Fossil Forest Areas

There are only four fossil forest
areas in the world, three of which
are in the United States, the other
being near Cairo, Egypt. OF the
fossil forests in the United, States,
one is near Calistoga. Cal, several
extensive forests are Ill the Petrified
Forest National Monument, Arizona.
and the others are those in Yellow
stone National Park. Though the
whole history of the process of fos-
silization is not fully understood. it
is probably dependent upon entomb-
ment of the trees in materials satu-
rated with water containing a con-
siderable amount of silica in solu-
ton. This silica-charged water was
drawn up into the wood by capil-
l&rity, the silica being deposited in
the cells and vessels of the wood
after the water evaporated. making
an accurate cast CT all open spaces.
Then, while the slow process of de-
cay went on, as each particle of or
ganic matter was removed, its place
was taken by the silica until finally
all the wood substance has disap-
peared and its place atom by atom
had been taken by silica. The for
csta of the Petriied Forest Monu-
ment are geologically much older
than the others; those near Cairo,
Egypt. are believed to be the young
est. The Arizona forests belong
probably to the Triassic period.
Therefore these trees may have been
buried between 100000 and 15,0OO,-
600 years ago.

they have absorbed some inkling of

nothing else. The RED Army" to
them means the Russian army: the

by the happenings of the last six

observers who look below the surface

There would appear to be also

Colby Gridders Start
Final Drive for
State Championship
Especial to Kennebec Journal


waterville, Nov. 5.-Head Coach
Roger Green started the final drive Of
the Colby football team for the State
championship this afternoon when he
sent all Of his charges with the excep-
tion of the two injured members
through a hard afternoons workout.
The Blue and Gray mentor is determin-
ed to iron out the many faults which
were shown up in the game Saturday
afternoon against Boston University
and will drive his men all week, since
there is no game scheduled Tor Sat
urday and the players will have an OPP
portunity to take brief rest over the
week end for the crucial game OF the
season.
Mathers. Millett and Carson did not
report on the field this afternoon owing
to the injuries which each received in
the last few games. Millett was the
latest addition to the Colby hospital
list with a strained knee which he re-
ceivedsin the game last Saturday. The
star backfield man will take things
easy for the first part of the week with
the hope that he will be able to enter
scrimmage Thursday or Friday. Ma
theirs and Carson will not appear on the
Colby Lineup for the final game of the
series as both are in bad condition.
The playing of the local collegians
last. Saturday has caused much talk In
that they seemed to lack all the fight
that characterized them in the game
with Maine the week before. They
seemed to lay down and their tack
ling was more as though they were
playing tag instead of a hard game of
football. Coach Green has little to say
about the game. but will work his
charges to the limit in order to have
them at their peak of condition for
the Bates game.
This afternoon Assistant Coach Ed
wards took the second team in charge
and proceeded to give them several of
the Bates plays which they are to
learn and use against the varsity ag
gregation in scrimmage. Wednesday
afternoon. The second will have two
days in which to thoroughly learn
these plays and should give the varsi-
" a good rub in scrimmage. The
varsity linemen were given consider
able work in line plays and scrim-
mage in an effort to break through
quicker and nail their man before he
started.
The appearance of T.orinsky at quar-
ter for the second team was some
what of a surprise this afternoon, but
the freshman candidate worked the
team we'll and seemed to have a thor
ough knowledge of the game. All sea
son he has been under the eye of Head
Coach Green both for his kicking and
general all-around work. and will be
given a chance to show what he can do
in the field generals shoes.

Bates-COlby Clash
Armistice Day May
Be Biggest Game Year

Especial to the Kenncbec Journal
Waterville, Me, Nov. 5--The clash
between Bates and Colby scheduled
for Armistice Day will undoubtedly
be witnessed by seven or eight thous-
and persons, providing the weather
is of the suitable variety for a foot
ball game. This estimate was given
out by officials at Colby college last
evening and goes to show that the
coming clash for the state football
championship will be the biggest
game Of the year in Maine.
Tickets were placed on sale yester-
day morning at the II. i. Durham
Company clothing store on Maine
street and will be sold there until
the last one is gone. or in event that
the demand will not exceed the sup
ply, until Saturday night of this
week. The general admission tick
cts as we'll as the reserved seats are
being sold this time at the store to
prevent the expected rush for seats
at the last moment. A general dia =
gram OF the Woodmen Memorial Sta
dunn has been provided for the sale
OF the reserved seats while the blea-
cfers will be placed on sale at the
last moment.
Yesterday morning athletic direct
! or {. Harry Edwards and DR.. Thomas
IL. Ashcraft,. treasurer of the Colby
Athletic Association conceived the
lGea OF trying to secure the Cniver-
sity OF Maine bleachcrs for the game
Armistice Day to take care of the
extra crowd. Their plan was based
on the fact that Maine is carting all
! OF her bleachers to Portland for the
new Hampshire and Maine game
which is to come off Saturday after
noon and that the bleachers will go
back through Waterville on their wav
10 Orono. Last evening there were
no further developments in the plans
put the athletic officials are still
| lollowing their plan out. DIR, Ash
craft pointed out that the only
trouble was that the game at Port
land would not be over until last
ana that 1t would mean Sunday work
10 get them to Waterville and that
he was afraid that they would not be
! erected in time for the game on
| Monday afternoon.
DIR. Ashcraft also stated that he
was receiving many requests for re-
served seats from Colby alumni and
| people all over the state for the
| game and that the pick Of the seats
| would be reserved for these requests
Several hundred tickets will be sent
to Bates college this morning to take
care of the demand there. All of the
| Bates students will be seated in sec
| tion C., very near the center of the
| heid. 1t has always been the Gus
tom since the new stadium has been
! completed and in use to give to the
| opposing college this section which
| contains about $50 seats. The entire
stadium is capable of seating a little
over $500 persons.
The Colby student body will occu-
py the choice bleacher seats on the
east side of the field in the vicinity
OF the so year line and with an ex-
cellent view Of the entire field
Bleachers will also be erected at both
ends OF the field behind the goal
