COLBY CAPTURES
u. OF M. BANNER

The colors of the enemy are con-
sidered the legitimate spoiis of war.
And so thought the Colby boys, vic
tors in the football of Saturday last
against Maine. And as a result the
big marching banner of the Maine
boys, which was carried through the
streets SO proudly last Saturday
morning, is now in the hands of the
Colby boys and SO quiet has the af
fair been kept, that but a few even
os the victorious college men, know
that the banner is closely guarded
somewhere within the college pre-
cinctS.
1t was done so easily that It hard
~ seems that it really has been done.
At the close of the game, the Colby
boys did the snake dance down
through Main street and the Maine
boys went to the Elmwood hotel for
supper. All unsuspecting they rolled
up the banner and placed it in the
lobby of the hotel and left it I'M
guarded. Two Colby boys passing
that way quietly possessed them
selves OF the banner and carried it
off unconcernedly right under the
noses of the Maine men. 1t was
done so quietly that even the Maine
men did not realize that their pre-
cious banner was not with them I'M
Til they returned to Bangor and took
account of stock. Then they began
to telephone to Watervile to try to
locate it. The Colby men have it and
they will probably put up stiff
fight before they will relinquish such
a precious possession
