Waterville, Nov. 1S-The Coburn
football team held its last practice CT
the year in preparation for the bis
game Of the season with an hour and
a half board talk. All the plays
which Coburn will use against the
Hilltoppers were gone over and some
things were Strengthened out by the
coach.
Tomorrow marks the biggest day
in the Coburn schedule when the
Crimson and Gold outfit meets the
rival team Kent's Hill on Libbey
Field this afternoon at $50. From
a Coburn standpoint 1t means that
only a victory can be satisfactory,
while from a Kent's Hill point If
view the same Is true. Both teams
are fighting for the chance at the
championship and 1t Is Kents Hill 5
last chance as the Big Green team
has defeated them while the only
defeat that the Coburn team has suf-
fered was at the hands of the Bow
dom freshman team and even at
thht ~ OCCi titG Olily score OIL the
Coburn team this fall.
From the past performances It
would appear that both teams were
about an even fighting chance. IT
would be useless to pick the winner
as 1t is a very hard thing to chance
at. Only an expert could do this and
then he would have plenty of cour-
age to do so. Coburn will have the
strongest team ofNthe season on the
field this afternoon. A fighting team
will step on the gridiron today deter
mined to do great things and a light
and scrappy line which will meet a
heavy strong line will give all they
have to the classic game this noon.
The backfield which is light will have
to show wares to hit the heavier OPP
ponent line. The Coburn backs are
outweighed 10 pounds to a man while
the line is outweighed 20 pounds to n
man.
kinds OF work this season and at
present is fit for the fray, only one or
two men can be said who are not in
shape for only minor injuries. The
past week has seen the Hainesmen
scrimmaging, running through sig
nails, dummy scrimmage and in short
doing everything to prepare them
selves for a hard battle. Coach
Haines has held skull practice and
also talked with each man personally
in order to be sure that each man
will know his assignments. The
whole school and alumnus is behind
the team, all are pulling for a win
today, now it will remain to be seen
which team will come on top.
OF course, this year there are no
stars as Weston and Shanahan type
but team of eleven men will be de-
pended on to do theirIshare and much
will be expected from combination
of eleven men rather than a few
stars. The Coburn line will be ex-
pected to hold it's own and they will
put up the best fight of the year.
The success of a team depends on
the strength of it's line and much
credit for q win will be given to the
linesmen
The Coburn team will be numbered
today and each man in the backfield
Will have mudcleats as at present the
condition of the field in in poor shape
and much will be done to put the field
in shape in the morning in case the
rain storm is over.
