SEWARD •- A few young aristocrats played tennis in 1915 in Mexico City, but that was all there was in the way of sports; in Mexico, as in France and the rest of the "Latin world," the aristrocracy held that "only peasants got all in a sweat." And as for the peasants and the city workers, a twelve to fourteen hour day made the bare idea of sports seem absurd.

The Bobcats, who assured themselves of a winning season with two costly victories last weekend, seemed to regain their shooting accuracy against Brandeis which had been noticeably lacking against North- eastern, Bowdoin and the Coast Guard. The victories were costly in that Jim Sutherland, Pete Fisk, Mai Johnson and Carl Rapp sustained ankle sprains, and whether Sutherland or Rapp would be available tonight was questionable at press time. The Garnet, who are razor-thin as it is with regard to depth, will sorely miss any of the aforementioned. As for Maine, they are, to put it bluntly, loaded, and are a heavy favorite to win tonight. However, Peck has other plans: "We can upset them. I feel we will have a good game with them. They are very good, but our zone defense has pulled us up the last few games and we have been shooting better. Strategy will be very important in this game. Maine has tremendous depth — we can't try to run with them or we'll be in trouble. We have got nothing to lose and we are playing before home fans." Of course the physical condition of those in question will be a determinant. Over the years, there have been numerous Bates-Maine meetings in all sports in which the Pale Blue have been the pre-game choice. This writer has dutifully recorded this fact on these occasions and stated his fond hope for an upset. More often than not, the Bears have triumphed.
