studies and. with the addition of a large entering class, the place seemed mighty crowded. Football and cross-country practice started at once, the former being under the direction of Coach Janies A. Baldwin and the latter under Coach Frank P. Preli. The football team started the season bv swamping two army teams and then started in with the state teams that ended up in the state championship. It lost by a small score to the future warriors at West Point and later won the championship of the New England state colleges by beating New Hampshire State by 7-3. The cross-country team started on their upward path by winning a full score from Brown University's hill and dale men. Later the Maine Inter- collegiates were swallowed up followed by a tie for second place in the New England’s. The night before the Bowdoin game Maine Night took place and was pro- claimed by everyone to be the best one ever held at Maine. Spirit was alive and flowing and carried the team, the next day, down the held to a 18-0 win over Bowdoin. No varsity basketball took place in the winter due to financial conditions but was voted a varsity sport and will in the future be the big winter sport at Maine. A minstrel show was staged by the athletic association and concerts were given in Bangor and Old Town which proved a big success and will be con- tinuet! hereafter as an annual occurrence. During the winter a series of sports were arranged by the new Director of Athletics. George 1.. Rider, who has proved to be a big asset to the athletic interests of the University. Basketball, boxing, and track were fought over between fraternities and classes, and lively interest was developed. It has surely been a year of plenty and we have see the blue of our Alma Mater take on new splendor through the ever present spirit of her sons. 8
