A Word About
Comparisons

Some advertisers consider the
policy of inviting comparisons as
bad practice, on the theory that it
should not be suggested THAT any
one look elsewhere. Such an atti-
tude, we think, betokens a certain
lack of confidence in their own
values, a reluctance to have them
measured by concurrent oppor-
tunities. Inasmuch as we are
endeavoring to bring to public
attention what we sincerely con-
slider the genuine advantages of
dealing with us, we do not hesitate
to ask you to compare these values
with any similar merchandise
offered elsewhere. Look where
you will-we only ask the favor of
a visit here as we'll will be
more convincing than all that we
might say. We are sure that you
will find it to your advantage.

| COLBY STAGES
| LAST WORKOUT FOR
| GAME With GARNET

Waterville, Nov. 9-Colby's last
hard workout of the year was held
this afternoon on Seaverns Field in
preparation for the Bates game on
Armistice Day The practice consist
ed of a dummy scrimmage and a
scrimmage from punt formation
against the second team. Seekins was
being drilled for the kicking in the
latter scrimmage and he was success
full in getting off long boots averaging
over As yards.
The practice was held in the driv-
ing rain and the players were ham
pered somewhat by the muddy condi-
ton of the field, but the varsity had
little trouble in smothering the sec
ond team
Colby is especially keen on winning
the game against the Garnet, as the
Muleteers have yet to win a State Sc
ries game this year. 1t will be Cap
tain O'Dpnnells last game for the
Blue and Gray and he has high hopes
of leading his team to victory on
their last appearance this season.
"Newburyport" Jack Erickson, Col
by's quarterback, also has special
reason for wanting to cop win in the
Bates game. The game will settle the
athletic supremacy of the Erickson
family, as his brother Eddie is varsity
quarterback OF the Garnet. Interest
is high over the positions of the two
brothers and it seems that Thursday
game will be case of when "Swede
meets Swede"
Fotter, scrappy right end of the
Mulcteers, win not play in the Bates
game as he was so badly injured in
the Maine contest that he will not be
able to start the game.
Rogers and Johnson have been go
ing very well in the scrimmages and
will probably start the game at Lewis
ton. Johnson has shown some beau
tiful broken field running of late. His
last Saturday was spectacular and
was as clever as any run on the Colby
field this season. In practice he has
been even more elusive for the OPP
posing side and has run the subs rag
sed. Rogers greatest value has been
as an interfering back. His work in
this line this year has been of the
best and he has been responsible to a
large extent for the gains that other
bacllfield men have been able to make.
The center of the line will probably

men are in very good condition and.
with the exception Of Potter and Joe
Washington, will be ready for the last
game of this state series.
