Springfield Wins
Over Colby II to %


Especially. Springfield College opened
its gridiron campaign this morning at
the Eastern States Exposition
Grounds with Colby. Two .ouch-
downs fell to the lot of Coach Hick-
ox's new team and two others were
in their grasp when fumbles nullified
two consistent marches down the
field for what looked like sure scores.
SO far as adding points from
touchdowns. the new order of things
developed the interesting fact that
an opposing team has all the chance
in the world OF holding down a rivals
score.
Springfield was unable 10 score an
added point from scrimmagc. al
though it had two tries. The score
of II to 0 does not establish the
superiority that Springfield had over
the Maine team. Except for a irief
time in the second period and another
spell in the third. Colby at no time
showed n consistent attack.
Playing conditions were terrible
and Springfield rcsorted 10 frequent
substitutions. The intense heat wore
down the players and forced the Of
ticials to shorten thn time for the
third and fourth periods.
Civillctto. the Springfield captain.
was by far the most effective ground
gamer on the field. although some
sensational gains were turned in by
Siblcy and Quimby. Goodrich. Nc
Bay. and Millettc proved the sack
field combination that Colby had.
but the line could do little vita the
smashing tactics of the Springfield
forwards.
Springfield kicked of. and for the
first few moments OF play neither
team did much except exchange
kicks. SO t;iick was the dust on the
playing field that II was difficult to
distinguish the players when they
piled up in scrimmage.
Quimby and Goodrich did tho kick
Ing, Gut there was no appreciable
differences in the exchanges until
Springfield started running attack
toward the Colby goal. Quimby.
Civillctto. Sillcy. and Riddick were
used in succession with telling re-
suits. Civillet;o made it first down for
Springfield on the G0-yard line.
Three more plunECs with backs al
tcrnating in carrying the ball found
Sibley making the second first down
for Springfield. Civilletto tore through
for six yards Sibley was held for no
gain, and then Civilletto was called
upon again, this time carving the
third first down.
CiNillctto, as is the honor OF most
captains. was asked To carry. the
ball over for thc first Springfield
touchdown OF the season. lie tore
through the right side of the Colby
line for the score. In the scrimmaEe
formation which followed. in an at
tempt to score an added point Sib-
leys gick sailed under tho bar and
Springfcld's scoring was thus limit
ed to six points.
An exchange of punts marked the
opening of the final quarter. which
had been cut 10 10 minutes. and Nc
Bray fumbled Springfield recovering.
Civilletto, on the first charge. made
it first down on Colby's 10-yard line.
Sibley was pushed through tn the
four yard line on the next play, the
Springfield forwards opening up big
hole in the left side Of the line. Civil
lctto made it first down ON Colby's
one yard line. Sibley gained n foot
and then Civilletto carried the ball
across the line for the second SPRING
field touchdown of the game.
Quimby elected To try for the extra
point from scrimmage. but Colby
blocked the kick again, and SPRING
field accepted total Of u points.
