Signal Drill Only
for Varsity on
Eve of Bates Game
•Th" Coll*- team had its last prac- j
tier V'fore llie Bates game Friday]
afternoon at ^caverns ticld. Coach j
McAuliffe gave his men no scrim- i
mage but . sent tl#m through a long1
signal drill, after which they hit the '
dummy until'<Ufrk. Young and Hu 1 - j
lit an and Endholme devoted ;* good
part of their time to drop-kicks and !
Itunts.
Young is a new man, coming from j
Philadelphia, and has proved to the i
couches that he knows football. |
Therefore) he will probably start the j
game today, at quarterback. Wormy, |
the other quarterback and a man w ho j
Played last year, stem:; to be si little !
light for the position but Coach Me- i
Auliffe has,, not said u ho will start:
the game. i
Dunnack, another new man, will
probably start the game at right half, i
lie has showed good light so far and
played a dependable game down set !
Frown. Either Millett or Royal will
Mart the game at right half. MillcLt i
i tries from Whitman, ,Mas:u, and I
*iiv be raid to he as good a man as ;
,there Is in the backfield. Itoyal i;t i
not a <ie wrr.an aS he played som~
la.^ year but never has he shown m>
as well as this year. He plays a hard
fast game. Hendricks will start the
game at full back. He is a rather
short man but as fast as lightning.
Sullivan is also a full back tait has
had trouble with his legs and has
not had the workouts with the team :
on. account of that.
• McQary or Callahan will play left
end. Both are fast and can slip
through a knothole for a tackle if (
need bo. Dolbears or Soldo will take ‘
care rf the other and there is not»
much choice between them. Dulb are
has had more experience, so it is
fficught that he will bo selected to J
start. j
Lowery will play left tackle
and thiso who have played against :
him say, that he can take care of I
thgt place tq perfection. No man
<\i.er played harder, more ■ persistent - j
than the Colby captain.
The other tsfeklr' position will be I
taken care of by Endhnim \ the bus- ,
ky All-Maine man who placed center
last jTar. Either Woodlock or Huhn ]
v.dl play tl»e center position tfcid al- !
though th"y have not played as much !
as the former center they have gnat !
help inthe two guards that flank ,
there. Brown will play the right po- j
sition and cifher Co6k or Maynaban !
the other. Brown has been playing j
for two years for Colby and can hold
’’is own against the others. Cook ■
Ms; s a veteran and has hud a good j
d al of oxficrienee. Moynshsn. the i
of hey guard is a new man but all the !
>■( ar has played a strong game j
against his heavier team-mates and j
comes out considered the best guard ]
on tlv right side of the lino. Minna- \
ban will nrobebjv start, as Cook
seems to be having an off-spell but
things are doubtful as to how it will
turn out.
Night-Before Rally
Colby held its regular rally last
Hight’ prior to the Hates game today. !
and it was a success. > Everybody i
turned out to the affay- and it scents
to he the same old spirit that pre- i
vailed a year ago. Everybody' on tin |
Colby campus .last night caught that
spirit and today that same spirit will
bo seen on Seaverns Field about half
past two. Conte and get a little bit
of it; it will do you good.
The college band, made up of IS
pieces, started things off with a bang
"On to Victory” was the selection and
this was followed by the college cheers
and more songs. Words of wisdom
were spoken by Manager Cushman con
cerning ttie attendance at rallies and
games. Hike Ryan spoke on the com
ing game and said the team has the
istuff to win. Assistant Coach .Edwards
gave his opinion of the Colby spirit,
saying thgt before he came to Colby
he had heard of its spirit and pep
i but that never realized that a college
could have so much. Coach McAa
liffo reminded the gathering that to
day President Roberts and Professor
Hubbards birthdays and that the
I team ought to make them a present
I of a victory. Me stated that so far
i the breaks have been against, rather
! than for Colby, and it was about time
• for them to change. "But,” he added,
I "wc are not going to -wait for the
■ breaks. We are going right in and win
that game.”
There were a few more cheers and
the band played “On to Victory.” Ail
the, students will-meet at tbo iampu-:
*at 1.50 o’clock today to march to the
field.

of them can be packed in an Ameri- !
can Red Cross packing case. These
cases must bo shipped to reach the
Bush Terminal in New York not la-!
tor than Nov. 1.
Great latitude may he allowed in {
the choice of articles put into the
boxes, but those for boys and girls
should be equally divided. The chil
dren to receive them will range in
ago from six to foui li»n years, so
that mittens, stockings and similar
articles shouid lie so listed on the
outside of the box in order that the
child may receive the right-sized
garments.
The following suggestions are'
made by the Red Cross of gifts
which muy be cither purchased or
ma^e at home: Rag or celluloid
dolls, hhir ribbons, marbles, rubber
halls, colored pictures. books,~cakes
of soap. tops, pencils, tooth brushes,
dominoes, mittens, stockings, hand
kerchiefs, wasli cloths, home-made
candies, nuts and raisins.

Addresses Local Plumbers
at Meeting Held Friday
! _ I
Daniel L. Hanson. Field Representa
tive. Speaks to Plumbers on the Pe
culiar Problems of Their Trade—
Tells Things of Interest in an In
teresting Way
At an interesting and instructive
meeting of the Maine Master
Plumbers’ association, held in the
Chamber of Commerce room Friday
night. Daniel L. Hanson, a field rep
resentative of thy. National Trade
Extension Bureau of the Plumbing
and Heating Industry, spoke to a
very appreciative audience.
Mr. Hanson is speaking to the
master plumbers in different parts of.
the State on the peculiar problems
of their I iu.de. He carries with him
j a series of interesting charts giving j
i information relative to various phases
; of the work.
j By comparison of the natural dc- '
mand for food and clothing and alsoj
of plumbing, and then of /the do-;
: mand for those things created by
j modern sales methods, he showed '
that the plumbers were sadly lacking
in their methods of selling. He also j
'displayed a chart showing that <tl
I 100 children who were born in
homes having modern plumbing. 07
would live to reach the age of five,
while if there was no modern con
j veniences, only <NO would reach this
A very interesting matter came up
when he proved to the men present
that they were not making anything
on the labor of their men at present
■wages as their overhead expenses ale
up all profit. This talk was very
well received and there is no doubt
that it was worth a lot to those pres
ent.
