mentor has the following to say:
was much surprised to notice in
some Of our Maine papers in a write
up about the Hebron Hockey season
that Coburn was credited with play"
ing their Varsity team only once. As
a matter of fact Coturn had two
games scheduled and contracted 70"

were present at both games OF not
we do not feel 1t our duty to question.
We do, however. believe that if Var
sity games are contracted for they
should be called Varsity games. He
bron has, however, given us credit for
losing to their Varsity team but has
also given US credit to winning from
their Second Team. We believe that
if Colby and Maine were advertised
and scheduled to play football and
some of Names players. became in
eligible that it would be considered
indiscrete to call the team which
I they sent to play Colby a second
team. / have heretofore made no
mention of the fact that when Co.
burn played Hebron in the last game
some of the players that had repre-
scented the school all the year were
