The past season has been one of great satisfaction to Maine undergraduates and alumni, for when the State series opened the Maine team was not considered as having a chance of winning. The veteran Bowdoin team with Frank Farrington, its star half-back, was the favorite to win the championship. The Colby team had showed real power at its game against Brown and was considered a contender. Bates and Maine were expected to fight out for third place. Coach Brice had to build up a new team, only three first string men were left him from last year’s championship eleven. However, as the season progressed the Maine team developed more and more rapidly. Brice taught them a multitude of plays and under the able leadership of Captain “ Ginger” Fraser, what is considered by many to be Maine’s best football team, was developed. Maine’s strong point has been team work and fight. The 1925 club has won the admiration of Maine men everywhere.
