greatest defeats Saturday Afternoon
ever handed to any Maine College il
a championship fight when they rush
ed the Bates team up and dow
Alumni field until they rolled up tbs
enormous score of 81 to 0. After this
Varsity had put the game on ice ane
bewildered the Bates team the sec
ond, third and in fact the whole
squad was sent in by Coach Fuller
however the onslaught did not seem
to cease even when the entire team
consisted of substitutes as was the
case in the third period.
Coach Green of the Bates team
planned that the heavy Colby men
would be unable to follow the open
game, so he drilled his men to rely
wholly on the forward pass, but great
was his disappointment when from
the sidelines he saw the Colby backs
and ends come across with the unex-
pected and time after time pull off
long gains by the forward passes or
in other words show the Garnet
players UP at their own game.
At no time during the contest did
the Lewiston eleven greatly endan-
ger the champions goal. Twice they
tried a goal from the field only to
be broken up by the blue and gray
linemen who broke through their OPP
ponents' weak and shattered line al
most at will.
The speed of Lowney, Colby's half
no N tho pafaS MIA "
ers. HIS speed on the end runs net
ted the greatest gains of the day for
the Colby team. He also showed his
ability when after receiving the ball
on the kick off he ran through the
entire Bates team carrying the bail
the length Of the field for touch
down.
Colby did not rely wholly on open
work, but was polished in every de-
partment. and after they had got the
garnet team accustomed to the for
ward passes, the wonderful Colby
captain would plough through the
holes opened by the giant linesmen
for great gains.
Whenever quarterback Allie Fraser
decided to give his brother breath
ing spell he was never at loss as to
what signal he should give. but would
pass the pigsl<in to Eddie Cauley. who
time after time repeated the rushes
that brought glory to the Colby team
and disgrace to the garnet defenders
The game was rough one from
the start, each team was penalized
heavily. Colby received the maximum
of these penalties, losing twice the
distance of the field. In the early
part of the game De Viewer, Bates
fullback. was retired from the game
for Illegally displacing three of La
souer's front teeth.
The contest was spectacular in the
extreme from a Colby standpoint and
formed a perfect exit from Maine COL
lege football for the six Seniors on
the Colby team.
During the last few minutes of play
Coach Fuller rushed subs into the
game in such quick order that the
officials found 1t necessary to penal
ize the Colby team half the distance
to the goal line for having IL men on
the field. The game:
Bates kicked off to Colby, who de-
Tended the west goal and inside of
the first eight minutes of play the Col
by backs, by a series of line plunges
mixed with a number of prominent
end runs carried the ball over the
line for the first tally of the game.
Fraser missed the goal Score: Colby
6. Bates 0.
Once again Colby received the ball
and again Captain Fraser and his
teammates resumed their march up
the field, carrying the Bates opposition
in advance of them. AS they neared
the Garnet line the Bates line stiffen-
ed and the Colby team was forced to
punt. Bates tried d combination of
double forward passes which were
easily solved and intercepted by their
opponents, who sent Fraser over for
the second score Of the game. This
time Captain Frasers toe proved fully
efficient and the goal was kicked by
a safe margin. Score: Colby 10,
Bates 0.
At this period of the game a num-
Der of fresh substitutes We're sent in
to strengthen the line and this added
strength made It possible for the Bates
backs to make first downs. Again the
Garnet wearers attempted the forward
pass, but were forced to witness a
wonderful pass from Cawley to Low
ney, who. after long run, placed the
pigskin behind the line for the third
score. The goal was missed. Score:
Colby 10, Bates 0.
Hardly before the Bates team real
lied it Fraser heaved another for
ward pass TO Crossman, who carried
the ball over for the next touchdown.
The goal was kicked. making the
score: Colby rs. Bates 0.

and made long ana spectacular run
through the broken field, bringing the

ser left the game at this period. Royal
added one more point by making the
kick successful. Score: Colby 33,
Bates 0.
