Mckinley at Orono and Bowdoin Holds
Harvard Eleven Down to IL Points.

Waterville, Me, Oct. 3.-(SpeciaD.-
ing game Of football Saturday after
noon on Alumni field by the score OF
II to 3, Hebron scoring a goal from the
field near the close of the first half.
The game was played in a drizzling
rain and several fumbles were made
by each team on account of the Slip
per ball. Nevertheless it was good
game for the spectators to watch and
Colby had to play straight football to
win. Colby used the forward pass but
few times and was not successful in
gaining. Colby made no changes In
her lineup until the middle Of the sec
ond half and with the exception of her
second touchdown worked hard during
the game
Hebron played a very strong game
and showed up well for preparatory
team. They made several substantial
gains through Colbys line but were
unable to gain around the ends. They
gained on the forward pass and an on
eide kick. Their punting at time was
poor and one punt which was blocked
resulted In a touchdown for Colby,
Erwin securing the ball and taking it
over the line.
The most sensational play of the
game was the touchdown made by
WEIGH in the first half, when he took
Hebron's punt near Colbys five-yard
line and ran the entire distance of the
field for a touchdown. He was given
excellent interference The summary:

asked, "who suggested that ask

"Yes. sir" replied the young
man, simply. 1T was Mary's
