Brunswick. Oct o9.-Coach Fred
Ostergren today put the Bowdoin
varsity through its first scrimmase
Of the week in preparation for the
Maine game Saturday. The prac-
tice session started off with a sig
nal drill and dummy practice, fol-
lowing which there was a long and
hard scrimmage between regulars
and the second team. There did not
appear to be much difference in the
calibre of the two teams as the ball
for the most part zigzagged back and
forth across the field. neither team
having any particular advantage.
For the most part the first team
practised plays which OsterSren in
tends TO use i'll the game Saturday.
Alden Smith was not in tn scrim-
mage today and it appears doubtful
if he will be able to start Saturday.
His loss is 4 severe one to the team
as his defensive aud offensive play
ing at center strengthens the line a
great deal. Even if he should he
able to play Saturday he will not be
as effective as he was up to the time
he was injured in the Colby game
as he has done no scrimmasinS
since then. kohler, Morrell and
Thompson showed up we'll in TO-
days scrimmase. The former New
ton High captain was quite efficient
on the defensive, although his Of
fcnsive work was rather weak. Nor
rell and Thompson are two 1ast
backs who will merit careful watch

Maine WILL PLAY
EVERY CARD TO
HUMBLE B0WDOIN

University Of Maine. Oct. %
University of Maine students have
dug UP the old song On to Bow
dom and Another State Champion
ship" The student body IL behind
this years team to a man. They
have positive faith that nothing can
stop their powerful machine that has
fast been rounding into shape the
past two weeks.
Coaches Brice and Murphy are
somewhat dubious on the outcome OF
the feature game in the Maine COL
lege circuit. They still remember
the fight that Bowdoin. the under
dog two years ago. put up against a
much heavier and more powerful
team from the wilds OF Orono. The
coaches realize that Bowdoin will
have the advantage of playing at
home. before home crowd. and
against their most bitter rival. The
Polar Bears are noted for their bull
dog tenacity and undying spirit
when their backs are against the
wall.
The Maine gridders went through
their second scrimmage of the week
today in fine style. New plays ana
formations were tried out against
the all southern team. led by
Cub" Bryant. the former Lincoln
Academy ace.
, Brice has a handful of tricks W
his sleeve which he plans to spring
on the "Whitemen." Coach Brict
has always been famous for his abll-
ity to effect a surprise with some
sensational play that completely be
wilders the opposing team. Bowdoin
was the goat" lat year when Henr!
Small came from no where and tore
down the field with nothing between
him, and the goal. What Will nap
pen this year is hard to foretell
but the fans may be assured thai
the Maine Mentor will place all MS
/ cards on the table when it comes &c
a show down with the state title as
the reward.

Haines SmOOths Up
Rough Edges for
BOWdOin Game

Especial to the kennebec Journan
Waterville Oct. 29-As was expect
ed, Coach Haines drilled almost en-
yesterday afternoon at Coburn. II
was the final scrimmage to be held
before the game with the Bowdoin
Freshmen which will be played on
Whittier Field, Brunswick, Friday af-
ternoon.
With a few first string men scat
tered through their lineup. the re-
serves presented a strong attack and
scored two touchdowns on Team A
during the 50 minute tussle. The
Team \ line could not stop the low.
. speedy charge of the opposing line
men and they opened wide holes
through which their backs romped
with plenty of pep and steam.
Coach Haines will no doubt start
most of his second team Friday as
he wants to get line on what they
can do under fire and also because he
wants to save his regulars for the
important tilt with kents Hill to be
PLAYED one week from Saturday at
Readfield.
In Rowland. Nichols. Sullivan and
che man from the regular team. the
Crimson and Gold has q sweet little
set of backs. The men are small but
fast and can cover the ground like
streaks. Nichols is a very capable
drop kicker and is a heady field gen.
eral. He will no doubt direct the
play for the greater part of the game.
Rowland is fast and a hard man to
tackle as he has high knee action
that is effective at all times. How
land can tackle well and will no
doubt back up the line for while
at least. Sullivan is track man so
| that there is no need to say that he
! can go. lie is shifty and is very
adept as out whiting the opponents.
! The fourth back will be either khou-
ry. Dionne Reed or Grady. These
men will all play for while at least
and there is no need of saving much
as to their ability. they have had
plenty of experience.
For lneSmen Coach 1laines will
have Thompson. MERCER. lIodslns,
Eorbury, OReilly. +. Dionne and
! Mitchell. These men will put up a
stubborn defense and can open holes
; that any set of backs will run thru.
! They have plenty of weight and
speed and have. been drilled on their
respective duties enough 50 that
| there is no fear of getting things
crossed up.

the cause of which was traced to a
carrier OF Inc germ. The carrier
was a colorcj man who was employ
cd at the dairy of a farm supplying
milk to citizens of Bath. There We're
% cases of typhoid reported and the
number of deaths was five.
Mr.. Kingsley said that il was de-
termined that the man had infected
the milk on only two days. that he
had never had typhoid fever. and
that he is still carrier and as such
is being taken care of by the city
of Bath at a house outside of the
city SO that he cannot spread the
germs.
Speaks on ~ Pure Water Supply
The next speaker was DIR. T.. w.
Campbell. director of the division OF
sanitary engineering OF the State
health department, who described of
the various methods by which NUM-
cipal water supplies are protected
from contamination.
Dr. Campbell pointed out that L.;
water companies in the State main
tain filter plants and 30 sterilize all
the water by means of liquid chlorine
and that il is estimated that 4o9. 49,
people of the State are receiving
water which has been sterilized with
liquid chlorine to destroy the dan
gerous bacteria that might cause dis
case.
Since the typhoid epidemic at
Woodland in 1922 of 20 cases where
polluted wells were fully, as respon-
sible as the public water supply" he
said. we had no extensive typhoid
epidemics traced to drinking water,
although there have been a number
OF short epidemics of dysentery.'
1.-THE Social Diseases"
The fact that from 60 to 20 per
cent of the blindness of the world is
caused by the social diseases, was
brought out in the address given by
DR.. George II. Coombs. director Of
the division of social hygiene of the
State health department He declar-
cd that from ID TO 20 per cent of the
insanity is caused by one of these
diseases. and the great problem of
feeble mindedness is associated with
them.
Speaking OF means of prevention,
he declared that we must make the
automobile a safe meeting place for
young'people instead of a serious go
cial problem, and he stated that
there is also the problem of the
dance hall which constitutes Il men,
ace little understood. He stated hat
education must play an important
part in the campaign for preven-
ton.
He told of the work of the divi-
sion of social hygiene to prevent the
spread of these diseases.
