Especial to Kennebec Journal,

Waterville, Oct. s.-The Colby varsi-
ty football team returned to waterviils
Sunday afternoon in badly battered
condition after playing the fast Brown
team at Providence Saturday. Psacti-
cally every man on the squad which
| made the trip is suffering from intu-
ries from sore bruises up to wrenched
legs and dislocated wrists.
Coach Roundy is pretty much dis
couraged with the physical condition
| OF the squad as they took a terrible
mauiing Saturday afternoon and are
used up completely. Mathers. promis-
ing fullbsek. who has been groomed by
the Blue and Gray mentor for MiIletts
place In the last two games. injured his
side and IL will be two weeks or more
| before he is able to be In the game at
all. Mathers received bad kick which
did the damage in the latter part Of the
| game. Cowing dislocated his left
wrist and will be lost to the team for
/ two weeks at least. He has been play
! Ing consistent and hard game at
T! guard and his loss will be heavily felt
/ In the next two games. MACPHERSON
| received kick in the side but was not
] injured other than bruised and sore.
Captain Ben Souie was on the sideiines
/ this afternoon with n badly wrenched
ankle and will not get into the game
until after the end of this week.
| The Blue and Gray mentor sent his
charges through light drill this aft
ernoon to loosen them up and show
them some of the fundamentals of new
! plays which he viii give them before
the game with Trinity. All of the
| rjI sf1 IL f.,
the brief workout did many of them
good and tomorrow more time will be
taken with new plays ard tackling
work. Probably not before Wednesday
i will there be any work in scrimma cling
! as the men are not able to stand any
at present.
The team which will face the Trinity
aggregation next Saturday on Seavern's
| Field Will in all probability be COM
| posed for better part of men who did
| not receive any of the injuries Sa tur-
| day. Soule. Cowing, Mathers and Mac
| Pherson probably will not get into the
game and their places will be taken by
other players who have had some little
! experience this fall on the varsity.
Assistant Coach Edwards took his
freshman charges in hand this after
noon and gave them long talk on the
| fundamentals OF the game and pointed
out to them the mistakes which he had
observed in the varsity work in the la st

siderable time TO explain in detail Just
how the mistakes had come about and
what the proper remedy was. After
the lecture lie lined up his two teams
and sent them through signal drills
Towards the close of the afternoon he
took number of ends and with cen
ter and Kinds for quarterback save
he men some aerial drilling.
The freshmen came through their
two games in far better condition tina i
did the varsity. BagnaIl, star back CT
the team which played at Hebron. is
the only man who will be out OF the
cnme any length of time. He has a

course Of the game Saturday. The YEAR
ling team will be united and Will rot

season. As it proved to be a rather
poor move in both cases. The tear
