WatervilIe, Oct. 31.-Thc Blue and
GRAY grid warriors were subjected
to the second hard scrimmaSe of the
week this afternoon when Head
Coach Roundy drove all of tho men
in his SQUAD IN a half hour tough
scrimmage with the freshmen on the
athletic field this afternoon. 1t was
rather expected that after the long
scrimmage of yesterday afternoon
the Blue and Gray meteor would give
his charges a little rest but little rest
did any of the men set today.
The scrimmage was the hardest
that either team had experienced
this fall and shows that the coaches
are driving all of the teams to the
limit to get them into the best pos
sible condition for the coming
games. Even though the varsity has
no collegiate game until week from
next Tuesday. they are being driven
TO the limit and should he in the
best possible condition for the game
with Bates. The head coach would
like to secure Il college game for
next saturday afternoon on the local
field but as that is impossible, the
varsity and shmen eleVenS Will
clash. Last season the White Mule
faced the Boston University eleven
on the local field between the Maine
and Bates clash and showed up cN-
ceedingly poor in all of their work.
This was due to the natural slump
after the tough struggle with the
Maine Bears but they emerged fro1
their slump in time to give the Gar
net crew one of the toughest battles
of the wear.
The varsity scored twice on their
first year rivals this afternoon and
showed some improved offensive
power. In the first part of III o
workout today the varsity walked
up the field but fumhlcd. only to he
presented with the bail by fresh
man misCue. Line ruShcs OF goodlN
power sent Millett over after few
tries. Millett rowcVcr failed to kick
the goal for the extra point. The
freshmen succeeded In getting the
ban to the varsity's 20 >ard line but
tailed In four downs to make the
required distance. ON the first PLAY,
Millett and Carson uncorked a pretty
GRAY halfback tearing. through the
surprised ranks Of the first year men

The first year men took the varsity
by surprise when they pulled Off
