Yesterday afternoon the men have
had four days of scrimmage and the

Most Of the squad came through the
first week of scrimmage in good
shape but one or two men have sus-
tanned injuries that will be some time
in healing. The worst Of these is

tendons in his ankle. It will be sew

year. went in as a pinch hitter for
McNeely and his double to left CEN
ter let Leibold score from first. S.

waterville. Sept. 26-Assistant
Coach C. Harry Edwards gave his
freshman football charges hard at
ternoon's workout on Seavern's field
at Colby college. in an effort to rap
idly whip the yearling team into the
best Of condition for the coming
schedule. Owing to the absence OF
the varsity team. the yearling crew
had the use of the athletic field in
stead of using the supplementary
field on which they have been prac-
ticing, in the rear of Hedman hall,
for the last week.
Coach Edwards seems to have
some most excellent material and
from the looks 1t might seem that he
will turn out an aggregation which
will give the varsity crew a battle
for their money when they clash lat

Blue and Gray varsity aggregation.
The outstanding men on the squad
who look like excellent finds for the
varsity team another year are Dick"
Drummond. who played a stellar
game for two years at guard on Ike"
Haines' Coburn eleven. Drummond
is getting heavy and mas some eX-
ceptiona! ability as pivot man in
the line. One of the ends who looks
promising is Sansome. former stellar
end on the Norwood. Mass. eleven.
Sansome appears to have all of the
qualities which go to make up good
end, and in addition he can heave n
pass with ease more than 35 yards.
Erickson. formerly of Newburyport.
Mass, high school. looks like a real
find as field general for the yearling
team. He has weight fight and
brains, all of which go to make up a
good quarterback. Aver of Lynn

to hold down his position as tackle.
One of the outstanding men in the
backfield on the team IS Bagnall of
Houlton. Bagnall is the biggest fell

feet tall and in the vicinity of 200
pounds. AS fullback Coach Ed

Bradstreet's Report

New York. Sept. 2S.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Trade is fully fair better than last
week in some areas. but there are
cross currents visible. while a note of
hesitation is found in reports that
many buyers having filled immediate
needs are inclined to wait or go ahead
cautiously. Examples of the cross
currents visible are found in the con-
tinued ease in still prices. reports that
September buying of that product has
not gained over that of August. and
that the change in basic prices due to
the abandonment of the Pittsburg- plus
system. with the nearer approach of
the election. has made for little quiet
er tone in the big metal trades and a
disposition to buy for prompt needs
only. On the other hand. the rally of
three cents a pound in cotton on latest
government reports has stiffened cot
ton manufacturers prices: the buying
of coal. aided by cooler weather. is
swelling production and shipment of
that product. and car loadings for the
second week Of September are the larg-
est of the year and only three per cent.
below the peak Of last September.
