Waterville, Feb. S-B2tes and COL
by will cross sticks tomorrow after
noon at 3 o'clock on the Colby col
lege rink for the first of the two
hockey games that the two rivals
will play this year. The game has all
the promises of being one of the best
seen here this year, with the Lewis
ton aggregation having the edge,
on paper at least, over their Blue
and Gray rivals.
The Colby rink was flooded thor
oughly last evening and will be again
put into first class condition for the
game tomorrow SO that there VIII be
perfect surface on which the two
teams may meet to practically de-
eide the State honors in hockey this

Coach Helie will start the regular
team tomorrow afternoon and make
no shifts unless he is compelled to do
so during the game. Captain Gren
Vale will be at his usual position at
center, with the able assistance Of
MACEDONIAN and Harry Muir on the
wings. So far this season this COM
bination has worked very we'll and
the last few practices have polished
off the work of the three men. The
combination is expected to carry the
puck out of danger and into the
Bates territory with snap that the
Garnet will have to watch closely
The dependable Millet with McBay
working with him will form the de-
fensive wing on the team and Eager
strom will guard the goal from the
hot shots from the Bate. team.
The last few days have been PASS
ed by Coach Helie in perfecting the
passing of the forwards and n great
deal of time has been passed with
Fagerstrom in giving him plenty of
opportunity to stop some Of the hot
shots that Vale. McGowarf and Muir
have been making. The Blue and
Gray outfit fully appreciate the work
that Captain Dick Stanley of the
Garnet team is capable Of and are
prepared TO meet him with a stone
wall defense.
