Especial to Kennebec Journal)


Waterville, Nov. 2-The University
of Maine cross country team won
the state championship this after
noon over the tough Colby course,
finishing all of the seven men run
within the first fifteen to complete
the run. Bates. who was expected
to cop the meet, fell. a poor second
with Bowdoin close third and Colby
landing in the cellar position with 81
points against her. The team scores
were as follows: Maine, 81; Bates,
So; Bowdoin, IS; Colby, "a.
The state record in the five mile
cross country run was broken by
Captain "Rollo" Paine of the Blue
and Gray barriers who finished at
the top Of the list in the record time
of 80 seconds % and AS seconds. a
minute under the previous record
which was held by Captain "Cyke"
Mckinley of Bates. Paine breezed
in to the last lap with lead of more
than hundred yards over Hillman
of Maine. All dope the last week has
favored the Maine barrier or McGin-
ley to triumph in the meet but the
sturdy Colby leader upset the dope
and easily defeated both men. fin-
fishing 20 seconds to the good, PAYNE
took the lead over all of the men
and kept about hundred wards
ahead of the nearest barrier through
out the entire race.
The pace set by Paine was so fast
that Hobbs of Bates was compelled
to drop out and for a time was in bad
condition after being carried to the
Colby gymnasium but under first aid
treatment he came out of 1t. War
rem of Colby pluclily finished the
race but when over the red tape he
fell into the arms of those near and
was taken to the gymnasium and
given first aid. The little Colby har-
rier fell fiat on his face while COM
pleting almost the last lap of the
race on the home stretch was very
unsteady. Mckinley of Bates and
Raymond of Maine ran side by side
through the entire race until the
Bates man stumbled crossing the
railroad tracks and Raymond gained
few feet, finishing but little ahead
of Mckinley. Mckinley fell over the
line and was carried to the gymnas-
ium whore he was brought around.
All three men were entirely done out
as a result of the fast pace and it
was said that all three of them had
not been feeling in the best shape
for several days.
The entire field with the single
exception of Hobbs finished the race.
The Colby course is one of the
toughest in the state and since con-
siderable of it has been plowed up. 1t
makes running far from easy or
fast over any part of it. Captain
Paine of Colby cut nearly two min
utes off the record, which he made
last week in the dual meet with
Boston University At the finish he
was in very good condition and
seemed fresh enough to co the
course again.
The Maine team showed a won
derful team and all seven of the har-
riers finished within the first fifteen
to complete the run. Hillman. Ray
mond, Patten and Berg all finished
with the first ten and the rest of the
Maine team completed the race near
together. Hillman and Raymond
finished within one second of each
other ~ z
