C0LbY'S BACKS
SCORE ON THE
CRIMSON TEAM

Boston. Sept. 26.-Colby to it's great
delight scored on Harvard in the Grim
sons first game Saturday. The score
was Harvard 80, Colby 6, but in so much
as the Maine boys oesmirched the
Crimson line, and by no fluke at that,
they went home deliriously happy
Colby's score came in the fourth Pc
Rod when Harvard had a third string
team in. but it was gained by straight
rushing in manner that did great
credit to the star Colby backs Cawley
and SchuySter. At the beginning of
the last quarter Colby had the ball on
Harvard's As yard line, having blocked
a Harvard punt at the end of the third
period. Cawley in two rushes made
eight yards, then could not advance
and the Crimson got the ball on downs
on it's own 35 yard line. The Colby
linesmen so hurried Enwright that he
made another poor punt and Colby re-
covered it 40 yards away from the
Crimson goal. Cawley went back for
a punt. but shot a forward pass for 4
first down on the 80 yard line He fol-
lowed this up by circling his own left
end behind Perry ten yards more. Then
Schuyster in three line bucks put the
ball over the Crimson goal. One of
the plunges was over 10 yards.
This was the only real chance Colby
had to score. although Cawley and
Schuyster made their distance frequent
ly and two other Caw1ey forward pass
es brought gains Of 10 and - yards.
When the Harvard first team was in
it had little difficulty in scoring. Capt.
Mahan played only the first period and
part of the second and scored two
touchdowns on long runs. Perry was
about the only Colby man who could
stop him. Rollins got the third Grim
son score on end and line bucks from
Harvard's own 40 yard line.
A tumble by Cawley enabled the
Crimson to smash it's way % yards to
the line in the third period and En-
wright followed it up by long run
from the kick off which led to anoth-
err score, and this time Colby was
fooled by run from drop kick for
nation.
