of the Ebenezer Baptist Church. He
spoke of the matter saying that the
publication concerning him was news
paper talk. He had received the call
and was considering it. He would
not announce whether he would ac-
cept or refuse it. He would be guild
ed by the Lore in the matter 1t has
since developed that the Ebenezer
Baptist Church sent committee to
this city about two months ago. One
was the chairman of the Deacon
Board and the other chairman of the
Trustee Board.
The report must have been highly
satisfactory. This committed. attend
ed the services OF the Fifth Street

COLBY TAKES DAY
TO REST. after
MAINE TUSSLE

Waterville, Nov. 1.-The Colby
football squad was given we'll
earned rest today after their hard
game with Maine, Saturday. The
team emerged from the game with
few serious injuries. Potter. right
end, was taken from the game early
because of torn muscle in his side;
Carlson and Washington we're
bruised up pretty badly, and Mac
Leans injured leg was slightly
strained. None of these injuries,
however. are of such an extent as
to keep any of the men, with the
possible exception of Potter, out of
practice tomorrow.
The improvement in the lineup,
due to the shifting of Bagnall and
Heal. and the insertion of Carlson,
was quite evident in Saturdays
game. Heal. back in his old place
in the line, right tackle, played his
best game of the season, while Bag
nall at left guard, fairly outplayed
himself. "Stonie" Carlson, the lanky
Swede, who turned in such a bril-
liant performance at left tackle that
he looks like sure fixture in that
position for the rest of the season.
Maine evidently aimed the majority
of their plays at what was the weak
spot in the Blue and Gray line but
they were stopped dead again and
again by him.
Captain O'Donnell and Peacock in
the center of the line showed their
All-Maine calibre when they repeat
edly broke through to toss the Maine
backs for losses.
The two substitute ends, Callaghan
and Washington, turned in two Won
derful performances. Callaghan was
the star of the day, topping off a
brilliant game with his sensational
61-yard run. 1t looks as if the end
berth was cinched for him in the
coming game. Washington's work
was only slightly overshadowed by
that of Callaghan and any man will
have TO fight to GUST him from right
end.
The backtield will remain the
same. with Erickson, at quarter,
MacLean and Johnson at left half.
RRogers and Seekins at right half.
and Drummond at full. Drummond
was the big noise in the Colby back
field against Maine and can be relied
on to repeat next Saturday against
the Newport Naval Training Station.

m, C, |, TEMPORARILY SEWERS ALL
ATHLETIC RELATIONS WITH COBURN
MORSE HIGH YET
TO WIN A GAME

Bath. Nov. Morse high schools
football team of Bath has vet to
break into the win column on the
gridiron and the chances are rather
slight with such teams as Biddeford
and Deering high looming up in the
immediate foreground. The nearest
the school has come to victory is
it's scoreless tie with Edward Little
high school. Saturday Morse was
licked by Rockland 60 but displayed
far better football than at any time
to date.
Somehow the shipping city fans
are entertaining faith that the green
men are going to wind up the sea-
son with two great stands against
the Biddeford and Deering teams as
the unseasoned material is getting
a bit better each week. The one
hope held out for a victory is at
Hallowell on Armistice day and even
there Morse is weaker according to
comparative scores. The loss G
Doyle veteran back for two or three
games and scholastic ineligibility cut
a wide swathe in the schools
chances.
