Colby to Tackle
Brown Bear in His
Native Lair Saturday

1t was definitely stated yesterday
morning that Ralph Young, the
1ashy quarterback last year is out Of
the game for the season. Last wear
he played under great difficulty with
bad shoulder and two poor knees
and this year it was thought that
he would be better off If he stayed
away from the gridiron. During the
summer he strained his knee again
and was laid up for several DAYS
The loss of Young will severely eff
feet the hopes of the Colby mentor.
HUM was out for practise yesterday
and went through strenuous after
Moons work at center. Last year the
Philadelphia boy showed some great
form in the center of the line but
this year he has more stiff opposi-
ton in Carnegie. Crafty, Abbott,
Bartlett and Chafetz.
There is now an abundance Of ex-
celent line material and Coach Snow
is trying out some of the likely line
men in the backfield where he is in
want of more material. This years
line promises TO be one of the best
that the Blue and Grey has had in
several seasons. this was forcibly
shown last Saturday in the game
with Boston University. It was very
apparent that no backfield. even one
with the reputation for plunging as
the Boston boys had, could buck e
Snow line with any degree of sue
cess. With a dependable kicker like
NIillett and stone wall defense. the
Colby eleven should be able to stave
off the heaviest of opponents.
If reports can be depended on.
Brown has one of the most offensive
teams that she has had in years and
as the Blue and Grey is considered
to have a far superior team than
in previous years, there should be a
tight game on Andrews field in Prov
idence next Saturday. However, the
Brunions depended almost entirely
on tackle and center plays last Sat
urday in swapping the light Rhode
Island State team and it is very
doubtful if they can use the same
tactics with Colby.
Coach Snow had a squad of men
tdCkllHS lne dummy IN an SITOfC TO
iron out some of the faults in that
line last Saturday. About a dozen
men We're kept pretty busy for a
greater part of the afternoon diving
at the leather image. A consider
able bit of time was also spent on
the offensive line plays and punting.
After strenuous bit of work on
these features. the Colby mentor led
the entire squad into the gym and
drawing up a blackboard. he pro-
ceeded to give a long and intensive
skull practise. The different squads
were again led onto the field and
made to run off the plays that they
had learned during the blackboard
drill.
The entire squad is rapidly round
ing into excellent shape and after
the Brown game should be in fine
condition to tackle the first game of
the state series with Bates at Lewis
ton. The players are all awaiting the
Bates game to endeavor to make
real impression on the Garnet, in
stead of merely tying them as they
did last year.

COLBY COLLEGE

Another episode in the history of the
freshman, or maybe the sophomore
class, occurred Tuesday night some
time after 10 o'clock, when a band of
soph vigilantes gathered at one Of the
fraternity houses on the campus and

ministration of additional chastise-
ment for the failure of a dozen or
more freshies to obey the edicts of

quietly made the rounds of all the DOR

G.. O. P. Backs Present
U. S. Economic System
Declares Beveridge

Columbus. O.. Oct. s.-Whether the
present economic system Is to be de-
velopel by the Republican party or
revolutionized by the Democratic par
ty is the real issue Of the times. de-
clared Albert j. Beverage, Indiana's
Republican senatorial nominee. in an
address here this afternoon opening
the campaign of his party in Ohio.
The Republican party. Mr.. Beverage
said, holds the theory that the pres
ent economic system is fundamentally
sound and that American institutions
meet all human questions better than
any existing or proposed plan Of gov
eminent.
An antagonistic theory. he said, is
held "by conglomeration of political
elements made up of the larger frag-
ment of the Democratic party, Socialist
organizations and extreme radicals
who are convinced that our whole eco
nomic system is fundamentally wrong
and that American institutions are
Anticipated and inadequate
Selection of these two theories is
the profound and elemental issue Of
the times" Mr.. Beveridge said.
Mr.. Beverages address. inaugural
ing the campaign of the Ohio Republic
cans. was made by request and he said
that the presidents administration has
made progress unequalled and unap-
preached during the same time by that
of any other existing government. He
added that until prosperity is fully re-
stored a Republican Congress is as
indispensable as a Republican presi-
dent.
American transportation must be
free from the iron hand of artificial
and arbitrary governmental direction
and placed once more under the control
of economic law" said Mr. Beveridge.
