COLBY COLLEGE
BATES AND COLBY
STRUGGLE TO
n TO z SCORE

I III 1 OOOhL
! The Maine series started here Sat-
ruday when the Bates-Colby game
came to an end in a ~ tie. Colby
got her touchdown in the second
period when a forward pass, Worae
to Dunnack. put the ball within
striking distance of the goal line and
then Millett carried the ball over.
Enholm kicked the goal. Bates
! touchdown came in the third quarter
when Dunnack in attempting an end
run was tackled and the ball bound
ed from his grasp, scooped up by
Price who ran it back 45 yards for a
touchdown.
There were approximately 1900
people at the game OF which about
/ 500 were Colby students and 800
I from Bates. The enthusiasm ran
high all through the game and on
both sides the cheers rang Justify,
rising now and then when some one
made a thrilling play. The Colby
band was present and played the
Colby songs throughout the game.
Bates resorted to- the overhead
game altogether after the first half
for il could do hardly a thing by
| bucking the line. This bewildered the
i Colby men at times and they had
hard time solving the puzzle. All
! through the first half Colby buckcd
| the line almost constantly and made
very good Roadway but in the second
! half they too played the forward
! game but with not such good results
as its opponents. The kickers,
Young and Enholm for Colby and
| Gorrley for Bates divided the hon
ors equally, each averaging about so
! yards to the kick.
The dope on the teams Is figured
on this way. The first quarter was
about half and half between the two
/ teams. The second quarter was Col
! by's and the third quarter was Col
| bys, up to the time that Bates
! scored. The first half of the last
quarter was Bates and the last was
Colby's. The two teams average
about equal, although in straight
football Colby excelled. The Bates
team vas supposed to be lighter than
Colby's but with one or two excep-
+ tons they were as heavy if not
! heavier than the Colby team. Colbv's
line average lis and the backfeld
1o3.
