Colby Frosh Hard
At Work for Opener

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Sept. 30-Coaches Mac
Pherson and Getchell of the Colby
freshman team have been working
their men as hard as possible in pre-
paration for the game with Bucks
port seminary next Saturday.
They are greatly handicapped by
injuries which occurred in the second
scrimmage of the season which took
place Tuesday afternoon. Although
o1ly two men were injured these men
S"e both among the most valuable
on the squad and will be missed from
tic lineup if their injuries make it
impossible for them to play. Stoney
ftrlson of Norwood, Mass, who has
zen playing a stellar game at tackle
f2ceiyed an injury to his leg and
olld not take part in the scrimmage
cd yesterday. Physical Director
.dwards gave hin all the attention
'@ssible and will make an attempt
20 get him into condition to play in
;fe first game next Saturday. The
ether injury was sustained by Berg
from, one of the most. promising
ialfbacks, when he tore the liga-
ments in his ankle during the scrim-
mage session of Tuesday. He will
undoubtedly be out for some time as
he is at present walking on crutches.

Tufts Jumbos Will
Be Main Attraction
At u. of M. Saturday
Especial to Kennebec Journal


University of Maine, Sept. 3O.-On
Saturday the Tuft Jumbos come to
Orono to square up for the defeat
handed them last fall by Coach
Brice's State champions. Followers
who saw the Maine team in action
against Fort Williams last Saturday
feel that after a hard weeks prac-
tice such as the Maine boys have
been putting in that the Boston out
fit has a good afternoons work cut
out for them.
Coach" Murphy has just one
thing that is worrying him at pres
ent and that is who shall he start
in the line. Captain Fraser came
out of last Saturdays battle safe
and is sure Of starting In his old
position at left tackle. Ginger"
showed that he still knows the game
and shall give the followers an ex-
hibition of great tackling. Lamoreau
who teamed up with the Maine cap
tain last Saturday to make a great
pair has been out of the game the
past two days with a bad knee, but
feels that he shall be o. K. when
the whistle blows Saturday.
Right guard will be taken care of
by Dickson who showed against the
Fort team that after little more
experience he shall be right to home
side of center. Bishop will prob
ably start at left guard, for Elliot
has not quite got over the injury
which he received the day before
the Fort Williams game. Bishop did
we'll Saturday and is sure to repeat
this week.
There is still merry battle on for
center with Becker and Dickey
holding the center of the ring. Both
week and Becker shall probably get
perience.
Stanton will guard the left wing
while Lavorgna and Deveau will
split the honors on the other end
of the line. Lavorgna shall probably
start.
The Maine backfield although it
showed the lack of experience,
worked fairly smooth Saturday. With
this weeks hard practice packed
away under it's belt it is bound to
cause the Boston outfit a handful
of trouble. Cassista shall start at
quarter, Willie NeWndlI ana HedkS
will hold down the half back posi-
ton to start with. ALI these boys
showed their ability at broken field
running against the soldiers Bar
rows shall start at center and will
come in for his share of carrying
the ball. Bryant without doubt
will get into one of the half back
positions before the final whistle has
sounded.
Who shall do the kicking Is I'M
settled as yet. Peaks and Newhall
have been putting in a great deal
of time to this and chances are that
| one or the other will get the assign
ment.
What the outcome will be is un-
certain but it is sure to be a real
battle from start to finish. The big
Maine band will be there and better
than ever before. Between the
halfs of the game Coach Frank
Kanaly has arranged to, have an in
ter class relay race. Action is to
! hold sway on Alumni field Saturday

