Especial TO Kennebec Journan

NdlefNliiS. oct. 1.-THE varsity
eleven turned the tables this after
noon on the Colby freshmen and
defeated them 900 in a scrimmage
game lasting a little over half an
hour on Seavern's field. With the
ground dry and the ball easier TO
handle. the varsity ripped open the
yearling line time an dagain for first
downs on one and two attempts. AZ
ter the Blue and Gray varsity eleven
had scored twice. practically a new
team was sent in against a complete
change in lineup III the freshman.
eleven and managed to score. once
more before the scrimmage was
called Off on account of darkness.
The scrimmaee was ar harder
than the one which the two teams
played yesterday and the freshmen
were at a disadvantage as the heavy
and fast variety backs could gain
ground on the dry soil and the alb
sence of frequent tumbles helped
them along. One of the prettiest eX-
hibitions ol broken field running was
given this afternoon by Louis Nc.
' Fay who is one OF Coach Roundys
promising candidates for a halfback
position. McEay tore off about ~
yards before he was run offside
! through the entire Ncarlins back
| field. Carson also pulled OFF good
! play in scoring the second counter
| for the yearlinS when he went
, through hole in the yearling line
. for 20 yards.
| Millett was in his first action in a
number of weeks this afternoon as
! fullback on the varsity eleven and
| did some excellent work in gaining
ground. Twice during the scrim-
! mage he looked like the old Millett
| OF last year who fought and plowed
! through the opposing line for gain
: after gain. Millett scored the first
! touchdown about five minutes after
play was called in the first of the
I game.
| The. scrimmage this afternoon was
! entirely offensive for the varsity, as
yesterday it was defensive. Coach
Roundy had MACPHERSON and Lor-
ensky Try out number OF new plays
which he had been drilling the var
| sity on for the last week and most
of them worked very well. Some
of the backfield work was ragged as
/; the plays have lot been entirely
| familiarized by the men but a great
| improvement was noted in the gen
eral work OF the varsity.
| Early i'll the afternoon Coach
| Roundy again took q number of men
! individually and gave them some
hard work in line plays and other
! fundamentals which he is determin
cd that they shall master before the
! ,,nIl n rnn
! Moynahan took a number of the
| iinemen and gave them n fast and
| hard session on tackling the dummy
fer the better part of half an hour
and then ran team L through some
, signal work before the scrimmage
game was called with the freshmen.
A number of the cripples reported
| this afternoon for 4 workout and al
though they did not get into the

| ficient work to keep them in good
