toward the close Of the
: game. The game is to be called
| promptly at 2 o'clock with the fol-
lowing officials: Referee, 7. +. Muir
| ply, Harvard; umpire, A. +. Dorman,
! Columbia: head linesman, L. L. Sher-
| lock, Holy Cross.
Governor Percival p. Baxter and DR.,
| Donald i. Macmillan, the Arctic ex-
plorer, will occupy seats in the Pow
| doin cheering section and one Of the
| large Esqumeau dogs which Dr. Mac
| MILAN brought homo with him from
| BafTin Land Will be used as the college
| mascot.
