prophecy of a tough season has been as much a part of the fall pigskin parade as the spring holdouts were to baseball However his doom is as good as sealed a fair bet that the BU new attitude about his profession wilk spread rapidly from college to college and coast to coast es pecially to those institutions that have scheduled Service teams? or Holmer' explains his stand thusly: every coach is

there fighting every inch of the way and if' we are on the small end of the score find no alibis These kids we have fall may be training for something far more important than a football game and they are go ing to get out there and learn how to give This new outlook (which undoubtedly will spell quietus for the bigots who would reform the gridiron game) will not only be a refreshing change but strike a harmonious note with the patriotism of 'the times But it must be admitted that i it won't make the job of the sports writers any easier arifrbm it They will have much more reason to be annoyed the press agents As a result of the plight the dopesters and bettors will soon find themselves in a corner That may sound far fetched but an idea of what may happen take a hypothetical case right here in Waterville in fact Some sunny October afternoon shortly before the Colby Bowdoin game wander up 1 College avenue to talk 'over the kick with Bill Millett' and dis cover the possibilities of its being powerful enough to dis pose of the Polar Bear The squad limps out onto the field from the dressing room We scratch our chin thoughtfully as we note the yards a of adhesive tape wrapped around ankles knees etc The boys are obviously badly manged up We can almost hearts their joints crack as they stagger through the practice session However the coaching staff refuses to admit that everything is not 6s it should be "The boys are in fine shape says Millet just a little sluggish today The adhesive tape? Oh nothing Just a bruise here and there You can say be at full strength against Bowdoin and in the pink of condition' So we go back to the office and write just that omitting any mention of the limps bandages and lack of life displayed by the squad We must keep faith with the new coaching code and not print anything that could be construed as an alibi for or by the Colby staff Saturday dawns bright and clear Game time the teams prepare for action Bowdoin fielding what Adam Walsh declared in August to be a weaker than usual eleven (We'll give him till Labor Day to change his tune) The the battle is on The spectators scouts press all see why the Polar Bears are running wild in and around the kickless Mule But the fansiwho enjoy their football by reading the papers get no hint that Colby took the field swathed in tape and carrying an assorted collection of canes and crutches All they know is that an underdog Bowdoin team swamped a highly rated Colby eleven The scribes carefully avoided mention of injuries and even included state ment that "Bowdoin was too good for us" No alibis So the next week the fans who just read the papers bet their shirts on Bowdoin to take Maine and Bates to wallop Colby But that is exactly what happen The Mule trainers have done their work well on rubbing table and with sun lamps Arriving in Lewiston in really tip top shape they throw a speedy and powerful Bobcat for a loss while in Orono Maine discovers that Bowdoin is actually than usual' The shirtless sports will probably never be able to figure out what happened unless they meet someone who was there" But that bring back 'the lost raiment Well things may not be quite as screwy as pic tured them but there are certainly some very definite possi bilities present that may develop in interesting fashion Barred 310 220 out 220 Also started Vital and Berry Han over Time: 211 1 4 Pool $1263 Twelfth Race Nesco Hanover Phalen 280 240 220 Alice Grattan Avery 330 220 Harry Direct Bond 220 Also started: Dale Harry Van and The Law Time 207 1 2 tri nA blended WHISKEY Hawkins 570 220 220 Dynamite Hal Berry 220 220 ft Ready Nelson 220 I Also started Danny Dale Rip Hanover Jr Hal Spruce and Gib son Hanover Time 711 Pool $2786 Eleventh Race 0ypsy Hanover Jones lottery Phalen Alee Cameron A1KA AtAted Braves Bumped BUY 'BONDS THE ALE WITH THE ttL 1 I Bj mm I 'I i I jgggglggi Jr WiW A 1 TL 'W 'Mf A gffi jff a Er OeSwnghara I JnaW I The Cigarette 1 of Quality 1 1 jHjNfeart for loss money a i A I i I UB VU UMMwr 7 i LUit 'V I I 1 ar mm I SV 1 1 SV Ah Efdild in I I Illi a a III A CT WW MM fjwjxjr a fur I I i HM IT Mirl 1 A' 'Z'" 1 ni wwt 89 1 i i a a A I 6 It 2V5 Dl Wk Al a Jr I 9' 9 MS I IN A1 KYkv I MM 'iT'J 1 1 JK: MAVzA' AMI XT TJET r'Hr fJ71T MTlTT nT lit mmmctbct I 1 BOSTON ab a DiMaggio cf 3 1 13 0 Pesky ss 4 0 2 0 4 Williams If 3 11 0 0 Doerr 2b 3 0 0 1 6 Lupien lb 4 0 1 12 0 inney rf 2 2 110 Tabor 3b 4 2 3 1 0 Peacock 4 0 1 8 0 Hughson 4 0 0 1 1 Totals 31 6 10 27 11 New York 003 000 4 New York ab bh po a Rizzuto ss 4 0 0 2 2 Rolfe 3b 3 0 0 2 1 Henrich lb 3 0 0 7 0 DiMaggio cf 4 1 1 2 0 Keller If 4 12 3 0 Gordon 2b 3 0 1 2 0 Selkirk rf 3 0 1 3 0 Rosar 2 0 0 5 0 Dickey 2 0 0 1 0 Bonham 3 0 0 0 2 Totals 31 2 5 27 5 Boston ab bh po a DiMaggio cf 4 0 12 0 Pesky ss 40113 Williams If 4 0 0 3 0 Doerr 2b 4 0 2 3 1 Lupien lb 4 0 0 6 1 inney rf 4 1110 Tabor 3b 3 0123 Conroy 3 0 0 7 1 Dobson 3 0 0 2 2 Totals 33 1 6 27 11 New York 000 000 Boston 000 010 1942 QUALITY BRANDS INC Law rente Mass J1NE.
