Maine College
Football Series
Full of SURPRISES

The Maine college football series
this fall to date has been replete
with surprises. and possibly no per-
sons in the whole State have been
more surprised at the results than
the members of the four teams.
Certainly it has been a tough season
for the dOpesters, who have seen
most every prediction smashed.
, The Colby eleven looks good for
the championship with one game
won, none lost and one tied. and a
win over Bates in the coming con-
test will give them Il clear field.
However, if Colby should lose TO
Bates. and Maine should defeat
Bowdoin, Bates and Maine would be
tied for the lead with two games
won and one lost. If Colby should
be defeated by Bates, and BoWdoin
should be the winner over Maine. the
championship would go to Bates.
Colby and Bowdoin would be tied
for second place, and Maine would
land in the cellar position, now held
by the Bowdoin eleven.
In view of the importance of the
two remaining contests in the series.
they should prove to be thrillers and
even bigger drawing cards than the
previous games. Maine and Bow
dom will meet next Saturday at
Orono, and it is understood that the
Bates Colby game at Waterville will
be played on November II, Arm
istice Day, instead of next Saturday.
The present standing of the four
teams is as follows:

Watervile, Oct. 29-The Colby foot
ball squad received but light work.
out this afternoon after the tough
est game that they have played this
year. With the exception of Sulli-
van and Carson, the Blue and Gray
pigskin chasers came out Of the
Maine game with little or no injur-
les. Most Of the men reported sore
muscles and a tired feeling today to
Head Coach Green as a result Of the
strenuous work Saturday afternoon.
While 1t Is not known definitely,
1t Is thought that Sullivan and Car
son will not see any more service on
the Blue and Gray team until the
last game of the season with Dart
mouth at Hanover. Sullivan has
several torn muscles in his shoulder
and broken nose as we'll as strain
ed ligaments in his side. Carson tore
two of his ribs apart when he was
tackled in the game and has suffered
intense pain since.
The loss of these two men will be
serious blow to the Blue and Gray
aggregation as they are valuable
material. Their loss will be felt in
the game Saturday with Boston Uni
versity but more so in the deciding
game of the State series week from
Saturday with Bates.

Robs Peter To Pay Y
Paul-Digit for Nose

Sydney, N. S. W., Oct. 2 "a. P. by
MaiD-The successful grating Of q
new nose on to the face of a human
being has been made possible by
the wonders and triumph Of modern
surgery, it was demonstrated here
recently when the operation was
performed on Thomas Kilcullen at
Sydney hospital.
Kilkullen lost his nose through an
operation. Surgeons expressed the
belief that they could graft nose
to his face. using the middle finger
Of his left hand for the missing
organ.
The delicate and painful operation
took three weeks. The finger. still
attached to Kilkullen's hand. was
bound closely to his face after the
skin had been prepared to make
the grating possible. His left hand
and arm were bandaged so that they
could not be moved and in that
position Kilkullen remained until the
graft was completed. when the
finger was severed from the hand.
The surgeons said that Kilkullen
will be able to breathe through the
the transplanted finger and will
even be able to blow it. They could
not guarantee that Il would serve
as an organ with which Kilcullen
could distinguish odors.
