MORRELL FAMILY
FRIENDLY FEuD TO
Be FOUGHT OUT SAT,

Il will b brother against brother

Bowdoin. will also go on the field
Saturday with the only twins on a
football team in the east and prob
ably in the entire country. Their
names are Hildreth, they came from
Gardiner, Me-, and strangely enough.
their father, the late Guy Hildreth.
is a graduate of Tufts.
To get back to the Morrell clash
CAP has score to settle with Bro
Ither Bill. Last May, Bowdoin met
Tufts on the latter's baseball diamond
at Medford, with Al playing short
stop for the white. while Bill, star
pitcher, did not happen to draw the
assignment to face Bowdoin.
Accordingly. he went out on the
coaching lines, and every time the
Brunswick team took the field. Bill
scampered out and took his place in
the coaching box alongside third
base, only a few feet from where Al
was playing short. From there he
directed a rapid and continuous fire
OF comment toward the abilities of
the Bowdon fielder. If ever a man
was kidded. he was AL Morrell.'
The memory of that game will ling
or long in the Bowdoin's brothers
memory. Five errors did he make,
before the last man was out in the
ninth. The final score was Tufts 9,
Bowdoin 4. Brother Bill takes much
OF the credit for that victory.
Later on in May the two teams
met again, this time at Bayside Park,
and there Brother AL obtained much
OF his revenge. Bill was on the pit
cher's mound for Tufts that day, but
only for two innings. brief while the
Mcdford collcSians were at bat, but
decidedly lengthy while the Bowdoin
players were standing at the plate.
Before Bill could retire those six
men, there had been 10 hits poled out
and II runs had crossed the plate.
Al was one of the leaders in the as
salt on his brother. At his three
times at bat facing Bill. he made two
hits. reached first on an error and
! scored three runs.
Two innings were enough for Bill
ard then Steve Colucci took up the
| pitching burden. But the damage
lad been done. The final score was
, Bowdoin -. Tufts 9, it being one of
, the four defeats given the NIedford
; college in "a games.
. Last fall, again at Bayside Park.
| Brothers Bill and AL clashed. the
! former playing end for Tufts and the
latter fullback for Bowdoin. In a
quagmire, with mud reaching over
the ankles of the players, due to the
snow the previous day, Bowdoin won
! by a score of 90 to 0.
Saturdays meeting Of the three
/ brothers will he the last time they
! will ever play against each other as
! college players, as they are all slated
! to receive their diplomas in June.
| Compared with some former falls.
! there will be few "brother vs. broth
! or'' clashes on the football field. Two
| years ago it was Harry Robertson Of
/ Syracuse against brother Jim Rob-
crtson of Dartmouth. and their meet
! ing, with Jim in the big green's back
field, and Harry in the orange line.
| was a classic. Again there were the
I Callahans-Capt. Mike of Princeton,
and Capt. Tim Of Yale, who strug-
g!ed against each other while their
mother looked on and prayed that
neither would be injured.
This year there is Judge" Neid-
linger Of Dartmouth. and Newell
! Neidlinger of Yale, but unfortunately
these two teams do not meet Yale
