Waterville, November q. Colby Uni
versity. might be said to have been upon
regular lark Wednesday afternoon,
when the ,would-be law and medical stu
dents. to the number of % met to Etry
their skill in football contest upon the
college gridiron. The, contrasting elevens
were designated by color: Medics red.
signifyina blood; law, white, as an en-
bem of purity and justice. The colo RS
were worn by nearly every one on the
grounds, while banners of every descrip-
tion were carried. The gridiron was
guarded. by college men, dressed as po-
iicemen, with badges of silver nearly the
size OF plates. EVERYTHING outside the
playing was burlesqued.
More fun has seldom been witnessed
by the lovers of this sport. The two
elevens were Remarkably well matched,
and from the first played good, straight
game, allowing for the rule that no man
ever having played being barred from
the contest. The guards and tackles did
good work, no man exhibiting the. fear
for personal safety that was expected.
The game opened with kickoff by
the lawyers. The ball was brought up
lodging and sprinting Collins secured a
touchdown. Curtis's play was made in
like manner: then the tackles do better
work. Neither side is able to keep the
ball from lack of gains, and the first
half ends. A crafty Eplay by Collins
secures safety. when j. was almost
certain that the ball would be lost to his
ide by downs, the lines being. within
five yards of the goal. The Medics were
unable to hold their opponents here. but
were able to use up the timesat the %
yard line, and Whitman made touch
down by long sprint. The teams lined
up as follows:
Medics--Hall, left end; Wellman, left
tackle; King left guard; Rearce, centre;
Riggs, right guard; Padelford, right
tackle; Fuller, right end; Herrick,
Collins, left half back; Bryant, full

rush On the Yale eleven, has finally
decided to. yield to the physicians orders
and Will not play in the big games this

time, and now his physician has perem-
toriiy forbidden Greenway's appearance
on the grldiron again this year, or the
chances are that he will be unable to
