Later an offer was made to eX
change stock of the land company
for United States Trust Co. shares. on
the basis of $40 d share for the latter.
Some 400 shareholders accepted the offer.
Now, after nearly IL years, the
auditor of the court reports that Re-
ceiver Sands Is liable to shareh olders
and directors of the former United
States Trust Co. for s50,645; that he has
paid himself $500 in fees which are
500. 900 furnished by Mr.. Sands more
than covers his liability.
The auditor, Herbert l.. Davis, also
reports that the second receiver, W.
X. Quinter, who succeeded Mr.. Sands
in 1920, had succeeded in collecting
s35, 1000, which Mr.. Sands had been
unable to collect.
There are still s150.000 of unpaid

1t is also stated that stockholders

Frank Munsey advertised that he
would not have guaranteed the de-
positors of the United States Trust
Co. but that a very careful investi-
cation had shown that there were
abundant assets to make good the
deposits.

ting in some hard practice. and it Is
expected that Davidson and Rose the

Of illness and injuries may be able
to get in a part of the game, but 1t
is more probable that Coach O'Brian
will save them, for fear of added in
juries. Rose is one OK the best for
wards, and was putting up q good
game before his enforced lay off and
If he Is able to get in the game even
for short time, 1t will help out the
team. Jimmy" Davidson, who has
been considerably slowed up by ILL
ness, and has not yet come up to form

this season. Coach . Brien has not
decided on hts exact lineup. but will
play the following men at some time
in the game. Captain Buster" Mac
Donald, Lucas. Spearin, Rogers, AL

The girls game promises to be a
hummer, for this is the first time that
they have ever met Cony on the pol
ished surface, and they are going to
fight for a win, and expect to give
the Cony lassies hard battle for the
supremacy. Comparing score does
not seem to cast much light on the
outcome. The local girls were beat
en- by Waterville high, while Cony
held them to a 1913 tie, but in all
three games there was considerable
comment on the style of play used
by the up river girls. and it was even
reported that Cony high would not
play the return game NJ Waterville.
as Gardiner high did. Both teams
won from Deering by single basket.
and from this it is hoped that the
battle will be 4 fight to the finish.

Bates Freshies to
Battle Portland
Trackmen Friday

Lewiston, Feb. 13-Coach Jenkins
will lead large squad of Bates
Freshmen to Portland Friday night
to battle Portland High school track
team. Bates holds a decisive victory
over the schoolboys. as two years
ago they took them into camp by a
large score and the Portland men will
be on the alert to wipe away the
defeat.
The Garnet is fairly well fixed in
the running events but little or no
material appears for the field events.
In the dashes Bates will depend on
knight Reilly, and Dunbar for their
points and these men should compare
well with the Portland sprinters
duct. shows well over the short
route and Dunbar of Lynn Classical
and Reilly of Medford and Worcester
academy are finished sprinters who
are expected to show their heels to
the Forest City men.
In the 600 Dunbar seems to Ia the
leading candidate. while Stacy Peck
is also In the line for points, as well
as Brown and Reilly. Nelson is the
Bates ace in the 1000 and mile run
and he is primed to win either of
these events while Hutchinson.
HodSkins, Jecusco. Mckinley and
Brown Should also figure in the long
runs.
The field events will find the Bates
Freshmen handicapped as the ma =
terial in this branch Of the outfit is
not up to par. Kinds will have the
burden Of the jumping and should
m.>ie n good showing but the re-
mainder of the candidates have not
appeared capable OF sweeping the
jumps away from the Portland team
Cobb, Leighton and Merrill should
make the best showing for the Gar
net in the shot put and if these men
can come through with points enough
To balance that of the track events
the Garnet will be in position to
carry another victory.
