GARDINER BOY MAY
LEAD Bates eleven
IS POWERFUL TACK. (

Lewiston. Nov. 21.-The Bates men
came out ofsthe final game Of the year
with West Point in fine condition with
the exception OF Arthur Scott. who viii
be nursing a badly bruised knee for
at least week. This big tackle was
in on every play on last Saturday and
with Captain Quincy bore the brunt Of
the West Point attack.
The Bates followers in Lewiston are
not at all disappointed with the show
ing that the Bates men made against
the Army and the work of the team
throughout the entire year is most
satisfactory.
With Saturdays game as curtain
ringer. the Garnet team has complete i
the hardest schedule in years and
managed to annex two victories and
fight Colby to a standstill out Of nine
games.
Against such opponents as Yale.
Brown and West Point the light Bates
eleven was clearly outclassed but
fought all the harder and their fight
ing spirit aga inst the big Brown team
vas an accomplishment rarely seen.
The Colby game also showed their
ability TO come from behind and they
fought against odds in the game until
they finally tied the score. Despite
SIX defeats. the Bates followers are
loud in the praise for the work done
by the Garnet eleven.
The fight has been instilled into the
Bates team by the good work of the
Coaches and the fine leadership Of
Captain Bill" Quincy. who has PLAYED
the full time in every game this sea-
son end, who is rated as one of the
best tackles ever seen on a Maine
grdiron in recent years.
a strong team is assured for Bates
rext year. for only two men, Quincy
and Davis. Will be lost by graduation.
During the coming week a captain for
next years team Will be chosen and
all indications point to Arthur Scott
Of Gardiner as the choice for the lead
lship in 1879. Other members Of the
cam who will be in the running for
the captaincy are "Henie" Bcrgmen.
MouIton, kcmpton and Guy Rowe.
Next Thursday evening the athletic
council Will meet and letters will be
awarded and a schedule for next year
will be discussed 1t is a certainty
that in 1929 Bates will be found play
ing colleges of their own size.

Baby Gators Can

You may now send home baby al

when you go south this winter, in
stead of the inevitable postal card,
Having a fine time. Wish you were

the bromide message. too, you may
hitch it to your alligator and send
them both along.
The postoffice department has so
ruled, after a discussion as to when
an alligator is a harmless, frolicsome
animal suited to be installed in the
bosom of the family as priced pet.
Some people still believe that baby
alligators are safe playmates for the
baby while others, remembering the
like grip Of those infantile gator
jaws upon an exploratory forefinger,
believe that a nice live boa constric-
tor is fully as safe.
What ever the postoffice depart

it has ruled that alligators, not to ex-
