Hebron, Nov. 8--The Big Green
Harriers closed their season with the
winning of the Colby interscholastics
last Saturday. This is the first time
for a number of years that the Big

! Championship honors.
Considering the poor start much
credit is due Coach Hollis for the
good work of the team this year.
When candidates were called out
this fall only two veterans reported.
Those were Captain MCGOWAN and
frankie Bowen. None of the other
runners, including the famous Nur-
mi Folsom had ever had any exper-
ience In the Hill and Dale line. Near
ly all of the real promising aspirants
We're milers of worse still had no ex-
perience ut all. Such was the case
of Bearce, Cummings and Glover.
None of these men had the least idea
Of what race of any sort meant.
| Brooks and Booth and Folsom were
however all very good miiers. With
these handicaps. Coach Hollis put
himself to the task OF building up a
fast, wen punched pack. in which he
succeeded admirably.
Eight men won their II" this year
, they include: Capt MCGOWAN OF
Cambridge, Walter Folsom of Cor
rina, Booth of Lewiston, Brooks of
Watertown, Bowen Of Lowell Cum

For a nucleus for next years team
Coach Hollis will have Bowen,

It's promoters announce that it is
not campaign to raise money, to
proselytize among members of other

The Rt. Rev. James r. Freeman,

statement outlining the Crusade,
says: "There are abundant evil

pressing demand for an exposition
of the life and teachings of Him
whose message is eternally new.
That Christ has q message for the
modern world, adapted to modern
needs, is one of the most demon

and affection excels even the origin
atty of Jesus"

preparation beginning on St. An

resentatiye William s. Ware, Re

Quoted by Senator Norris, Republi-
can, Nebraska, who campaisned in
the Keystone state against Ware.
In disclosing this today. the Ne
braskan said that, if he found facts
which warranted such action, he
would not hesitate to request the
Reed campaign funds committee to
investigate the election in the near
future.
Senator Norris expressed the view
that this committee, which dis
: closed the expenditure of 100000
in the Pennsylvania Republican
primary last spring, had full author
ity to inquire into the election
itself
Senator Norris has stated that
the returns in the Ware Wilson con-
test showed that machine-control
methods were used in Philadelphia,
where Wilson failed to receive a
single vote in II precincts, although
under the law. Democrats were rep
resented among the judges and
clerks of election in those precincts.
He also has declared that it was
apparent on the face of the record
that no honest election was held, or
if an honest election was held. the
honest results had been with held.

Yale and Princeton are evidently
not taking their non scouting agree
ment very seriously Yale lost TO
Maryland last Saturday and a report
printed after the game says that the
Bulldog kept the first team out of the
bate because they did not wish 10
use their regular formations for fear
that Princeton might see them. 1t
is very probable that the non scout
ing agitation will abruptly cease after
the present season.
With the champion of the present
college series definitely decided the
next thing on the program will be to
select one of those mythical all Maine
aggrcgations. The person or persons
undertaking this task will fiud plenty
of material to choose from, with sew
eraI men starring in the different
positions. The teams this season were
all well drilled and the men aoper-
emily knew their positions very well
There are few men who are out
standing in their positions but they
are so few that they will not be OF
much help to the fan trying to pick
ont an all Maine group.
Tom ODonneI of Colby will not
find much opposition for the center
berth. The Colby center is one of the
best in the business and has made a
wonderful showing this season in tho
state series games. Dickson will I'M
doubtedly be named as one of tho
guards on every all-Maine outfit pick
ed The fullback position will be r
tossup. Drummond of Colby is cap
able football player but Coltart, the
Maine entry, Is one of the hardest
runners seen in the state for some
time When Coltart comes through
that lint, he comes through with the
intentions of going somewhere and
is one of the hardest men in the state
TO stop. If you don't believe it, ask
the Bates football team.
CoItart is a harder runner Drum
mond more polished and with more
experience and it is hard to say just
who will receive the honor. Bill Far
rington, whose work all through the
season has been outstanding, will be
the unanimous choice for one of the
halfback positions and there are q.
host of other good men, including
Charley Ray, Pat Peakes, Jim Buzz
yell and Evan Johnson, who will
make the selection for his running
mate q close battle. Rogers is also
an accomplished back. Lamoreau is
a capable tackle and his running
mate will undoubtedly be selected
from the capable group representing
Colby college. Erickson of Colby
looks good in the quarterback posi-
ton and the rest of the Jobs on the
squad will be vacant The person
who selects the winners of the posi-
tons must have plenty OF ability,
football knowledge and courage. Ev-
eryone is entitled to an opinion and
the final result of the choice of can
didates should prove to be interest
ing.
