Was good game to watch although
rather one sided. The players were
about equal in size. although perhaps
Colby had little advantage in this re-
spect The visitors We're clearly out
claSsed and could do morning. in the
first half. But in the second half they
took gritty brace and did much bet
ter work.
The first time the visitors got the ball
thcy made some gains. But Colby soon
located the style of play and after
wards was prepared for nearly every
tactic. The feature OF Colby's PLAYING
was her trick plays. These as Il whole
went Very smoothly and We're almost
uniformly successful. once or twice
they Were botched, but Colby herself
was at fault. The visitors were kept
guessing most of the time ana must
have wondered how many more Colby
had up her sleeve The double pass
is by far the prettiest of any Of the
plays and went very smoothly Satur-
lay Good gains We're made with its
various forms and the visitors seemed
unable to work out a good defense for
1t. Keen starred III this and made
some beautiful passes. He also did fine
work in bucking the line and was good
for his distance whenever given the bali
with one exception.
This exception was the best work
done by the visitors in the game. The
ball was very near their goal and it
was given TO Keen to carry over. But
the visitors managed to locate the play
and bunch into it. taking Keen COM
pletely off his feet and carrying him
back into the field after he had crossed
the line
The feature of the game was the fine
run made by Palmer. New Hampshire
had the ball and decided to punt. She
was well down towards her goal and
got the punt off all right. The ball fell
to Palmer, and he started down the
field with it. 1t was not Il clean run
for he had the whole opposing team
scattered in front Of him. But he did
some remarkably fine lodging and with
the good interference formed for him
carried the ball 45 yards for a touch
down. This was one Of the finest plays
Of the game.
During the second half Colby punted
quite a bit and did it we'll. Saunders
doing the kicking H. made 40 yards
on one punt. New Hampshire also
tried this tactic but failed most of
the time Few of her punts could be
called successful. She only had the ball
twice in the first half ana i'll the sec
ond only took it on runts. 1t was in
her territory almost all the time.
New Hampshire took the west goal
ana Colby kicked off. The ball was
fulnblcd on the catch and was doWned
on the 30yard line. But il was New
Hampshire's ball and she proceeded 10
walk into Colby's line. She made a few
short steady gains. mostly through the
line. But she fumbled, the ball went
into the air above the heap and CoWing
took it on the fly. This was pretty
catch and gave Colby the ball. Then
she began to walk it down the field.
Her gains were short and steady and
made mostly by straight foot ball,
Dudley at length went around the end
for p yards and a touch down after
~ minutes play. Keen kicked the goal

New Hampshire kicked off and Keen

hotter and Colby wasn't satisfied any
more with short steady gains. Keen
took The ball about % yards after the
catch and Saunders took it for another
good run. Then it was Palmefs turn
and he advanced it 70 yards. The spec
ial car carrying the band OF the

entrance to the field about this time
and gave the boys a tune that set them
on their toes. But music eNldehtis
didn't agree with Colby'S style of play
and she fumbled. giving New Hainp-
shire the ball But Keen broke through
her line on the next play ana the pan
went back to Colby while the band
