poorest showings made on the grid

sity team defeated the fighting West
brook Seminary eleven 1910 on the
Colby athletic field this afternoon.

teresting to watch.
Practically the varsity lineup faced
the down state prep school, young

aged to secure two touchdowns, both
on blocked kicks. The Blue and
Gray ran the pigskin down the field
IN series of line plays, practically
all of the gaining being done by the
backs, Millett and Carson. With
the ball on the five yard line and a
first down, Carson let the oval slip
from his hands and a wide awake
Westbrook lineman fell on it. In an
effort to place the ball out of danger,
WeStbrook punted. The powerful
Moynahan, however, broke through
the line and blocked the kick pref
tily, O'Donnell falling on the oval
behind the line.

lads, the ball going to the ten yard
line. O'DOnnell again made a great
tackle and held the man where he
caught the ball. Two line bucks
Melted the Westbrook team no gain
and they We're forced to punt hur-
riedly. The ball went nearly straight
up into the air and on landing rolled
over the goal line where the Colby
center again fell on it. Soule then
added an extra point by placing a
nice drop kick over the bar. Colby
again kicked off and the Seminary
lads tried in vain to make Roadway
through the line, the whistle ending
the attempt.
At the first of the second quarter,

seven yard loss. Westbrook again
punted and on the following play
Carson was thrown for a big loss.
One of Tarpey's poorly directed
passes fell into the arms of West

but the down state lads drew yell
of approval as Skillings hurled a
long pass good for % yards to Davis,
who just barely let it slide through
his hands. Tarpey took Westbrook's
punt but dropped it, recovering it

downed. Carson hit the line for sew

one by McGarry. Millett tore
through for Il. Carson. Millett and
Tarpey took the ball fifteen yards
before another Is yard penalty was
imposed on the local collegians. A
pass was broken up and the half
finished without any scoring.
The only sensational line buck of
the game was pulled off by McGarry

line for a gain of 40 yards. being
brought down from behind on the
five yard stripe. After two line
