FOURTH VICTORY,
Bowdoin Wins More LaureIs
by Defeating Colby.
Colby's Ends Unable to Break Up Bow
doin's Fine Interference.
Unfair Tactics IaduIged in on Both sides :
Score, Bowdoin, "a, Colby, o.

Bowdoin played her sixth game Of the
season. this afternoon, winning her
fourth victory by defeating Colby Uni
Versity with a score of "a to 0. The
rain came Gown with a steady driz-
zie during the first half and as a re-
suit the slippery ball was fumbled by
both sides several times, although not
to an lneXcusable degree The most
noticeable feature of the. whole game
was the indiserininate smuggling and
dirty playing INDUCED in by the Colby
team. They seemed to think that
loot ball was game where they stood
around for five minutes and then went
IN to see how many men they could
inJure in one scrimmage. The Colby
team is inexcusable for the manner IN
which they Dersistently used up time
which should have been employed in
playing straight football. 1t is due to
this fact that Bowdoin did not score
once OF, twice more in the second half.
Bowdoin put uD good game but
did not seem to be able to gain much
through the line although end runs
were comparatively easy to make,
GreGSon going around once for 45
yards and at another time for 80 yards.
In the first half Hunt made a long run
| from the centre of the field scoring a
| touchdown while Albee "A little before
| that had gone down the field for "a
| yards. Only three times did Bowdoin
| fail to make her distance in the three
| downs but the ball was given to Colby
twice on account of alleged holding
| in the line when Bowdoin had appar-
emily scored two touchdowns. At least
| one of these decisions were wrong for
if there was one thing Bowdoin did not
do it was holding. Hunt put up a
| great game for Bowdoin considering
| his lack of practice with the team,
| but in the second half Captain Clarke
| took Hunt out and put Bellatty in at
half in his place. Bellatty did some
fine work, carrying the ball up % yards
| on the second kickoff and making
| short gains without exception when
ever he was sent with the ball. He
was hurt during the half and Paul
Hill took his place. Hill is good
man and showed it plainly this after
noon. He played a hard game right
along, breaking through the line once
and tackling SO fiercely that Colby lost
| five yards.
Bowdoin was universally weak, to-
day, on her defensive work, Colby car
rying the ball once as far as Bowdoin S
| 10 yard line where she lost it on downs
Bowdoin's centres holding like tigers
a good tackle by Bodwell costing Col
by three yards and the loss of the ball.
Scannell and Dudley played the best
game for Colby. Scannell played Il
hard game, bucking the line in great
shape and Dudley did fine work rum
ming with the ball. A great part of the
time Colby used the mass tackle play,
five men back of the line. This was
very effective and caused the Bowdoin
men considerable trouble. Haggerty
was in no condition to go into the game
and at the last part of the first half,
Cranshaw went in in his place. He put
up a good game. but was not equal to
the interference that Bowdoin put up.
There were several punts during the
game, but Upper, Colby's quarter, did
not do very good work at kicking, not
once making as long a punt as Clarke
did.
The game was called promptly at )
O'Clock, on the Whittier Athletic field,
grandstand was filled before the teams
lined up. Colby had the east goal and
Bowdoin the kickoff. Captain Clarke
kicked to the 25-yard line, where the
| ball was downed Colby then tried
some line plays but was unable to
make her distance and it was Bow
doin's bali on the 2S-yard line, getting
the ball on Colbys third down by a bad
| tumble. Cloudman then advanced the
ball II yards, Clarke going for hVe
more. Two short rushes and Bowdoin
got five yards through interference
with the center by Colby. Clarke made
four yards and then Hunt carried the
ball over for the first touchdown in just
four minutes. Captain Clarke kicked
the goal and Bowdoin hod six points.
Colby kicked off to the 24yard line,
Hunt taking the ball back five yards.
Albee then made a long run of 30 yards
through the line. Four short rushes
