New Hampshire Today
snecial tn Kannehec Journal

Especial to kennebec journal
University of Maine, Oct. 16.-The
students at the Orono institution will
&c a chance to see its varsity cross
country team in action Saturday
when it will run the hills and wales
with the New Hampshire barriers.
The boys from the Granite state gave
the Maine boys a close rub for Sec
ond place at the New England in
tercollegiate last fall. The visitors
have practically the same team and
are sure to keep the bears on the
jump all the time il they are to win.
The New Hampshire outfit is cap
tanned by Peaslee who has already
won a place in the hall of fame by
his long distance running. The race
for first place between Hillman the
Maine captain and the New Hamp-
shire leader is sure to be thriller
with the Orono lad holding the up
per hand being on his home course.
Many of the Maine followers feel
that Taylor who will be the dark
horse in the race may pull in for
the first prize.
The Maine team Is in good condi-
dion and If the boys run true to form
they should come home with the
bacon.
Captain Hillman, Gero, Hart,
flashing, Baker, Rollins and Taylor.
The New Hampshire team will be
made up of seven of the ten follow
ing men: Captain Peaslee, l.. Smith,
Littlefeld, Burke, Eastman, Weeks,
Tuck, Dodge, Willard and Higgins.

Cuyler Mentioned as
Outstanding Hero
Recent Worlds Series

Pittsburgh, Pa, Oct. 16.-(AP)-
Popular opinion may set up HaZen
(Kik) Cuyler as the outstanding
hero of the Pirates victory over the
Senators in the 1925 world series,
for it was his mighty blow in the
pinch that won the seventh and de-
Gliding game, but analysis of the rec
ords fails to bring out any surpass-
ingly prominent figure such as was
Bucky Harris in the triumph of
Washington a year ago.
Cuyler not only struck the decid-
ing blow yesterday but his home
run clinched the second game for
the Buccaneers, while his fielding
was frequently sensational. Never
theless, the remarkable all-round
work of Pie Traynor, brilliant third
sacker of the new champions; the
spectacular hitting and base run
ming of the veteran Max Carey and
the stellar twirling of Wv Aldridge
and Ray Kremer also figured large
ly in the Pittsburgh victory.
For Washington the most con-
spfcuous work included Johnsons
brilliant pitching in his first two
starts; Sam Rice's startling defen-
sive work, particularly his catch off
Smith in the third game, as well as
his consistent batting; and the slug
ging of Goose Goslin and Joe Har-
ris, who was the most dangerous
man in the Senator attack in the
pincheS,

IN GAME TODAY
Especial to Kennebee JournaD


Brunswick, Oct. 16.-Bowdoin
football followers received a great
surprise this afternoon when Harold
'Littlefield, varsity track captain,
made his appearance on the field in
uniform. Littlefleld has never before
been out for football during his ath-
letic career at Bowdoin, having con-
fined his previous athletic efforts to
track. Littlefield will go out for end,
and with his speed and natural ath-
elite ability possesses marked poten-
tialities as wing man. For the
first time in three weeks Bowdoin
will be able to start her logical first
team tomorrow in the game against
Wesleyan, Frank Harrington and
Tom Murphy now being in condition
to play. The team will line up
against Wesleyan as follows: Bill
Widner, left end; Red Robinson, left
tackle; Captain Frank Tupker. left
guard; Don Lancaster, center; Jim
Berry, right guard; Tom Murphy.
right tackle; Hugh Snow, right end /:
KIP Hovey, quarterback; Frank
harrington, left halfback; Joe Keos-
Ter, right halfback; Walter Morrell.

