THE fame of N inety- L.x .has become pread abroad to o great an extent that the Bo ton Globe sent a re porter down to Waterville, not long ago, to i nve tigate the matter. The following is taken from the letter which 'rn publ i heel in the Globe : *

Farewell we cannot say, Dear Colby; Thy impress graved upon the heart, Thy love, thy care shall still us follow, Nor from thy influence can we part. pon life's soft or rocky pathway,
Those scenes that gladdened many an hour, In future days shall come to bles s, Some hallowed nook, or face or pastime, All clothed in fancy' richest dress. · Again, rebuilt from memory's storehouse, The singing group will meet once more To chant with well-tuned hearts and voices The praise of Colby, Ninety-four.
Well fitted for life s nobli:st task, \Ve enter full of hope and courage; And now thy richest blessings a k.

Thi wide-. J read reYi,·al of Bible learni ng account for the great piri tual awakening. ' hich ham recently taken iJlace i n many of our in titutions. Thi. account for the fact that the tudent olunteer moveme11t ha ent two men a. weel.:: , on an aYerage, to the foreign fie] !. The foody . um mer chool ha been a mo. t important ao-ency in awakening and continuing this new intere t in the Bible. The Colby delegate who atte nded these ummer onference became leeply interested in this new phase of a ociation work. Early i n the pring of ' 9 � , a cla · was formed a t olby, follo"'·i ng as nearly a po. . ible the method and plan of tudy outline l a t Northfiel l . Only six joined in this . tudy, yet each member of the las� began to et: new beautie i n the Bible. The following year, four la e were formed. 1\Yenty-fiye men carried the work through the year. It was e\·ident from the year's experien e that the plan of tudy require l no further trial to prove it adaptation to the need of allege men. orthfield la t ummer, they were reque ted to make a special im·e. ti g:ation of When our delegate went to Bible study, that \Ye m ight comi lete our sy tern.

URI
G the past winter there has been a revival of interest in the royal game of Che
at Colby, and the
indications are that the game has come again to stay. Football in the fall, and base ball in the spring furni h . the recreation and amusement to the tudent which they need, but in the interval between these two games there
ha always been a dearth of sport, and che During the winter a chess club ha
seems to be the one thing needful to fill the gap. been organized, and a tournament of the members has been played.
One hour
each Saturday evening has been devoted to careful study of the mo t approYed openings of the game, under the in. truction of Prof.
Iarquadt, who kindly proffered hi
en-ices.
Prof. Marquadt wa
Germany; he ha a profound knowledge of the game, and hi
a
a di tingui hed member of a che s club in
istance has been much appreciated by the players of
chess at Colby. An attempt was made to organize a ches league among the colleges of Maine, but for this year, at least, the attempt was a failure.
Our challenges were declined by both Bowdoin and Maine State, while Bates failed to reply.
The pro pects are, however, that next year will see a league of at least three of the colleges of Maine, and if this occurs, the growth of che
, the noblest of game , both here at Colby and in the other Maine college , is as ured.

THE struggle for the pennant, la t year, in the Iaine College League, lacked not a little i ntere t for Colby's upporter on accoun t of the fact that her old and honored rival, Bowdoin, wa not a member of the league. Bates and :l\Iaine 'tate, howe,·er, were no mean antagoni. ts, and ren.dered the re ult of the conte t doubtful in the extreme until the end, when Colby, a · u ·ual, hoisted the pennant OYer her grand tand. At the beginning of the ea on, the pro pects of Colby's team were by no means good, and, i ndeed, u ntil the last few games, victory wa. hardly hoped for, even by the mo t e nthu ia tic " rooters." Captain Hoxie was a hard worker, the team was com[ o eel of ons ientious players and managed by an able man, but somehow, in ri tical situation , the boys had an exasperating habit of letting the ea ·ie:t grounders go unmolested by, and of swiping ambitiou ly at the unre i ting atmosphere, while the ball ailed calmly OYer the plate and settled lovingly in the op 1 osing catcher's mit. This wa kept up u ntil the upporter · of the team were well-nigh de perate, and a shaking up of the whole team ensued which produced a combi nation, not only a . urpri e to i t. elf but al o to it opponent . One game i especially worthy of rnention. One balmy afternoon Bates cros ed bats with us on the campus, with 82

Then followed a tragedy, heart-rending to witne early eyery man on the Bate team wa utilized a pitcher, with the ame um·arying re ult, and the . pe ta le of their punishment a t the hand of our men would have been ridiculous, bad it not been o I itifnl. ympathy for the unfortunate makes n uppre s the final s ore, whi h hardly topped hort of three figure . The la t game of the eason, which brought the pennant to olhy, "·a perhap the prettiest conte t eyer fouaht on the Colby diamond.

The fact that the pennant <lepencled upon thi game, and that, during the trugale, the ba e were t11'ice filled by Bate men with nobody out, made the game one of peculiar interest .

The re ord made by the eleven wa not remarkable, and the num ber of games won wa. not large, yet better football wa played than ever before at Colby. There was more material for a good team and more i n tere t li. played by the players and the ollege at large than in preceding years ; and at the beginning of the sea on prospe t · were encouraging in the e treme. .Mr. Talone, of Han'ard, proved a most efficient coach, and the boy worked hard u nder hi� instruction. At the t ime of his de 1 arture, wi th all the men in good condi tion, it i afe to :ay that we had an eleven of whi h great thing ould be expe ted, but a erie of unfortunate a cident changed somewhat the a pect of affair , and in no game wa the college repre ented by the tronge t eleYen po ible. The ea on opened with a game with Kent H i ll, and the resulting · ore wa · 10 - 1 0. Thi in i t:elf was not an i nauspi ious beginning. Kent' H i ll, without doubt, wa the tronge t fit ti ng- chool team in the tate, bad been coached by experienced men, while we put in the field a team of i nexperienced player . Our next game, which wa with the Hebron eleYen, re ulted in a creditable outh Berwick came Yictory for u:, and thi wa followed by that mo ·t gratifying game oE the ·ea on with outh Berwick. down with a team of giant , confident of winning, while we were di ablecl by Captain Jordan' i nability to play. The big crowd in atten lan e expected to ee us defeated, and when the opponent failed to core wh ile we cleverly rolled up e ighteen point , all were urpri ed. In e\·ery particular that game furni he · occa ·ion for a feeling of pride. In the three remaining games, one with Bowdoin and two with Bates, we were defeated. But in each ca e much prai e i lue the eleven for the way in whi h they played i n the face of hard l uck. They creditably repre ented the college.

But while the full-back wa collecting hi data, the Anglo-Saxons had broken through the line. 1 he full-back, seeing them coming, turned and sprinted for his own goal, but wa tackled by Sain on the twenty-yard line and downed.

" Yes, yes, I see, I see," said Santy, and willing to obey orders, but completely bewildered, he tried to kick the ball but missed i t, and instead kicked the fiery guard a blow, the momentum of which, computed by multiplying the mass by the velocity, must have been enormous. The Anglo-Saxons got the ball and steadily advanced it.
On the second down the ball was passed to Curtis
and he was sent at the line, but Stetson reached OYer and tackled him.
Curtis tried to crawl along after he was down,

" I think we are quite prepared to make a second test of our p �ysical powers " ; and the game would have gone on, but right here there was a sharp dispute between Rob and Dutchy, a to which one of them was the star kicker of the Faculty team.
