letic entertainment in the Colby gymna-

was hot and clean. The college team was
in splendid form and never played faster
ball. This was too much for the visitors
and a big score was piled up on them.
they played a fine game all through but
Colby's mood was enough to defeat a
much stronger team. Some handsome
goals were thrown by the collegians, who
seemed at times to pull the ball into the
basket with string. The game was
very free from fouling and was a fine
one to watch.
The Juniors and Seniors had red hot
contest which ended in tie-10 to 1850

The Juniors succeeded in getting the odd
basket first and won.
The boxing bout between Messrs. Lin

was well pleased
