WATERVILLE.
THE VICTORY CELEBRATED.
Colby Students Make Rome Howl Over Foot
Bail Victory from Bowdo;n.

There was no question as to who
owned the town, Saturday night. 1t
was Colby and Colby was everywhere.
When the first news of the game came
into the city little after 5 o'clock no
one could believe that it was true.
There was hardly Colby man who
knew foot ball who predicted that vic
tory would do anything more than
hover over Colby's banner. The most
that the sanguine hoped was that Col
by would score, but when the word
came that the game had been won by
Colby. and that Bowdoin had been shut
out there was no end to the joy. The
victory was talked over in hotel, Of
fees, in business places and on the
street corners. Even at the supper ta-
bles the victory was the one topic of
conversation. What every one wanted
to know was how the trick was done.
But while the people about town were
talking the game over the Colby boys
who had stayed at home were waiting
with impatience for the evening train
to arrive. In the meantime the men
were at work with paper and paint and
brushes. while others were foraging for
stuff with which to build bonfire.

the station was deafening. Stately
seniors, dignified co-ords and the
brashiest of the freshmen were all
there to give the boys a royal welcome.
The procession was then formed and
marched to the houses of the different
professors. Transparencies lettered
with the score, cartoons of Bowdoin be-
fore and after the game, compliment
tary words to different players, especi-
ally Halves, who made the touchdown.
were features Of the parade.
Every member Of the faculty was
called out to make speech, and in
fact there was no one who did not join
with the students in celebrating the
victory. After the speeches, the line of
march down town was taken up. There
ever one tactitly acknowledged that the
town belonged to Colby. At the cor
ner of Common street a hollow square
was formed and Colby songs filled the
air. Even a medicant who had a most

The speech of Pres. Butler was one
that filled the hearts of the players

The Grave Of Lieut.. Col. W. S. Heath.

After 81 years have elapsed and
thousands of dollars have been spent
there is possibility that the grave of
Lieutenant Colonel W. S. Heath, for
whom the Grand Army post in this
city was named. may be found Should
it be discovered it would be through
a letter received by Postmaster VIII
lard M. Dunn.
The letter which Mr.. Dunn received
stated that the writer whose name is
withheld for various reasons, had, in
looking over his papers. discovered a
captains commission, making w. S.
Heath captain of Co. H, 3rd Maine
Regiment. The commission had been
found by another person, and had been
given to the writer of the letter. The
writer wished to inquire IL Mr. Dunn
knew whether or not there were any
relatives. that the commission might
be returned to them.
The letter has been sent to the only
living son of Lieut.. Col Heath, Sidney
Moore Heath, an attorney in the West,
that the commission may be sent to
him.
In the mean time the letter has
created an unusual interest among the
members of w. S. Heath Post. G. A.

At the Bricks" the boys let them

The play by which Colby won was one
OF the most sensational in which that

Bodwell had opened up a hole through
Atchley and 1t looked as though Bowdoin

Once around the end Hawes had but
two men in front of him. With Haggerty
as interference one of the men was left
behind and the other man was put out of
the play by Haggerty. That left a clear
field, and before B0wdoin was aware CT
what was going on Hawes was so far
down the field that 1t was impossible to
stop him.
During the rest of the game the ball
was in the center of the field, neither
team being able to land it nearer than So

My objection to this modus is that il
