Coburn Football Team

fsnecial to Kennebec JournaD

Especial to kennebec Joui aap
Waterville, Sept. 29-The Coburn
football team did not waste any time
in their scrimmage yesterday a1ter.
noon. The scrimmage lasted Tor at
lea st two hours and the men hao
nlenty OF chance to show their value
in the fray. But still a great I'M
nroyement can be displayed by the
men and Coach Haines will continue
to drive his charges until the last
minute. 49, o
Both team A and B lined up
against each other and both ala
some fine work. They rushed up ana
down the field with no score pelng
made. Captain Bill Dreuhl was re-
moved from the back field and put IN
his old position at left end. Dreunl
is surely at his glory at end and ms
presence in the line will strengthen
the team considerably His puntlng
ia still a great feature and Bill Will
have to do the kicking. The team
will depend a great deal upon its
captain not only in kicking but the
excellent work that he displays on
J the end position. Bob Violet. who
had been previously in the back field,
was shifted to a tackle position.
Harry Norbury and Lloyd Lancaster
both at guard positions are being
worked hard by the coaches.
Owing to the fact that a few OF
the men are inexperienced the
coaches are confronted with a diff
cult task in getting the team lined
and the lineup which will go against
the Colby second team Friday after
noon is ucertain.

dent of repeating this week. Much

Coach Mike Ryan
| Announces Plans
For Relay Schedule
(Special to Kennebec JournaD


Waterville, Me-, Sept. 29 - Coach
Mike Ryan of Colby college yester-
day announced his tentative plans
for the relay season which will be-
gin about the last of January. These
plans must be passed and approved
by the faculty before they can be put
into operation but without doubt the
faculty will sanction the program as
Coach Ryan outliens 1t If the
strength of the team should warrant
the continuation of prospective plans.
The regular one mile relay team
will be organized and compete in
several of the big meets. Beside this
a two mile team and medley relay
team are in prospect.
Colby's one mile teams have been
very successful during the past few
years and Coach Ryan has consis-
tently turned out a one mile relay
team that could hold it's own with
any similar aggregation in the East
But short time ago the Colby one
mile team won the National cham
pionship for colleges in Glass B at
the Penn Relays. Colby has had an
enviable record in this field for sew
eral years.
For the one mile team this year
there Is but one veteran from last
years team, Russell +. Brown of
Fairfield, captain of track and hold =
ier of the Colby quarter mile record.
Others from last years squad look
good but are inexperienced.

Oppose Steel Traps
Would Make Unlawful

Washington, Sept. 20 (AP)-The
general public and organizations Of
sportsmen, as we'll as some officials Of
the u. S. Biological Survey. are
charged by the newly organized
Anti Steel Trap League with adopt
ing an improper attitude toward the
use of steel traps in the capture OF
animals.
The point at issue is the degree OF
suffering experienced by entrapped
animals.
Officials of the league are prepar-
ing pamphlet written by Edward
Brock, writer, lecturer and former
navy officer, who is president of the
organization. 1t will contain an ap-
peal for general support of the
leagues program, which covers both
the United States and Canada
This program the organizations Of
ficials summarize as follows:
We propose to bring about the
passage of law by all the state and
provincial legislatures making il
legal all use of the torturing steel
trap and other non-killing devices
for taking fur, except by the au
thorities in the case Of vermin.
Propa ganda against wearing fur
is helpful of course, but the above is
the only way to win within a rea i
sonable period of time, say a few
years in some states and a few more

Won TOtman Returns
10 Lawrence High and
Football Looks Up

Especial to the Kennebec JournaN
Fairfield, Sept. 29-Footbal pros
poets at Lawrence high school were
boosted to the sky yesterday with the
announcement that Won Totman. star
backfield man, has returned to his
studies. Non' is all primed to step
into the place made vacant bv Le-
Vensailor who has left school.
The practice session Yesterday az
ternoon was devoted largely to the
practlclng of signals in preparation
Tor the game with Waterville high
next Saturday on Libby field. A
number of new formations were Civ
en- to the players by Coach Scottv
Mari and the many spectators who
gathered on the field to watch the
practice felt that the team had at
least an even break against the
strong down river team.
Cover. who played a whale OF q
game against Madison last Saturday
appeared better than ever Yesterday
and he will undoubtedly be heard
from in the coming game. A shift
which it is thought will strengthen
the team is that of Wentworth from
tackle to guard. He is heavy for a
high school player and has much ma
tural ability.
