Ninety years ago this May,
The Bates Student reported on an intercollegiate athletic competition for Bates women: an archery tournament vs. “unseen opponents….from many colleges and universities of the United States.”
The opponents were “unseen” because they didn’t travel to the Bates campus to compete, nor did Bates archers travel to theirs.
Instead, the 1931 Bates women’s archery team participated in a “telegraphic” tournament, where teams shot their bows on their own campuses, tallied the points, and telegraphed, as in dot-dot-dash Morse code traveling through wires, their scores to an offsite host for tallying.

Bates published this photo in the
Freshman Catalog of December 1941 to publicize “up-to-the-minute transportation available to Bates students.”
The airport is either Portland or Auburn/Lewiston, while the identities of the Bates men boarding the plane are unknown. (The pencil notation on the Kodachrome slide says, “Frosh boarding plane,” and a small Bates pennant can be seen on the luggage of the student at right.)
With the U.S. entering World War II the very month the photo was published, commercial air service nationally was mostly grounded.
With the outbreak of war, the airline pictured here, Boston-based Northeast Airlines, used its prewar experience flying from Boston to Maine and Vermont to forge a regular military route, the first of its kind, from Presque Isle to Newfoundland, Labrador, Greenland, Iceland, and Great Britain.

It’s opening day of the 2021 Major League baseball season, and here are some photographs and stories about the old ball game at Bates.
High Pitch
The Bates Student and an “elongated lefty” by the
Bangor Daily News, the late Donald Webster ’41 wore this glove as a 6-foot-5 lefthanded Bobcat pitcher. He was also a standout high jumper who held the Maine indoor record.
With a nifty curveball and changeup, Webster one-hit the University of Maine 70 years ago this month, allowing only two fly-ball outs and striking out eight.
