husky fellows, came over on a special
train. accompanied by a large number
OF supporters. The greater size of the
BATES men and their good showing in
games they have played this fall made
many of the Colby supporters fear that
| they might walk off with the victory.
nut after few minutes of play it was

Captain Allen started the fun going
by kicking the pigskin down to Colby's
| 20yard line. where Levine was stand

got it into his hands he lost no time

made their distance. On the next line
up no gain was made, but this didn't
suit Watkins and when he got the ball

| had covered Is yards. A number of
short gains were here made through
the line principally by Levine and
Coombs Eut this wasn't getting along
fast enough. so Watkins was again
given the ball and this time ran until
he had placed it fairly behind the goal

high pitch. The ball had been in play
not quite four minutes. The goal was
