BEST PLAYERS
FOR BROWN GAME

especial to the Kennebec JournaN
WaterVllle. Oct. 3-The jink hit the
Colby football eleven in the neck as
usual today when it became known
On the campus that in all probab ilitv
iiVe OF the best linemen will be miss
ing from the game when the Blue
ana Gray faces Brown in Providence.
ne Jlnk, which seems to follow the
,ocai college closely, is playing a full
mana this fall in taking out these
I've I've men whose presence in the
brown game might mean a fine
showing.
The men who probably will not see
1Ctloh IN 1he game this week end are
Captain Burckel, Sullivan. Went
worth, Goodrich and Hascall. Can
tam Burckel and Goodrich received
INJURIES last week, the Blue leader
iaN!hS very sore side which neces-
STATED his being taken from the
game with Westbrook last Saturday
AFTERNOON. Goodrich, who has been
showing up good all this season and
VINO was one of the strongest line
men on the team last fall, received p
mean cut on the face last week in
scrlmmage and probably will not see
any more action until the state series.
wentworth is at the present time
lnelltglble to play because of the fact
mat ne has four examinations to
take next Wednesday. Wentworth
lett college a few days before the
fnal examinations last June because
he had to reach his place of employ
ment and could not take all of his
nnals. He WILL. however take the
examinations next Wednesday after
noon and in all probability be ELI
SlpIe to play after this week. Hascall
is said to be down in his courses at
present with the prospect that he will
catch up before the state series
comes around. Both men are power
ful defense men, aggressive when the
team is on the offense, and will be
missed from the game. The greatest
loss is in Captain Burckel and Good
rich.
The loss of Sullivan at left end will
leave a big hole in that wing "Sully"
is conceded to be one of the best
ends that the Blue had had for sew
eral years and the loss will severely
cripple the team. Sullivan received
pulled tendon last week also while
in a practice scrimmage and has
been imping badly. He played a
part of the game with Westbrook
but had to be taken out Win"
Noble will replace the rangy end
man on the lineup.
While it is not definitely known
who will fill in the places which are
at present vacant it is expected
that Getchell, Peacock, Chafetz, Haw-
kins and Noble will endeavor to
carry on for Colby.
Head Coach Green gave his
charges a stiff workout this after
noon, scrimmaging until it was too
dark to see the ball. The first half
of the afternoon was spent in several
fundamental drills, including signal
drills and line charging. Teams \
and B then lined up and had a real
scrimmage. although the ball was
given from one team to another
quite often. Millett was the big
noise of the afternoon on the often
sive and ripped his usual long line
bucks through the ranks Of team B.
Carson and Cowing also did some
good work, the latter being given
hara afternoon in McGarry's place,
the Ianky halfback not putting in ap-
pearanCe at all.
Tomorrow afternoon the varsity
team will line up against Coach
Haincs' fast Coburn aggregation on
Seavern's field at 3 o'clock. Coach
Green is of the opinion that a good
spent against the husky
Maroon team will benefit his charges
a great deal. both on the defensive
and on the offense. This gear Coburn
has a heavy line and a fast, hard
charging backfield.
