Maine Turns Down
Request for Grid
Game with De Paul

University Of Maine, Dec. l0-De
Paul University, located at Chicago
with a student body OF 1900, has
asked the University II Maine for
tMo-year contract in football, on
home and home basis suggesting a
game in the Windy CITY n 1925 and
the return battle at Oeono in the fall
of 1926.
This request from the institution
of which few members o. the athieuc
board ever heard. was turned down
on the ground that the authorities
wished to follow the athletic policy
Of playing natural rivals and did not
favor a long trip for the Maine
Bears, as would be necessary II DE
Paurs request was grated.
Maine has released Rhode Island
State from a two year tootbail con-
tract and has given up its game az
Orono. Sept 20, to accommodate
Brown University which requested
that if possible Rhode island be set
free to play the opening game in the
new stadium at Providence.
Brown was anxious 10 have as its
opponent the state college in order
to make the dedication program
strictly a Little Rhody affair with
teams OmIuClaiS, stats anu City VI
resident nature. Maine showed. Ms
willingness to cooperate and IS now
left with a seven game schedule OF
1925. unless Faculty Manager b Z.
Kent is able to fill the open date,
failure Of which will see Tufts open
at Orono, Oct. 3.
Decision was passed along to
Rhode Island and Brown at a recent
meeting of the athletic board, which
awarded the retiring football mana =
ger, A. H. Doc" Turner. a football
letter.
1t was voted that in the event that
Ahe New England intercollegiate field
and tpack association decided to run
freshman cross copntrS race In
conjunction with its annual varsitE
hill and dale chase aext fall, the
Maine yearlinGs would he entered.

versity have signed two year con-
tract for a dual cross country run.

Immense receipts of hogs in Chicago
and other leading markets tended
somewhat today to ease down corn and
