the story of Saturdays game on the
Whittier field. 1t waS< :, complete.
one-sided walkover and Bowdoin's
strong eleven rolled up the largest
score reported from any gridiron in
the country this fall 1t was a short
game, too. the halves being only - and
10 minutes. Not for second were the
visitors in il, ana after the first half
simply a question of endurance Of tho
field for touchdowns
Colby's line WAS like tissue paper. for
lis powerful opponents, ana on the
rare occasions when ii had the ball il
was actually forced back fox the loss
of more ground than il gained in rush
ing during the game. only once did il
gain its five yards in four downs. and
then only by the fraction OF an inch.
colby was hopeieSSiy outc!assed in all
respects Te begin with. several of
its men were in poor condition. but
had they been in the best OF condition
il would have made little difference.
Ii was a BoWdoin day and the Bow
dom team went in 10 win and 10 wipe
out the unpleasant memory OF last
years fiaSco OF 4 game. They played
with a dash and determination that
was irresistible and the higher the
score ran the higher they wanted il.

harder than when they began, and

Gregson, Hunt. Cloudnan. Marshall
and Dunlap al made splendid runs,
that time after time brought the
crow ded grandstand 10 It's feet with
Wild cheers. There were many spec
tacular runs. some behind as perfect
Interference as was ever seen here,
and some by remarkable dodging in
which half a dozen Colby tackles would
be evaded and passed.
At the opening OF the game Colby
kicked of, and in three PUSHES Bow

Than two minutes OF time. Then the
same thing was repeated over and over,
till most people lost count If III" score.
Once after the Kickoff Cloud!ad1 ran
20 yards on the frs rush for i touch
