Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Me-. Nov. lO-The ANAL
battle OF the state series will b.
played on Wednesday when Bates
! and Colby meet at Waterville. The
Bob Cats are confident of a victory
and will give the Mules a battle
from the whistle. Because of the
victory which the University won
| last Saturday at Brunswick. 1.-The
Bates-Colby game will decide the
| team to take second place in this
years state series. Colby was the
under dog at the beginning of the
| season and Bates was little expected
| to show any very great class. Bow
doin, the favorite for the title before
the series started, has met defeat at
the hands of both Colby and Bates
as well as the University of Maine.
and finished in the cellar. In this
Bates-Colby game, the Lewiston
team is favored by at least two
, touchdowns.
| Colby's greatest asset is line
which can hold up it's end of any
battle it may enter while the Lewis
ton team has developed an open
game which has been the basis of
it's offense. Charlie Ray, the Bates
fash, will be the biggest threat
acy as a paSser and ability at brok-
en- field running and skipping around
| the ends make him valuable mn.
+, But he is not the only man on the
team. Against Maine the Garnet
team showed strong offensive line
and carried the ball the length of the
| field through the strong state uni
versity line without being stopped.
Their offensive power in the line
must be figured and If the Water
| vile team guards only against the
sky game their line will be tbs sub
| ject for attack. The Lewiston ends
are strong and dependable both on
| the offense and the defense. 1t is
here that tn team has ben strong
during the entire season and may
! continue their good work on Armis-
tice Day. BY far the greatest threat
which Bates carries is its sky at
| tack and undoubtedly this will be
the basis of the attack of the Bob
Cats.
Colby has the advantage over their
opponents in the line and also in the
| kicking department. With the
strongest set of forwards which has
represented the Waterville school
| for a long time there is but little to
fear from the likelihood of Garnet
score through this bulwark. With
Evan Johnson on the sending end OF
the punts Colby can depend upon
getting the better of any argument
in this department. johnson has
been out of competition since the
Maine game and has had but two al
ternoons of light work since that
time, Yesterday, however, he sent
away some long ones which travel
led high enough to allow his ends
sufficient time to get down under
them.