IN the line the burden of puntinp
Will again fall upon Frank Earring

be Walter Morrell, who can get

+ Promises to Be Another Day for P@skn Chasers
ARMY-NOTRE DAME
GRID CLASH Will
} FEATURE TODAY

New York, Oct. 16.--(AP)--Once
again the Army has been called out
to defend the Eastern seaboard
against the invasion of Notre Dame.
For far-reaching interest the
meeting of these intersectional foot
ball foes with $1,000 looking on at
the Yankee Stadium, is expected to
overshadow the clash between Yale
and Pennsylvania at the gigantic
Bowl in New Haven after 81 years
of separation. In 1893 Yale won,
ID to G. That contest 50 years ago
was the eleventh battle between the
two and Pennsylvania tomorrow
seeks revenge for what Yale accom-
plished in those years. The peace
full Quakers succumbed eleven times
in succession.
Into Baltimore at break of day
a much improved Navy will pursue
an uncertain Tiger from Princeton.
Last year the men of old Nassau
won by only, II to IA and Jack Os-
ley, former assistant to Tad Jones
at Yale, expects a different verdict
in the fray to come.
Harvard, menace to eastern
championship claimants for the first
time in several years by its conquest
of little Middlebury last week, faces
the severest test of its early season
in a fighting Holy Cross eleven.
Last year the Crimson won, IL to
6. and in 1923 managed to exc out
contest by mere six points.
Eddie Tryon, former Sufield
school back, will lead his Colgate
warriors against Lafayette and the
eastern eleven's only chance seems
to lie in stopping the enemy captain.
Tryon has amassed an imposing to-
tai of points.
There are several intersectional
games of calibre, tussle of great
importance being that between Co.
lumbia and Ohio State at Columbus.
The New York institution appears
to be returning to gridiron prestige
after several years.
Syracuse University faces Indiana
State at Indianapolis, and George
town meets Detroit University at De-
troit.
Army's backfield Is strong and the
soldiers have a solid line. Last sea-
son Notre Dame won by 13 to z, its
first great victory of the season, but
it's green team is facing a hard
struggle, fault which Coach Knute
Rockne admits freely.
Yale and Pennsylvania are wor-
ried. Each believes that the other
yields an uncertain power, and each
is careful about predictions.

COLBY GRIDDERS
AT LOWELL TODAY

Especial to the kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Me-, Oct. 1.-THE Col
by varsity team takes on Lowell
Textile at lowell, Saturday. in the
last battle before the opening of the
State series. The full strength of
the team is mustered for this con-
test with the exception of Carl Mac
Pherson, the only veteran quarter
back on the squad. MACPHERSON has
not yet recovered from an ankle in
jury received over three weeks ago.
He win probably be available on next
Saturday. The Lowell team is con-
sidered to be an easy victim for the
team from Waterville because of
their two defeats at the hands of
teams which are not reckoned to be
in Colby's class this season. Con-
necticut Aggies took the first game
from them and then Bates wiped
them out by a score of 1910. Colby
should take Lowell by at least three
touchdowns If the dope is correct.
Peacock, all Maine guard, is back
and will be in his first competition
of the season today. O'Donnell has
also recovered from an injury and
the all Maine center will be ready
u uO MS peSl against lfle hdSSd-
chusetts team. Johnson is an addi-
ton to the backfield as it was
thought that he would not be able
to play because of injuries received
in the Brown game. Captain Keith
has recovered from a bad hand and
will be in the best of shape today.
Bagnall has reported to the eligible
list again and will be used part of
the game at tackle. His addition
to the squad has strengthened it con-
sfderably. He tips the beam at over
200 and is not overweight for his
size. He should make an ideal man
for the position. Heal will probably
resign in his favor about the third
period. The battle for end positions
is still being waged with no apparent
gain by any of the men. There are
five men of equal ability for this po-
sition, the only letter man among
them being Roland Potter. Potter will
probably have Smith as his partner
when the game starts. In the back
field Peabody will probably get into
his first game of the season and may
spring a surprise on those who do
not consider him as first string
timber. The starting lineup will
probably he as follows: Right end,
Potter; left end. Smith: right tackle,
Heal; left tackle, Captain Keith;
right guard, Cowing: left guard, Pea
cock; center, O'Donnell: quarterback,
Erickson; halfbacks: left, Johnson;
right. Mathers: fullback, Drummond.

