Sullivan captained the team in his aD'
sence. The P. A. @. played very good
game taking all in all with less fumples

of these things.
Colby's team was much lighter thau
the eleven of the p. A. G. In fact 1t was
the lightest team Colby has had for some
years. They played very plucky football
and considering their weight put up
fine game against the home team. Durlne
