GOGCIN AND LYNDS
UNABLE TO PLAY
IN RUMFORD GAME

Gardiner, Oct. 2S-Despite the fact
that Cook. one of the mainstays of
the local high school eleven, has re-
turned to the squad after being out
for nearly three weeks with a split
muscle, Coach Cyk Mckinley and his
outfit are none too confident of stop
ping Rumford here Saturday. Three
men who have helped the team
greatly in its recent winning streak
were forced to leave the team today.
Lynds and Goggin are down in
rank and their services will not be
available for the game Saturday
Dodge was hurt in practice today
and will be out of the game for u
time. A sharp scrimmage today
ended practice for this week. The
team had hard workout today ana
will not appear in uniform again I'M
til Saturday morning when they play
Rumford on Quimby Field at 1890.
The game was originally scheduled
for Saturday afternoon but due to
the fact that many fans wish to see
the Bowdoin-BateS game in the aft
ernoon the high school game will be
played in the morning.
Coach IicGinley took the squad to
Phil Talbot's camp tonight and
treated them to .real feed. The
team had a supper consisting of
steak, boiled onions, ice cream and
all the fixings and the relaxation
from ordinary training fare is ex-
pected to help them to a great ex-
tent. Who will fill the places made
vacant by the absence of Gogg in
and Lynd Saturday has not been an
nounced as yet.

C0NY DRILLING
TO STOP FAST
DEERING GANG

After having had nearly a whole
week in which to drill his aggrega-
ton to accustom themselves to the
several changes recently made in the
Cony lineup, Coach Eddie Pierce is
confident that his charges will give
a good account of themselves Satur-
day. The Red and White is going
down to Deering with the thought
that they must make a good show
ing against the team that gave Bid
deford rugged SCRIP the other day.
Several shifts have been made in
the Cony lineup. The team has
varied it's attack to a great extent
and with Diplock back in toys the
team has a lot more weight in the
line than 1t has had for several
weekks. Dplock is going even bet
ter than when he played before and
it will take a good man to stop him
in the Deering game.
Hunnewell, who has been out of
scrimmage for the past few days
with a boil on his arm, expects to be
back in uniform before the Deering
game and as he is one of the heavi-
est men in the line, his return will
help the local squad. Tie team will
leave for Deering Saturday morning
and expects to come back Saturday
night with another victory under its
belt.

INVESTIGATIONS IN ORDER
after ROUGH WEEKEND GAMES
COLBY barriers
IN WEAK CONDITION
FOR STATE RUN

Waterville, Oct 2S,-The Colby
cross country team win enter the
Maine intercollegiate cross country
run at Lewiston tomorrow in weak
and crippled condition. The greatest
loss will be that of Charles Sansone,
%, of Norwood, Mass, jointholder Of
the worlds two mile relay record. 1t
was definitely announced this after
noon that Sansone would not compete
in the run.
The team entered in the race to-
morrow, headed by Capt. Sullivan, 81,
of HinckIey, will be James Brudno,
'27. of Newburyport, Mass; Leroy VI.
Johnston, rs. of Campobello, n. b..
Charles Towne, '2S, Of Waterville; J.
d. Allen, 90, of Columbia Falbls FL
mer Rivkin. 90, of Brooklyn, y. Y;
w. J. Brown, go. of Lynn, Mass.
Captain Sullivan has been incapac-
itated all fall by a broken bone in
his foot and has been held UP in his
training to a great extent. This viii
probably prevent him from making as
good showing as he is capable Of.
Jimmy Brudno is probably Colby's
best bet in the race for individual
honors. He has been running well all
fall and only last week came within
two seconds of the Colby record in
the two mile run. Brudno is strong
runner and has plenty of nerve and
will no doubt be in the fight for first
place.
Johnston IS a veteran and is a
plucky little runner. From his looks
in the workouts of the past few weeks,
l. fr oil nF T. &c Form q
should place among the first 10.
Charlie Towne is an unknown guam
tity. Although he is a veteran run
ner, he has never ru in Maine cross
country meet. Last year he was un-
able TO .run at the meet so he has
never been under ire. He is strong
and fast and willing. three very nee
essary qualities Of a cross country
man.
Allen, Riyl,in, and Brown are all
new members of the squad and moth
ing much is known of their competa-
tive ability. The team score will de-
pend upon the way that these men
finish, as the first five men are coun-
ted in team score.
Bates should win the meet as they
are on their own course, no little adj
vantage, and although they did not
make as good showing against Uni
versity Of New Hampshire as did
Maine, they have a veteran team. Col
by Will trail by a wide margin.
The individual honors viii probably
be fought out between Wills of Bates,
who' is favored to win. Taylor of
Maine. last years winner. and Brud
no of Colby. Brudno looks good
enough to take Taylor into camp and
to force Wills to the limit