Waterville, Oct. 16.-Seaverns Field
will this afternoon be the Mecca of
many a football fan when Waterville
and Winslow High schools clash, to be
followed by Hebron against the Colby

Both high school teams are in the

close and well-played contest is ex-
pected.
Winslow's hopes for win are of

the exception of Willie Roy, who will
get into the game despite an. injured

the game.
Waterville's workouts for the last
two days have been very light and
Coach Bill Millett will be able to put
his strongest team on the field. The
local team is the best that has beer
turned out in some years and the fine
record that has been made so far by

Crowds Missing
When Senators
Return to Capital

Washington, Oct. 16-(AP)-Hav-
ing tasted the nectar of victory, the
Washington American League base
ball team tonight is finding the green
persimmon juice of defeat unusually
bitter.
AS the players who had been hailed
twenty four hours ago as worlds
champions strolled about the town
today there were no admiring
throngs to cheer them, as year ago.
There were no hurrahs, and few pats
on the back; no floral showers from
a hysterical populace; no triumph
ant professions.
Rather, a few friends gave them
sorrowful words of sympathy, while
the rest of the national capital
turned to other pursuits. the least of
uncertainties of life on throne, and
the bumps encountered in a fall
downstairs.
Whereas year ago Bucky Harris
was hailed as the king of MASTER
minders, today found many putting
him into the class of John Anderson,
the first man to steal second WITH
the bases full. This was because he
allowed. Walter Johnson to stay in
the box at Pittsburgh yesterday I'M
tiHthe bitter end.
Roger Peckinpaugh wearing fresh
garlands betokeninS the most valu-
able player in the American League,
was running Harris a close second
among the more disgruntled, because
he set uPa worlds record for making
worlds series errors.
Before meeting today to divide the
losers end of the worlds series
booty, the players were handed
stacks of mail, written in most part
when the club was on the crest and
figured an easy winner. These were
mainly congratulatory, but Nick Alt
rock, the Washington coach-come-
dian, exhibited a telegram from a
friend:
II took your advice" the telegram
read. land bet $50 on Washington.
Please, send me $50 on my seven

Full of pep and as well condi-
! toned and eager for battle as any
team in the State the powerful Cony
football squad, eighteen strong,
leaves with Coach Pierce on the
morning train for Bangor today to
tackle tho fast Queen City aggrega-
ton in what should be one of the
high school classics of the State for
the year.
Both teams have most enviable
records, Bangor still remaining in
the undefeated class although held
to a tie with Portland in game
played on a sea of mud last Satur-
day while Cony has lost but one
game and that to the heavy Lewis
ton High team in one of the fastest
and most stubbornly contested con-
tests ever seen on the Lewiston
grounds. AS the principals of to-
days game play entirely different
opponents no comparative estimate
of the strength of the two teams can
be given.
The Cony team tapered off with a
snappy signal drill last night after
school and every man knows the
part he is supposed to play in the
game today. Cony's showing
against Lewiston Monday would
seem to make her a favorite to cop
the decision but football Is one of
the most uncertain games in exist
ence AMI the locals don't intend to
let over confidence rob them of a
victory. Cony knows and respects
Bangor as a fast, tricky and COM
paratively heavy team and worthy of
the best efforts of any team in the
State.
Cony will start the game with her
full strength including Warren
Fletcher who has been out of the
game for some time with a painful
muscle bruise. Nickless and Brad
street will start on the ends al
though Lishness Will undoubtedly
see action before the game is very
old. Soule and Trask will iii the
tackle berths with Ellis and Dins-
more in guard positions and Tubby
Hilton shooting back the passes,
Fletcher will start at quarterback
and Cony's triple threat, Stiles, La
pidus and McAuley will complete the
backfeld. Cloutier, N. and r, Den
nett, Merrick, Bell. Worthing and
Gilmore complete the squad which
Will make the trip.

the team to the Queen City and they
