BOwdoin and Colby Score Six Apiece
at Waterviile.
Good Punting Alone Saved Bowdoin
From Defeat-Story of the Game.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1
| Water vile. November 11.-Before an
enthusiastic crowd, in q driving rain,
Colby played the game of her life. Bow
doin was fairly confident OF winning.
Colby had hopes and 1t looked twice as
though she would win. With punter
behind her line her chances would have
been better although Tupper was very
poorly protected on his attempts, and
two blocked kicks are as much due to
this as to Bowdoin's g fast playing. Stan
wood g punts materially aided BoWdoin
to score as Colby held her well on at
tempts at rushing.
Bowdoin's game was not the equal of
the exhibition given at Brunswick on
the .21st. She doubtless missed Kendall
and Murphy, but Ives's work was quite
satisfactory, particularly his tackling.
Spear and Clarke played well. Clarke's
goal was trying one as the two points
were needed to tie the score and many
kicker would have been too nervous.
Stockbridge and Gould are not adopts at
tackle playing and were successfully
put out of the play too many times.
French and Shute were fully occupied
by.Scanneu and Thompson. EndIruns
were scarcely tried owing to the wet
grounds and on this account Bowdoins
was severely handicapped, as she relies
on her end plays chiefly. Stanwood was
much in Evidence with his punting.
Colby has improved great deal since
her first eameEwith Bowdoin. Her style is
very much changed and could she have
protected her punter the. game might
have baen hers. She was without her
best half, Alden, but MoFadden was in
the game for keeps. Her line was on the
whole superior to Bowdoin's, her backs
not as good on offense, but better on de-
Tense. Her team work and her interfer-
ence was several points better then Bow
doin g in the first half. Lamb made sew
eral good runs between Veazie and
Gould. Brooks and Scannell were fol-
lowing the ball closely and made some
good tackles.