COLBY IMPROVING
DEFENSIVE GAME
FOR PALE BLUE

Waterville, Oct. 2S.-Coach Ed
Roundy has been putting his charges
through some hard scrimmages
against Maine plays all week in
preparation for the game at Orono
this Saturday.
Since the Bowdoin game of last
Saturday, the coach has been boil
steering up the line in the weak spots
that were then shown up. The tack
les positions Of the Blue and Gray
team were particularly weak. Heal,
left tackle, has been playing out OF
his regular position all yea and
could not be expected to turn in as
good a game as he is capable of.
Charlie Cowing, playing left guard
since his brother, Cleal. was injured,
while willing and aggressive enough
for anybody, is entirely too light for
q guard position and can not over
come the handicap of weight There
is a possibility of these men being
benched in the coming contest and
in that event there are Carlson,
Seekins and Tufts to fill their places.
The same three men who played last
week might be juggled around to find
the ideal combination.
Colby's main difficulty has been
the lack of a strong defense, the Of
fensive power of the Blue and Gray
was clearly demonstrated against
Bowdoin, when in the last few
minutes of play. Colby scored two
touchdowns.
There have been three lean years
go by since the last Colby victory
over Maine, and the Muleteers are
eager for a revenge. The team feels
that it has the stuff and will show
enough of it to win the coming
game of the State series.
The men who are quite certain to
get in the fray with Maine are:
Fotter, Callaghan, Fielder. ends;
Peacock. guard: O'Donnell. center;
Erickson, quarterback; Rogers and
Johnson, halfbacks; Drummond,
fullback. The rest of the positions
are undecided as yet.

Martinsburg, W. Va, Oct. Esp,
All four football games of the
Chambersburg, Pa, high school, in
the Cumberland Valley Athletic

of the Pennsylvania schools insis-

came known today with announce
ment that the game with Winches-
ter, Va, had been called off
Martinsburg, Hagerstown, Nd. and
'Waynesboro, Pa, had previously
cancelled games with Chambersburg.
That school in calling off the Win
chester game gave as a reason the
fear of a demonstration because of
publicity given the other cancelIa-
tons.
The three schools contended a
"gentlemen's agreement" provided
that no negro player would be used
in league games. Chambersburg
authorities insisted no such agree
ment existed.

IN SATURDAY GAMES

New York, Oct. 2S-(P)-Pigskins
that pass overhead are coming in for
much attention this week on the

Harvard and Princeton, of the Big

A crippled Dartmouth varsity

passing hand is too swollen for act
ion, is watching substitutes drill for
Brown. Dooley seems definitely lost
TO the green for the Saturday en-
gagement.
Pennsylvania plans more than a
hidden ball attack and deceptive ell
bow pads for Illinois. The Red and
Blue spent the last practice before
leaving for Urbana working on an
air attack. Charley Rogers, star of
the cast, is still i'll but will make the
trip.
Four other teams with inter-sec-
tional rivals are switching to the air
to develop a warm greeting BETTING

for Michigan State; West Virginia

the last home game scheduled for
this season and il will be some
vile that Coburn is confident of win

ers Of NJ. c. /. don't see it that way,

Several fans in Augusta have signi-
lied their intentions of attending the
Gardiner-Cony game provided that II
is played in the morning or on Fri

this city are also ardent Bowdoin or
Maine fans and wish to take in 10
college game as Wen as the annual
classic between Gardiner and Cony
High school. Just what solution. IF
any, will be found fer the situation
is not known just at present.
Considerable comment has bedi
heard in Augusta and Halloweu dur
ing the past few days regarding toe
proposal by HALLOWEEN that the Two
teams play and the alleged refusal
on the part OF the Cony mana cement
to consider a game between the ITO
teams. The Hallowen correspondent
for the Lewiston Evening Journal is
unldnd enough to say that the FL

the two teams is so great as to G3
count any advantage which eithe-

out OF its way TO play teams from
bigger schools. :.
