Win Tomorrow Will Tie Colby For First Place In State Series The scratching, snarling Bobcats of Bates will invade Seaverns Field at 1 :30 tomorrow afternoon in what we hope will be a fu- tile attempt to halt the recently kicking Mules of Colby. A win for either team in this feline-equine battle will make a definite difference in the state series standings. If the Bobcats should emerge purring in victory, they will take over second place in the Maine league and leave Bowdoin undisputed champs. A Colby win, however, would drop Bates to an inconspicuous third and put the hee-hawing Mules in a tie with the Polar Bears.
