Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Lewiston Sept. 24-AltEougb the

1uce IN this line as only the oio men

team Bates prospects this year are
excellent. Captain Mckinley is

In the state run and placed third In
the New England contest. He 10 we'll
fitted tc lead the Garnet this year
being the ablest cross country and
distance runner since the famous Ray
Buker. "Cyk" has team mates of one
or more years experience. Holt "a
is q consistent plugger who always
finishes well up toward the front.
This Is his fourth year at the hill and
dale game and he Is out to make
name for himself Hurley "a broke
into the game last year and justified
Coach jenkins confidence in him. He
can be counted on to repeat this year.
Dorr '25 and Wilson '25 also made the
team for the first time last year Dorr
is a runner of the bulldog type which
cannot be excelled for the cross coun-
try game Wilson is a middle distance
runner as well as a contestant for a

His friends are looking for big things

able that the entering class will furn-
ish several strong contenders. Cap

better since Ray Buker led the Car
