Ine POrtland Press Thursday said.
Colby college sent her team to Port
land, yesterday, to battle for honors
with the team of the p. A. c. The lat
ter team won by score of six to moth
ing, the winning touchdown and goal
being made by Johnny Sullivan in his
old time style of play. 1t was most
interesting game to watch there being
great deal of punting and some ex-
cellent playing on both sides.
The attendance was somewhere in
the neighborhood of 500 and among
others present was Miss May Irwin,
lgnacio Martinetti and Robert Lowe
and some other members of Miss
Twins company. Many old Colby men
in this city were present and helped
cheer the visitors. OF course the big
tally-ho of the p. A. c. decorated in the
Spanish colors of yellow and red was
one of the features OF the day.
Macreadie of the p A. c. was I'M
able to play on account of lame knee
and Sullivan captained the team in his
good game taking all in all with less
fumbles than usual, an improvement
in the interference and some little team

provement in all of these things.
Colby's team was much lighter than
the eleven of the p. A. C. In fact it
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. During the first half they
more than held their own, but at no
time was the Portland goal in danger
Scanners punting was a feature of the
Colby's playing. The college boys We're
exceptionally good at blocking off and
on smashing interference. Their line
was not quite heavy enough to with
stand the onslaughts of Warren,
Brooks and Smith, but they did well.
Scanned kicked off for Colby and
sending the ball flying into Johnny
Sullivan's arms on the Is yard line
| opened the game. Sullivan got 10 yards
up the field and was stopped. Then
there came a tumble, but p. A. c.
still held the ball. Sullivan punted to
| one of the Colby backs who caught the
| ball on Colhy's 30-yard line. The col
lege boys tried a few mass plays. but
| found that these wouldn't work for q
cent and they were forced to punt.
| Scanned punted outside about the as
yard line and it was still Colby's ball.
Dudley got five yards for Colby
through Portland's left guard. Dear
born tried to get around the right end
but was nailed with loss of three
yards or more by Kelley, who went
| through the Colby line like shot out
of a gun when the ball was put into

Scanned doing the job to the queens
taste. Dearborn skirmishing out after
the pigskin tumbled on it and it was
Colbys ball in the middle of the field
Then Colby tried to send Dearborn
around the left end. 1t was no go and
| mass play also failed to gain ground
At last it was Portlands ball on
downs on the center of the field. Then
came tumble and Colby had the ball
again. Portland keeping it about two
| minutes.
Scanned punted 50 yards towards the
Portland goal. Sullivan had been
watching for this and was we'll back TO
receive the kick. He returned the punt
for so yards and it was Colbys ball
once more with a five yard gain. This
scheme had worked so well that Scan
nell tried it again but this time the
kick was blocked by Warren and Dor
ticos and the latter player got the ball.
Chapman was tried with the ball but
fumbled badly and Lamb dropped on
the pigskin in time to save it. Kelley
woke up the P. A C rooters by taking
the ball to Colby's 10-yard line. Then
came another tumble and it was
Colby's ball once more. P. A. c. had
missed
Scannell at once punted to the 25-
yard line, where it was Porttland's ball.
Chapman got five yards gain and the
ball went to. Colby again and Colby was
also given 10 yards for holding in the
line. Dearborn tried for gain through
the center but failed to make an inch.
Scannell then punted off side again to
the 30-yard line and it was Dearborns
ball. Colby then worked criss-cross
with Dearborn for five yards more and
Haggett and Dearborn together man.
