A JEeiiietu nf the fear OLLEGE officially opened with the new year. The S. A. T. C. occupied (IT the campus in the fall. Little attention was given to studies, and military drill, under a strictly military regime held sway. With signing of the armistice came the demobilization of the S. A. T. C. and the close of a period of wanton destruction to the various college buildings and fraternity houses on the campus. After a vacation of two weeks old Maine opened up with a rush and a bang and the old fighting spirit of a different character dominated the campus. Varsity basketball was revived and the first game of the season Maine over- whelmed the B. A. Rovers, 61-9. The old pep was there along with the Co-eds and of course after the game, dancing was enjoyed. Maine sent Graduate Man- ager C. Lindsay Stephenson to Waterville to a conference of the Maine colleges where it was decided to return athletics to a pre-war basis. O boy, and what did Maine do to the Colby Comets in the first college game? Nothing much, only 57 to 21 and the boys went home a sadder but wiser lot. With the coming of Pat” French to coach the track team came a feeling of optimism along track lines. After being with the team for a couple of weeks he took them to Boston to participate in the B. A. A. games where they won from Bowdoin. The Campus, with an entirely new board, has been giving the weekly news to the men and women who never attend the college functions and with Tolman, '20, as Editor-in-chief, has been bettering itself with each issue. The interfraternity meets were revived with the result that Delta Tau Delta received the cup for first place given bv the Sophomore Owls and Sigma Xu the cup for second place given by the Junior Masks. The usual dances at Alumni were in order and the fraternities helped to alle- viate the sufferings of the more unfortunate ones and did their bit.” Nine eastern colleges met at Springfield and formed a new Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Class basketball was revived with the result that the 1920 team was proclaimed champion and has still to be defeated in three years of basketball. The Sopho- mores won two and lost one while the unfortunate Seniors lost three games. Varsity basketball was still reigning supreme and Capt. Jerry” brought his quintet into port ahead of the Hingham Sailors by eight points. In the next game Dean Academy met Maine on an off-night and won by the score of 25-19, but . laitie came back strong in the last game of the season and beat the P C F A 42-26. . . . ., S A™ScC0 StitUtCS ,he activities at tl,e University since its deliverance front the SOMETHING ATTEMPTED, SOMETHING DONE IS A BATTLE FOUGHT AND A BATTLE WON. 6
