H. unexpected eouos "ASA A'S gnu
.,,ors won Z to 5 over Bowdoin,
...ditary rivals for many years.
-. brunswick collegians were out
.red in every department Of the
sme except punting. The aerial
S.,ck staged by the wearers of the
met was the most brilliant seen
[.re in several years.
THE winning punch was put over
Rates in the first five minutes of
E.v and the path to the touchdown
POS payed by Aldred's tumble of the
rs, kickoff and a long forward pass
,om Moulton to Doyle, which net
J, d x wards. Eight yards from Bow
oin's goal mark old reliable John
r,vs plunged through the left Gen.
x.r OF the White line. and dragging
trio of tacklers with him scored
\. last touchdown he will ever
rake for Bates in State champion
hin series or on Garcelon Field.
Davis graduates next year.
Standing out in bas-relief in the
lhaos of Bowdoin's general loose
nloy. AL Morrell's punting will go
own in history. as one of the most
|uperb exhibitions of kicking ever
Keen In the state Time after time
he tall halfback's towering hoists
ired clear over the heads Of the
Bates receivers and rolled many
tards. He placed his kicks too. with
he precision OF marksman, first
hn one side OF the field and then on
| he other as the positions OF the de-
Sersive side dictated. Morrell's tack
)ing was big factor in the second
Sry defense.
/ Giant Tootell. the Bowdoin
(ackln. and Joe Smith. the stubby
kuarterback. were other outstand-
| n- stars OF the White team, who
h the throos Of defeat played re-
karkahlo football. Tootell break
|ng through the Garnet line with
(forrcll's pun's. OUTRAGED his ends
% thc receiver many times. while
Emith tackled like a demon, and was
Iound nj the bottom of almost every
fe when a Bates line assault was
checked.
Smith Boots Field Goal
Smith saved Bowdoin the ignom-
my of a shut-out when dropping
back TO the Bates 2S-yard line in
he closing minute of the second
period he booted a perfect field goal
midway between the uprights. From
hat time on the battle waged from
md TO end of the field, but despite
empt to score through forward
asses, BowdOin was unable to cross
he Garnet goal line, and left the
ell a much battered team, as the
ellis OF Bates pcalcd out the poems
( victory from tho old college hall.
\ now star scintillatcd yesterday in
ogtc. the Garnet right end. who
tased tho ball like a hawk. lie
'cmcd to he present always ready to
'oop up tho pigsllin when g tumble
as made, and stopped lot of off
clc and end plays. Both Rowe and
arhcll gave the crack Bowdoin ends
ibhons and Hildrcth.a battle for honL
g. Gibbons showed himself again n
gh grade wingman. and spilled the
a'"s end runners often for no gains.
Tho real punch in the Garnet at
ck was the team work of Moulton
10 Bates quarterback and Davis, with
% latter hurting the forward pass
: aud the husky fulibacls in the role
receiver. Yards of easy ground
orc covered by this pair with per-
~ execution Of the aerial method of
,sauIt.
From tho point Of technique, as tho
iWus might say. Bates played al
ost fawless football. Moulton APP
lronily used excellent judgment in
'lccting his plays. and Kcmpton who
'ok his place when the stocky Au-
Urn hoy had battlcd himself to a
andstill and was badly used up by
le Bowdoin attack also proved a
orthy understudy. Moulton also
eyed his forward passes with bull.
I like accuracy and outgucsscd his
)poncnts In placing them, although
avis must be given large share of
edit for the success of the aerial
inc. as he speared the egg like a
ris Speaker or Ty Cobb in the out
3D.
On the contrary the Bowdoin re-
ivors not only jugglcd many passes,
II they had nc luck. Several times
'tes forwards and backs apparently
u set for the passes happened to be
sht In line. and these interruptions
oufed the White assault when the
arnet receivers logged them back
any yards towards the White goal !
