at least 20 men in each of its four

SNOW OR MUD
MAY SPOIL GOOD
FOOTBALL TO-DAY

New York, Oct. 30-(By the AS
ISOLATED Pressl --Mid-s season football
battles, several of them destined to
create new chapters in the history of
the gridiron sport, will be fought
out, in all likelihood on wet fields in
the east tomorrow.
Snow of q mud forming variety,
swept most of the playing surfaces
today over a wide area. Specula-
,tion on the effect of this was CEN
tered particularly in the great In
terSectional game between Red
Oranges Illionis eleven, and Pennsyl-
vania, outstanding eastern champion
ship contender at Franklin Field.
Pennsylvania conquered Chicago
in the mud last week and with si'n-
liar conditions likely to prevail to-
morrow the speedy Quaker forward
line, one of the best defensivee ar
rays in the east, would hold an ad-
vantage over Red Grange, who would
find it correspondence difficult to
get under way on a slippery surface.
But Penn will be handicapped by the
absence of two star backs. kruez
and Fields, to offset this.
The Pennsylvania Illinois fray, at
tracing a crowd of $4,000, will share
the intersectional interest of the day
with the battle which Navy will wage
against Michigan at Ann Arbor, but
from the viewpoint of their effect on
eastern championship aspirations the
most important struggles are those
between Army and Yale at New Ha-
ven before 10000 in the Yale Bowl;
Cornell and Columbia before probab-
ly $4,000 at the Polo Grounds; Dart
mouth and Brown in the new Provi-
denoe Stadium; Syracuse and Penn
State at Syracuse.
Army. Dartmouth. Cornell and Sy-
racuse all have beeh indicated to
date and are in the forefront of the
title contenders. All are favorites in
tomorrow's tits but Cornell and
Army, at least, have stiff fights on
their hands.
Brown and Dartmouth meeting on
the Bears new field at Providence,
are continuing a feud of long stand
ing. Dartmouth, victorious over Har-
varda week ago by a large margin.
is favored, with Brown badly Grip
pied and facing only fighting
chance.
A wet field. however, may aid the
Brunoians, with the speedy keefer
and evasive Dixon behind the line.
Harvard and Princeton are EXPECT
ed to face little difficulty in William
and Mary and Swarthmore, respect
lively. The Crimson undoubtedly VIII
start it's backfeld without Captain
Cheek and many of the reserve play
ers should see service in the game
while Princeton probably also Will

COLBY TO USE AN
OPEN ATTACK FOR
maine BEARS TODAY
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

tSpCCldl 10 AGAI6DGC
Waterville, Me-. Oct. 30 Colby's
football team worked out on Seaverns
Field with an easy practice session
this afternoon in preparation for the
important battle with the University
of Maine tomorrow. The men are all
in good condition and with the add:-
ton of the work which they have
done during the week should show
improvement over the team which
faced Bowdoin last Saturday. The
Blue and Gray outplayed Bowdoin IN
every phase of the game last week
but Coach Roundy was not satisfied
with the score, which did not rep
resent the real superiority of the
Waterville team. Where the team
made five yards last week they are
expected to make ten today; where
they, made one touchdown they are
expected to make two scores.
Johnson, one of the gest halfbacks
who has ever represented Colby, will
do the punting and Mathers will do
the dropkicking. Erickson will call
the signals and the remaining mem

The forward positions are well COW
cred. Tom O'Donnell and AL Pea
cock. center and right guard respec-
lively, and both all Maine selections
last season, will be the main cogs IN
the forward machine. Cowing is not
far behind Peacock as a guard and
is one of the hardest fighting players
who has ever represented Colby.
Captain Keith is expected to shine
at his tackle position. and Potter,
who looks like an all Maine end, will
have to be watched at that berth.
Peabody and MacLean have been
doing very fine work this week at
their halfback positions and will
probably get into the competition.
Bagnall is a tackle who should get a
chance if possible and he had been
showing the Same qualities which
earned a position for his pal. Heal.
for whom he will probably substitute.
The Colby team has been using an
open game during the week and this
of play which they used at Bruns-
wick. With an improved aerial at
tack. the Blue and Gray will be IA
hard team for the University men TO
stop. Coach Roundy has slipped
some of the cards from his sleeve
onto the football field and these new
plays and formations will make It
more difficult for the Bruins to solve
the attack than the Polar Bear found
it last Saturday.
The team which will start the game
is as follows: Right end, Fotter;
right tackle, Heal: right guard Pea
cock: center. O'Donnelf: left guard.
Cowing: left tackle, Captain Keith.
left end. Smith; quarterback, Erick-

PURPLE HOPES TO REPEAT EASY
VICTORY over LOCALS TODAY

When the referees whistle starts
OH the game at Williams field to-
uay 1anS Will have a chance to see
Two OF the snappiest teams in this
section in action and the best part
VI II all is that each aggregation is
determined to win and win by a de-
clsive margin. The Red and White,
due to its very creditable showings
against the heavy \ Lewiston outfit
and the fast and clever Queen City
machine, will enter the game a slight
1aVorlte to cop but almost anything
can happen in a football game and
to pick winner on the face of COM
parsons would be too uncertain to
gamble on.
The Deering team has used up the
whole of the past week smoothing
out weak spots which showed UP in
their annual game with Biddeford
and if the visitors lose today no ali
bis will be offered. The invaders
are coming to the Capital City with
out their full strength but confidence
reigns in the Deering camp that their
grid warriors will repeat their de-
cisive win of last year. Whichever
way the battle ends it is safe to say
that the game today will be the clos
est yet seen this year on Williams
field. -.
The Cony team. minus the services
of Ellis and Cloutier, but still nearly
up to it's full strength, has a double
duty to perform today. In the first
place they intend to keep their rec
ord unmarried by any more defeats
than the one they suffered against
Lewiston and the other grave duty
to perform is to wipe out last years
stain with vengeance. While the
local team is not favored to win by
such a wide margin as DeerinS
gained last year it is safe to say that
when the battle is over everyone Will
be satisfied.
For the convenience of the specta-
tors the game will be called at o.
clock sharp instead of the usual 2.3o.

Boxer Knocks
Self Out at Elks'
Show in Boston

Boston. Oct. 30.-(AP)--George
Marble of East Boston knocked him
self out tonight at the Elks' weekly
amateur show at the Arena and lost
the hardest luck decision in the annals
of local boxing.
Marble met John Fitzgerald of the
same district in a bout in the l26-
pound class and had the better OF the
battle He knocked Fitzgerald down
once in the first round. drove him into
a corner and floored him with a terrific
right to the Jaw. The impact threw
Marble backwards and he fell. landing
on the back of his head with such
force as to render him unconscious.
With both boxers down, the referee
began to count, and he had reached
the count of nine when Fitzgerald
staggered to his feet He was ao-
ind ced the winner.
