COACH BRIcE NOT
SATISFIED WITH
CHARGES SHOWING

Orono, Oct. ITO satisfy Coach
Fred Brice completely It will be nee
essary for one OF his future Maine
teams to invade the Harvard stadium
and trample on the Crimson to the
extent Of about 90 to O. He saw
the Bears score two touchdowns on
Colby. Saturday afternoon and de-
clares that they played ragged foot
ball.
They'll have to work harder this
week." he said today. Il was too
easy on them last week. Why. they
should have got two more touch
the fve-yard line in the first period
and they let Colby hold them for
downs. And IL there hadn't been too
much delaying in the last period,
they would have had another touch
down before the whistle blew.
THE saving feature Of the game
was their defensive work. That time
that Colby was in scoring position.
our men tackled them every time
for losses and showed them back 10
yards in the four plays. The score
book shows that we made 80 yards
and Colby made a minus yard and
a half. We got 20 first downs to
their one. according to the book.
But those figures don't mean a
thing. Colby didn't have any kind
OF an offense. Neither did Bates.
Bowdoin is good at offensive work
and we will have to watch out for
them next Saturday.
What will we do this week :?
Well. we'll have a lot of scrimmag-
...sr HI
to perfect some open plays. Our
passing wasn't too bad Saturday. We
completed three out OF six passes
attempted. We will probably have
to do Il good deal more passing
against Bowdoin. We have been
playing pretty tight football! and 1t
has been working all right against
teams weak in offensive tactics. But
II won't 60 with Bowdoin."
Last week. after Names decisive
victory over Bates, Brice gave the
men day off. II they had scored
four tOuchdowns Saturday instead OF
two. they might have had Mon
day off this week. But instead. they
will jog out onto the field for linn
berirr Up exercises and more signal
drilling. On Tuesday. after the
| scratches and bruises incurred in the
game have healed, they will get a
scrlmmage. On Wednesday they will
get another. and it Is by no means
unlikely that there Will be another
one Thursday.
Capt. Gruhn left the game Satur-
, day in the fourth period on account
of q leg injury. Whether or not he
will be able to playneXt Saturday is
not certain. Campbell and Littletield
| will probably be in condition to play
| at least a part of the game, although
it cannot be predicted that they will
| play all four periods.
The game with Colby was much
| like the one with Bates. Colby held
u little more stubbornly in the
pinches. but at no period in the con-
| test showed the power to gain
| through or around the Maine line
| The passing was ineffective and the
| line was not impregnable.
| Good craftsmanship was display
cd by rooters for both teams. Be-
7 tween the halves of the game. the
Maine band stood in the field in q c
. formation and played the Colby
| song. The Colby supporters respond
| ed with a cheer for Maine.
The Maine student BODY will be
well represented at the Brunswick
, game. Arrangements are being
! made for a special train and funds
! have already been provided for the
! transportation Of the bear and the
, 65-piece band.