Pennington Schools
Preparing Teams for
Hard Grid Schedules

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Pennington, Sept. 30-Through
the untiring efforts of Gordon Spin
ney, Pennington Normal School will
have a football team this year and
will open their season with Wilton
Academy at Wilton Saturday.
Normal folks will be there in
crowd to back up their belief that
Wilton will not be in it. This team
consists of Spinney as guard, Heck"
Small, fresh from Guilford high at
left end, Fatty" Proc, who weighed
1S5 in his stockins when he left
Greenville high a few months ago..
as tackle; and "Hoot" Tompkins,
who has had experience at Cotton
Academy, at right end-all expert
enced men. The others. though new
at the game have worked hard to
get in proper trim and a good deal
seems to be expected of them. They
are Everett Page. another Greenville
high. boy, at right half; "Curley"
Smith, who has been at Bates but
has decided to come to Pennington
Normal for a while, at left half;
Palmer Davis of North New Port
land, who has just left New Port
AeAAio AiShB at tiIO IdllDotSh SldllOIl,
and Andy Marcouse, a recent grad
uate of Harrington high, at quarter
The team is full of pep, has great
expectations and excellent support
from the entire student body, and
hopes to make a good showing car
rying ut tn schedule which is now
being arranged.
Abbott, Farmington's widely known
boys school, has just opened with
40 boys in attendance, more than at
any time since the war; and there
appears to be lot of good athletic
material among the new boys. For
several years this small school has
stood up we'll against all COMPETE
tors and made a wonderful record
considering its size. or rather lack
of size and material. This year,
with the enlrged school it is hoped
to make an even better record, or
at least to maintain the prestige al
ready established. The school has
been fortunate this year, it is be-
lieved. in obtaining the services of
Ray c. Comerford, a former we'll
as an instructor, and also as the
head Of all athletics of the school,
as he has the reputation of being a
very superior coach. In his young
er days Comerford made a reputa-
ton as an athlete while attending
school in Boston, and in Gushing
Academy in Ashburnham, Mass.
Abbott men were out for practice
for the first time today and as
number of last years team are in
cluded in the tryout results are
quite satisfactory so far. A short
schedule of games with schools in
Maine of similar standing, and this
will undoubtedly be announced in a
few days.
Pennington high school is getting
in shape for football and 1t is hoped
will have good team. and better
success than it has had some years
in the recent past. Sub-master
O'Brien has charge of the athletic
department of Pennington high.
Some of the smaller high schools in
Franklin county are also getting
football squads together, and all are
taking an interest in athletics in
some form. in fact athletics is en-
joying slow but steady develop
ment all through the county.

Rawlings Leg
Broken To Be
Side Line Player

pittsburgh. Pa, Sept. 30.-(AP)-
Johnny Rawlings, one OF ms legs
broken in his never ending EFFORTS 10
carry his team to the front, Will view
the coming World Series battles
from the grandstand'
The Pirates owe much to the little
second baseman who arose to great
heights in the crucial series in New
York which saw the Giants collapse
for the first time in five years. HIS
fielding was sensational, his batting
timely, and well it might be, for 1t
was on that same field in New York,
the Polo Grounds. that Johnny Raw
lings was recognized as the greatest
player of the Worlds Series of 1921.
Little Johnny was a member of the
Giant forces then, even at that time
a veteran whom the Braves had cast
adrift. With Boston he failed to
scintillate for there was little oppor-
tunity for starring in such club as
the Braves produced after the haley
on days of 1914. But his time came
and he took full advantage of it. His
bat and and fielding were big factors
in the first Giant victory over the
Yankees.
Rawlings might we'll be termed a
money player, for it has been in the
crucial moments that he has risen to
his best. He will be missed when
the Pirates go into the Worlds Sc
ries, although Eddie Moore, now
scheduled for the position, is a cap
able fielder and heavy hitter.
Johnny was injured at Forbes
Field while sliding in a base, only a
few weeks ago. In the morning he
had been at the Oakmont Country
Club, a fan himself before the golf
prowess of the national amateur
champion, Bobby Jones.
Rawlings obtained his degree at
Leland Stanford University before
entering professional baseball. He
was born in Bloomfield, Iowa, in 1892,
but makes his home in California.

