COburn Gridders
Not Over-cOnfdent
OF Big Green Game

especial to The kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Nov. 12.-Coach Haines
held a light workout for his men
yesterday afternoon on. Libbey field.
The men were rather stiff after the
three-day lay-off and there was not
much hard work gone through. How
ever. after running through signal
drill for an hour in the rain two
teams were lined up and a scrim-
mage ensued.
The field was wet and the backs
had difficulty in handling the ball
but 1t was for this reason that the
scrimmage was held. as up to date
Coburn has not handled a wet ball
There is no telling what sort of con-
ditions the team will have to con-
tend with Saturday at Lewiston and
in case the ground is wet the team
will be prepared.
The Coburn mentor expects a
much harder game from the big
Green team than the Kent's Hill ag-
Sregation put up and the men have
been warned against over-contidence.
Coach Haines realizes that in Coach
Dwyer, Hebron has a crafty mentor
and one that knows football thor
oughly. Hebron always has hard
quick thinking. clever men. Coburn
has not yet met a team that could
he given any too much credit for
brains unless it be Bowdoin Fresh
men.
Hebron has a good field general
in jeremiah. the former Westbrook
Sem and Somerville High school all
round athlete. This speedy little He
bronite caused Coburn Il peck of
trouble in every contest last year
while wearing the Spangles of the
MorrillS Corner team. He was the
quarterback on the eleven that ran
wild with Cohurn on Sedvern's field.
Again in hockey he was the only
man that could be compared with
Donnelly. the Crimson and Gold ace,
and the bas-le between these two
men was the best exhibition of CEN
ter ice play ever to be seen in the
State. jeremiah was also one of
the leading lights on the baseball
team and was instrumental in turn
ing back Coburn at Portland in the
second game played between the two
schools last spring. 1T can be safe
~ said that Hebron has one of her
greatest athletes in jeremiah and
Coburn respects his ability in every
sport. Captain Hobbs is another man
that Coburn men have learned to
respect, he is a fine athlete and Il
real sportsman. Hobbs is the triple
threat in the big Green backfield
and though light. is a hard man TO
stop. He formerly captained the
Iritchburg High eleven that were
Massachusetts champions in l322
Hobbs is also a forward on the bas-
ketball team and a pole Naulter of
no mean ability. These two men are
the shining lights in Hebron athletics
and Coburn will have to be on her
toes every minute to stop them.
The locals will all be out for prac-
tice today and tie last scrimmagc
Of the season will be held. Every
man is in good condition and a nara
scrimmage is looked for. The squad
has bccn nut on a training table and
everything possible is being done to
help bring back the championship
to the school.

Radio Waves

Radio waves and sound waves arc
entirely different. Radio messages
are not transmitted through space
by means of ordinary sound waves
which travel less than 1000 feet a
second and which must nave a med
tim such as air or water. They ate
transmitted by electric waves which
travel at the enormous speed OF
10000 miles second. At least ii
is now believed that radio waves
travel with the same speed as light.
Ordinary sound waves are converted
into radio or electric waves at the
radio sending station. The radio
waves are reconverted into ordinary
sound waves by the radio receiving

Harvard Cocksure of Grid Outcome With Brown Saturday
AMERICAS OLDEST
GRID RIVALS IN
BATTLE SATURDAY

New York, Nov. 1e.-(By A. ~
The meeting of the Bulldog and the
Tiger, principals in. the Oldest foot
ball rivalry in America, in the Palmer
Memorial Stadium in Princeton Satur-
day in the 4sth annual renewal of
this ancient classic will be the out
standing event of the week in the
football world.
The Eli. undefeated in 1928 and
still undefeated this season, faces in
Princeton a team which reached the
height of its power against Harvard
last week and appears now to be rid
ing on the crest Of a wave of triumph
despite an unimpressive start.
The Tigers defeated by Notre Dame
and tied by Lehigh. will enter the
game as an even money choice as a
result of the overwhelming victory
scored over Harvard at Cambridge
last week in which the gridiron war
rlers of Old Nassau were triumphant,
"a to Q.
Yale's record is bit more impress
sive than that of Princeton because
the Eli has yet TO feel the humilia-
ton of defeat despite two tie games
with Dartmouth and West Point.
The Big Three championship prob
game as it is figured that Yale will
subdue its Crimson rival when these
two teams meet in the Yale Bowl next
week.
Like Princeton Yale has the punch
and ability TO cash in on its strength
in the waning moments of a close
game as was demonstrated against
Dartmouth. The Ellis were fortunate
TO hold the powerful Army team to a
tie, Ponds As yard dash for touch
down giving the Blue the count which
enabled it TO break even with its serv-
ice rival
While the Yale-Princeton game will
be the major attraction of colorful
array of games scheduled for Satur-
day, other contests will share the spot
light with the Big Three clash.
Corneils meeting with Dartmouth
at the Polo Grounds should draw its
share of customers. The Ithacans, de-
feated by Williams and Rutgers. were
slow in starting but experts who saw
Cornell defeat Columbia have come out
with the statement that the Dobic
machine has lost its last game despite
the fact that its playing program in
cludes Dartmouth and Pennsylvania,
two undefeated teams.
Another game that will attract its
share of attention will be the Column
bia Army game at West Point The
powerful service team with its dy-
mamie backfeld and stalwart line will
give the Metropolitan collegians plen-
" of worry despite the presence of
Captain koppisch and Pcase in the
Columbia backfield.

Wild Duck Unable to Fly

Catching birds by running after
them and sprinklinE salt on their
tails is proverbially difficult. On one
of those lonely island specks in the
largest of oceans, known as the Ha-
waiian bird reservation, is a pecul-
lar species of teal which has lost the
power of flight. This wild duck can
he easily run down by Il man on foot.
But as men do not come to this
island once in blue moon it would
seem safe. However. it has to have
fresh water and the only fresh water
on the almost barren island is a
small pool. Should the encroaching
sands cover the pool. which seems
likely, this rare 'flisht!ess duck must

DIR. Boone Tor his honor with his
contention that he never went fishing
and never expected to. Other speak
ers included the Rev. J. Sherman Pot
ter. c. J. Westcott. DIR, f. NJ. Cole
and r. w. Oakes.
Mr.. Evans took to the luncheon an
attractive and complete display OF his
Caldwell fly factory. Since the first
of the year. this plant has received
orders for 1900 flies. according to
Mr.. Evans. Fifty seven Idaho deal
ers are now handling the line manu-
factured here. Twenty two Utah
firms sell these flies. while orders
have been placed in all but seven of
the states OF the United States. These
states do not have fly fishing.
Eleven varieties OF flies are made
here. Some varieties have as many
as 200 patterns. said Mr.. Evans, in
explaining the wide field covered by
this industry.
Fly manufacturing requires ma
terials from almost every part OF the
world. Mr.. Evans said. Part OF this
equipment comes from Spain, more
from China and Japan while the
hooks are manufactured in England
and Norway.
