NO Official Net

Especial to the Kennebec JournaO
K, waterville, Oct. l5~Colhy will not
be officially represented on the
basketball court this winter. accord
ing to a statement issued yesterday
by, Athletic Director c. Harry Ed
wards.
Considerable talk has been going
the rounds at the college to the eff
feet that ii was entirely possible that
Colby would make the sport an Of
ficial one but Edwards statement
put an end 10 it. The main reason
for the talk was the fact that Coach
Roundy is a faculty coach, that is
he is to be in Waterville all the col
lege year to direct not only football
but hockey and baseball as well. In
his college days. the Blue and Gray
mentor was quite a basketball artist
and is very able at coaching the
game.
The college athletic authorities are
opposed to the sport because it is
their belief that there are sufficient
branches of athletics represented in
college at this time.

U,OF N, DEPENDING
ON STRAIGHT PLAYS
TO TRIM Bates

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
L. of NJ. Oct. 15.-Coaches Brice
and Murphy have been driving the
Maine Bears to their fullest capacity
this week in order to get them in
shape for the opening of the States
series here with Bates next Saturday.
Long workouts with signal practice
carried on after dark by the aid of
large arc lights has been the general
occurance all the week.
The student body has renewed its
hope for another championship
team since Capt. George Gruhn and
big AL Repscha have returned to the
fold. Gruhn is' going better than
ever since his injury and should so
well in the series.
The Athletic Association finally
granted the team a training table
and every night after practice black
board talks have been in order.
In the opening game against
Bates, Brice will depend upon
straight football to win. For the
past few years. Bates has been I'M
able to stop Names strong line bucks
and Brice. and Murphy feel that this
year will be no exception.
The loss of Cambell at left guard.
will keenly be felt for the big boy
from Gray has shown some remark
able football this fall. Ne, ertheless,
the team is in better shape now then
it has been in any of the preseason
games.
Bates has always been more or
less of u jinkS to the Orono lads and
by the way the alumni and admirers
are sending in for reserved seats for
the Bates game, it looks as if the
fans throughout the State believe the
results of the Maine Bates game will
name the winner of the series.

Colby football stars are directing
football at Lowell Textile this fall,
Eddie" Cawley and Ernie" Perry.

played on the 1916 championship

in the backticld. Both men return
