Waterville, Nov. 22.-The various
representatives of the fraternities of
Colby college are to meet some time
the first of next week with Professor
c. Harry Edwards, director of ply
steal education, to make arrange
ments for the annual inter-mural
basketball series which will be again
staged this year. 1t is thought that
the season will start as soon after
the Christmas holidays as possible
and every fraternity will play every
other fraternit two games for the
championship of the college.
Last ear the Phi Delta Theta fra
ternity practically walked away with
the large blue and gray banner
which was offered as a trophy. This
year there threatens to be a more
furiousiy contested series and the
team which wins will have to bend
every energy to accomplish this fete.
In the freshman class there is some
exceptionally fine material and with
out doubt they will play a large
part in the proposed games.
In all probability there will be
eight teams represented in the league.

behavior in public places in Paris
and in the provinces.

all the sporting honors, which is
better. I understand that the FEEDER

fight over the double six route. Bill
DUDE Of Brunswick outfought the
Utah Kid of Bangor. in the main
bout at the Waterville Armory to-

to Dube's jaw. DUDE sent in enough
blows to win the round, The Kid
came back and sent over two nice
blows to the head and one to the
face. Utah was trying to wear DUDE
out but took a good beating in the
attempt. Before the sixth round,
Utah was warned ~ the referee
about stalling. He came back with
Il lot of action, but showed little re-
suits, the round going 20 DUDE.
During the intermission between
the two skies. Utah was booed and
razzed by the crowd. At the open
ing of the second six. the fighters
were careful. Utah was fighting
from a crouching position and land
ed few blows. The fight progressed
very slowly with both men falling to
show much action. DUDE punched
Ctah's jaw consistently without re-
suits. Utah opened up during the
next two rounds, playing Dube's jaw
to an advantage. 1t was the first
time during the set-to that Utah
showed signs of fighting. Not beins

down and DUDE took the lead. The
final round started like whirf wind
