loss then by Enholme for two yard
loss. The Bates line seemed to
crumble before the Colby offensive
and time and again Bill Millett went
through the line for big gains. In
this quarter Mcdonald worked one
OF the prettest short passes seen this
year when he tossed the ball right
into Burckel's arms for a gain of 81
yards. That forward pass paved the
way to Colby's touchdown for 1t
brought the ball up to the Bates 20
yard strip where Millett in two rush
es made the 10 yard marker. The
quarter ended with the ball on the
three yard line.
Without doubt the game was the
cleanest seen on any New England
Uidiron this fall for throughout the
entire contest there were but two
penalties. Colby received q Is yard
setback for holding and Colby re-
fused to allow a five yard penalty on
Bates for off side. Although the Is
yard penalty made the Colby fans a
little dubious at the time coming Just
after Colby had started a march up
the field anG after McBay had gone
through the line for yrds neverthe-
less there is a possibility that this
was one of the determining factors
Of the Colby score. Just after the
penalty things looked still .blacker for
the blue and gray when Woodman
intercepted. a 30 yard pass but in
the next play Bates fumbled Mony-
han recovering, the ball within Strik-
ing distance of the goal. The ball
was fair in front of the goal posts
and the team lined up apparently for
dropkick but it proved to be fake
and McBay carried the oval for
short gain. Again the elevens lined
up with Colby in formation for a
drop kick This time the kick came.
Enholnie made q nice pass to Soule
standing on the 81 yard line. The big
Colby end stood for a moment and
not sound could be heard the en-
tire length of the field, then there
was thud as his foot struck the
ball fairl..- and the ball rose straight
and true between the goal posts and
fell to the ground 20 yards beyond.
The game was won but at the time
Bates felt still confident because of
her first touchdown.
Soule tried for another drop kick
in the third quarter but the ball went
wide. The exchanges of punts were
almost always in Colby's favor for
even when Bill Millett's boot did not
send the oval quite as far as Itut-
sky's any loss was made up by the
fact that some of the Colby linemen
always broke through and tackled
the Bates man receiving the ball In
his tracks while the Colby men re-
eeiving punts were always able to
run back from 10 to 20 yards.
Milletts punting was a feature OF
the game. One punt in particular
attracted attention. Colby was in
Bates territory on the fourth down
and Bill lifted the ball for what
looked like a poor kick. The ball
wabbled and twisted toward the Ba-
les goal line but struck the line just
Two Yards from the line and rolled
