North Bridgton, Oct. 19.-Bridgton
Academy with one of the finest foot
ball teams in the history of the school
is having one of its very best seasons
and although it is a little too early
to say much about the championship
of the State, the followers of the
team are sure that Bridgton will have
to be reckoned with when the final
show down comes. Thus far this sea-
son Bridgton opened with NJ. c. I
at Pittsfield and held this team to a
scoreless tie and the next week NJ. c.
l. went to kents Hill and defeated
that school 14-6. In the second game
of the year Bridgton Academy went
to Hebron, where it held Hebron
Academy to the same scoreless tie as
1t had faced NJ. c. I. with. Both He
bron and Kent's Hill had played the
fast Notre Dame team of Watervillo
and the results of these two games
had been scoreless affairs. Last Sat

Detroit, Oct 19-(Pl-Two regu-
lations designed to speed up boxing
contests today were incorporated In
the rules of the National Boxing As
ISOLATION here.
One provides that a referee shall
be present at the weighing-in of
boxers to avoid giving of lengthy
instructions later in the ring The
other calls for the tapping and GLOW
Ing of boxers hands In their dress
Ing rooms under the supervision of
an inspector for the commission
Thus avoiding such delay in the ring.
The New York Boxing Commission
which is not member of the Ma
tlonal Association, was criticized at
yesterdays meeting. The general
sentiment Of the commissioners was
that the rulings of the New York
body should be ignored the same az
rulings of the Association are ignor-
ed by the New York Commission,
Pennsylvania and California besides
New York, are the only states where
boxing is conducted on any consider
able scale which are not members of
the National Boxing Association.
The Association which yesterday
approved the claims of Bud Taylor

held to have been forfeited by
Charley (PhiD Rosenberg, will de-

Otis KENDALL
BACK IN TOCS FOR
BOWD0IN OUTFIT

Brunswick, Me, Oct. 19-Otis
Kendall, captain Of the Bowdoin
College track team, who was in
jured in football practice two weeks
ago, was out this afternoon and took
part in the setting exercises, grass
drill and dummy tackling with team
mates, but did not attempt to get
into the Is minute scrimmage be-
tween the first and second varsity.
He could have been used to advan-
tage as Adams, right end of the var
sity failed to show up, owing to an
injury received in the Tufts game,
which bothered him considerably to-
day. William Murphy was shifted
from the second varsity to the first
team to fill in the vacancy caused by
Adams absence. Kendall stated
that he felt fit and that he would
probably be able to scrimmage to-
morrow.
During the 1J-minute scrimmage
this afternoon both teams scored
touchdowns. Capt. Frank Earring
ton scored for the varsity on long
end run. while Foster on similar
play scored for the second varsity.

Harvard Hopes
High for Win Over
Dartmouth Indians

New York, Oct. 19.-(P)-Harvard
and Dartmouth Saturday afternoon
will continue a football argument
started more than two score years
ago. There have been Interruptions
since the first game was played in
1882 but the Crimson and the Green
have managed to fight out thirty two
gridiron battles in the period of A
years.
Harvard has won % games while
Dartmouth was anneXing five and
there have been two no-decision af-
fairs. However, the Indians from
New Hampshire at the moment are
on an unbroken string of three con-
secutive victories, winning the games
of 1928, 1924, and 1925.
The Crimson enters Saturdays
game in cheerful frame of mind as
a result of last weeks developments.
Yale, by defeating Dartmouth,
showed that it can be done, and
Harvard, using William and Mary as
its first victim of the season, dem
onstrated that it is on the up grade.
Harvard won IS games in a row
from the Hanover contingent, the
first 16 being shutouts. From 1882
to 1899 Dartmouth did not score IN
the series. The Big Green team
broke into the scoring column in 1901
when it was on the little end of
q to IL score and took the losers
end again the following year by a
count of Is to 6. With the scoring
ice broken, Dartmouth defeated Har-
ward for the first time in 1903 the
score being II to 0. Two drawn con-
tests in order in 1904, when a score
less tie was played, and in 1906 when
the score was to g.
Dartmouth won in 1907 after Har-
ward had scored a victory the pre-
vious season. Harvard then won
fie games in as many seasons until
the series was interrupted for a ten
year stretch from 1912 to 1922. Har-
ward resumed its winning stride ilt

BIG TEN OUTFITS
PLAYING IMPORTANT
Tits SATURDAY

Chicago, Oct. 19--tPl-Western
conference football coaches today
waded into preparation for the sec
ond round of games in the Big Ten
title race with only an injury here
and there to hamper the work
A taking of stock showed virtually
every major cog in the conference
machines intact and in place after
three weeks of games that have
done much for the teams without
exacting a costly toll through in
juries.
Bob Zuppke, getting ready for
Michigan in Saturdays mid west
classic, was as hard hit as anybody
on the eve Of the test of the year
for Illinois, which last Saturday
brushed Iowa aside to challenge
Michigan's retaining the Big Ten
championship.
The doughty Bob must use sub
stitute left end in the place of
D'Ambrosio, out with a bad ankle
and it is doubtful whether Judd
Timms' fractured elbow will permit
the back to play.
Yost, on the other hand. ordered
heay scrimmage for a squad which
met a stubborn foe in Minnesota
Saturday but emerged without a
scratch.
Minnesota brought one major in
jury out of the Michigan game, and
began practice for Wabash with
Hanson suffering from a severe
kick in the head.
The Iowa squad turned up after
the Illinois homecoming with nc
big hang-overs. but with a SUI
quarter calling signals for the time
and Don Hines just getting accum-
toned to his uniform after hos
pital siege.
Chicago'S maroonS returned from
the Pennsylvania game with moth
ing to say" about the defeat and APP
parently fairly fit for Stages first
conference game of the year with
Purdue. The boilermakers emerged
ship-shape and the favorite to down
Chicago from Saturdays scoreless
tie with Wisconsin.
Pat Page found his Indiana var
sity suffering only in spirits from
from their defeat at Northwestern
hands. and set about organizing his
second westward invasion, against
Wisconsin. The Badgers reported
all present and ready for scrimmage
against Hoosier plays.
Ohio came back from. the triumph
over Columbia all keyed up for sat
urday's engagement with Iiwa and
at Northwestern there was persistent
talk of rising to down Notre Dame
in the game which ranks alongside
the Illinois Michigan fray.

Trout Placed in
| Water Ward Pond

Another fishing center is being de-
veloped in the vicinity of Augusta
for 1000 lingering trout have just
been placed in the brook at the head
of Ward pond in the town of Sid
ney. These fish were brought from
the Monmouth hatchery and the
brook in which they were placed
flows through Pleasant Pines at the
north of the pond. The waters are
said to be admirably suited TO the
proga CATION of fish.
These 1000 tlngerlings with the
several thousand that have been
placed in the pond during the past
few years should result in good fish
ing there. Ward pond. little known
to many people, seems to be due for
an era of popularity for fishermen
and cottage owners.
