WATCHING RESULTS
j: OF N. GAME
Especial to the kennebec JournaD

Especial to the kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Oct. 30-Once again the
Blue and Gray football warriors
were in evidence upon the athletic
field at Colby college and have start
their last drive of the season for the
game with Bates. The game is we'll
over ten days away. but Head Coach
Roundy believes that the local col
legians need all the practice and drill
that they will be able to get before
they meet the fast Garnet crew. The
last state series game of the year
will be played Armistice day in Lew
iston, when Colby and Bates clash.
It is anticipated that there will be as
large a crowd at the Bates field that
day as there was in the Woodman
memorial stadium last Armistice day
when 10000 persons saw a fighting
Colby eleven down an equally hard
fighting Bates eleven 20 the tune of
9-6, and gain the first state cham
pionship In seven years.
- This year the Armistice day battle
will depend upon the outcome Of the
Bowdoin- Maine game. which will be
played this Saturday afternoon on
Whittier field at Brunswick. Should
Fred Ostergren's White Bears upset
the Pale Blue that Gay. Colby will
have a chance to enter a triple tie
for the championship with Bowdoin
and Maine. However. should the fast
playing Bricemen upset their age-old
Bowdoin rivals. Colby would fight 1t
out with Bates, a win giving them
undisputed second place honors.
Bates has not defeated a Colby
team in many years, hut until last
fn1 al hoe
failed to administer "a defeat to the
Garnet since 1921. Two tie games
and then a win for the local collie
sians last year put them in the lead
in games won and this year they do
not plan to let a game slip through
their hands for a Bates win.
Practically all of the workout this
afternoon and yesterday consisted of
signal drills and other light work TO
timber up the varsity men. A short
scrimmage yesterday with the fresh
man delegation gave the Wooden
Eggs a chance to let off some of their
surplus energy and The first year
