iBOWDOIN EAGERLY
WAITING j. OF N.
CONTEST SATURDAY

Bowdoin College. Oct. 2S.-With
confidence restored in her football
team Bowdoin eagerly awaits the on
coming of the favored U. of NJ. team
here next Saturday. for the game
that will decide who will be cham
pion OF Maine. Ii Maine wins she
will have a clear title, but if Bow
doin defeats Maine, the two colleges
will be in a tie for first place.
The superiority of Bowdoin over
Bates last Saturday compares well
with Names power. As Bowdoin
remembers only too well the smart
ing defeat of last year at Orono. the
Polar Bears are determined to fight
hard and overcome with spirit the
handicaps which seem TO face them
in the pre-game dope. Undoubtedly
Maine is heavier and more power
full. but Bowdoin has queer ability
10 overcome all kinds OF odds If the
thought occurs to her. Those who
have seen the Tufts games for the
last three years will bear witness
to that fact.
With the exception OF Alden
Smith. the Bowdoin men are all III
fine condition. Not man received
an injury last Saturday that should
keep him out of the game with
Maine. The hole at center was very
well filled by Hewett, who has been
playing tackle, and he will doubtless
hold down that position again Il
Smith is unable TO play. Fowles,
the other center, has plenty of fight,
but it little light.
"a Just what kind Of a game Bow
dom will play Saturday is hard to
say. 1t depends entirely on the de-
fensive ability of Names line. Al
though Bowdoin's passing game
failed disastrously against Colby
there is no reason to believe that II
might not work against Maine. Then

Hovey made against Bates.
The regulars and those who play
ed iii the Bates game all took a rest
Yesterday Contenting themselves
with passing the ball around and
watching the game between the subs

to be hard fought with both sides

CONY GRIDDERS
UP AGAINST OLD
RIVALS SATURDAY


Portland. Oct. as.-The local high
school football teams go into another
week, and a tough one at that. without
the supremacy of the Portland and
Catholic High elevens settled. Deer
ing took South Portland but not until
the Capers had threatened to throw a
monkey wrench into the machinery
with broadside of passes in the final
chapter.
However. Deering. Portland and
South Portland must put these games
behind them and work like BARRIERS
On House OF David shaving assign
ment. All three of these teams are
due for strenuous afternoons next
Saturday. with South Portland hav-
ing little the worst OF the row.
Portland leaves for Pittsfield Fri
day. 1t will stop overnight there
and then journey into Bangor Satur-
day to swish down like an avenging
sword on Bangor High. With memo
ries of vistory snatched in final sec
onds at the first game at Rayside, the
cohorts of Jimmy Fitzpatrick will
drive to attain perfection this week
for the wild scramble for that second
game.
Bangor is weakening and Portland
is gaining strength. Whether the
Blue will have reached the point where
1t can smash the Crimson to pieces
is a question but there is excellent
hope of Portland winning Saturday.
Waterville jumped on the Crimson
last week. and NJ. &. l. held them
nothing to nothing. Now its up to the
boys in Blue TO smash them and even
up the count for the season.
Bangor, Of course, will have its
home crowd, its home field and its
usual will to win a Portland game.
But it will be a determined crew of
foot hallers that follows Coach Jimmy
to the Queen City.
Deering High entertains an old enc
my at Bayside. The rivalry between
Cony High of Augusta and the subur-
banites has been of long standing now
and approaches the rivalry Of Bangor
and Portland Cony has not forgotten
1921. when Deering. with one of it's
greatest teams, stopped Frank Far
rington. now the Bowdoin ace, and ran
off with the State school title. Cony
had its eyes fastened on that bunting
and the Purple avalanche was a rude
shock.
Saturday at Bayside these teams
will battle again. The white helmet
ed Purple eleven from the suburbs and
the Crimson flashes from Augusta.
Nal MOrrell, former Bowdoin athlete,
is coaching Cony and its showing has
been credtable considering there is
little heavy material of known value
this year. The F'lack and Lundholm
combinat ton will be favored to win
but it is sure of fight with the Au-
gusta team. This will he the first
game at Bayside for the Purple since
it ran over Portland and lost Larry
Canon The team won at South Port
land but its attack was none too
powerful. Whether the Morrell outfit
can stave off the Purple and score is
question to be decided at 80 Satur-
day.
South Portland is an underdog at
Fort Pre5le Saturday. The reason for
this is the fact that it is playing Pete
Films Westbrook High team, con-
querors of Portland and overwhelmers
of Sanford. which held Deering TO two
touchdowns Westbrook is unbeaten
to date and confident of taking Fred
Halls fast little Caper outfit despite
the fin" aerial attack that his light
eleven has put forward