Seals for Game
Invite SpOrtsmen

Olympia, Wash. Sept. 20 (AP)-
Hair seals have increased In recent
years to such numbers that they are
becoming a serious menace to the
salmon fishing industry in the
Northwest. AS a means of getting
rid of the menace. Arthur S.
Einarsen, formerly with the Wash
ington state fisheries department.
has suggested that the aid of
American sportsmen be enlisted In
drive against the animals. Sports
men, he declares, would ind seal
hunting a game worthy Of their skill
and one which would enable them to
fill in July and August when the sea-
son on big game is closed in most
localities.
Puget Sound Indians formerly
hunted the seals for food and ma
terial for moccasins, and since the
white man makes no use of them
whatever, the seals consequently
have greatly increased since the dis
appearance Of the Indians. In a re-
cent check Mr.. Einarsen reports that
he counted 1900 Of the hair seals
summing themselves on the beaches
1T low tide. Rookeries invariably are
established ct the mouths Of salmon
streams and the seals take heavy
toll Of this food fish. Feeding tests
have shown that an adult seal re-
quires about 80 pounds Of fish for a
meal.
At present the only checks on the
increase Of the seals are the opera
lions Of the few professional hunters
who pursue them for the So bounty
offered by the state and the oc-
casional forays Of local sportsmen.
I'm Usw Of these facts. unless the
state wishes to subsidize the exter-
mination, the most logical solution
Of the problem lies in soliciting the
aid Of interested sportsmen," Mr..
Einarsen declared. The sport is a
very keen one and requires skill and
returns q greater thrill than any
thing we have with the exception of
big game hunting. The seal Is a
sagacious animal and persecution
leads to extreme wariness on their
part. The fact that there Is such an
element Of chance In seal hunting
discourages any great effort to ex-
terminate them by professional seal
hunters.
Willie the original method Of
hunting seals was to approach them
from the shore at low tide and
shoot them with a heavy rife of
buckshot, the use of semi-speed
boat by sportsmen has added zest to
the chase.

alcohol is officially tabooed in the
land to which forty nations are

their eyes. 1t means industrial SUI

a way in the gloomiest forest in

style, but the English styles are the
definite leaders.
The principle departure this sea-
son from last spring will be the
wearing of many double-breasted
styles. This mode also originated
in the boys schools Of England and
| in being brought to this country has
undergone a few slight notifications.
In fabrics, tweeds, cassimeres and
cheviots will be used extensively.
There will be some homespuns, but
the first four named woolens will
be used In ninety-f1ve per cent OF
the suits.
The above has to do largely with
the boys of eight to fourteen or fiji
teen years of age. Most of these
suits will be accompanied by vest
a distinguishing feature of the Eng
lish suits and some will have two
pairs Of trousers, either two Knockers
or one knicker and one pair OF
straight hanging pants.
While there was some doubt
about the success of the popularlE
known Tom Thumb suits for boys of
four to ten years Of age, that doubt
was dispellcd last spring by an I'M
precedented sale of a novelty. These
suits come with the vest and two
pairs Of trousers, one the long kind
as worn by dad and the other of the
knicker classification.
Not only in woolens, but in wash

able materials and corduroys are
these Tom Thumbs made. While the
top age for such suits Is usually
about ten years, some makers are
extending the age through the reg
ular first long trouser stage. That
means, If the idea Is popularity car
ried out, that the youngster OF pre-
kindergarten days will start wear
ing long trousers and continue
through manhood.
While dark colored fabrics have
been the vogue for years. there will
be shown extensive selections of
lighter materials. A deep blue
worsted also promises to have a
large following.
The straight hanging topcoat
which looked so well on the little
fellow will be displayed by the
stores this season again.
For the juveniles whose parents
aren't interested in the Tom
Thumbs there is still an interesting
variety of clothes. Among them are
the ever present Junior Norfolk
suits in a dozen or more styles and
also the sailor suit and blouse nov
elites.
There have been no marked
changes in accessories for the
youngsters. other than color inno-
vations of the lighter shades. Wind
breakers and lumberiack blouses
will be worn extensively.
