FALL FROM COLBY
WINNING BY 70
lSnecial to INennebec JournaD

WatofNlIlS, NON' VI llS wv
bucket was thrown aside here this
afternoon when Coburn trampled
over the highly touted Colby fresh
men and won the game on Libbeys
field 10. The score fails to indicate
the superior playing Of the prep
school eleven, hard luck robbing
them of at least two field goals and
one touchdown. Not once during the
entire four periods. did the colleg-
ians threaten the prep school goal
line. although Carlson almost broke
away for a clear field in the last
quarter after he had picked up
loose ball.
The freshmen team appeared to
be in the same condition as the var
sity of last Saturday as their many
plays and poppy playing was not to
be had. 1t was a far different team
than the one that faced Hebron, put
at the same time Coburn showed
more power than at any time TINS
year.. The Coburn backs gained
time after time either through the
line or around the ends, while Seek
ms was the only freshman who could
navigate the Coburn offense for a
gain. He was used the greater part
of the time, but as the game wore
on he wore out, and .Colby's only
advancing resort was AL in John-
son and Khoury were the most con-
sistent gamers on the prep school
team, the former tearing around the
ends for long gains. while Tom hit
the line plenty hard for more than
one first down.
Robbins, Matoskie, Averka, and
Lancaster were the outstanding stars
in the Coburn line, while each of
the other players turned in good
days work, all of which nodded in
to a victory. The work of the two
ends was the best seen on the Co
burn field for many a day, both
dumping the enemies for loses and
scooping up fumbled balls. Seekins
and Scott upheld the backfield duties
of the frosh in an excellent manner,
| while Tim Leary, a former Coburn
star, eXcelled in the line. Tim was
in on every play and most of the
time he got his man.
Coburn opened the game by scor-
| ing a touchdown in the first five
minutes of play.
Carlson came within two seconds
| of being a Colby hero. In the last
period, Coburn worked a line buck
play and all the backs tore through
| the line. On a bad pass from the
| center, johnson missed the ball and
| Carlson tore through and scooped
| it up. He was a bit slow in doing
| this, but started down the field with
| nothing but the goal posts in view.
| Matoskie had followed the ball
| through the play and by inches
| grabbed the Colby tackle, bringing
! him down and saving the game for
| the prep school team.
Although a beaten team, there
| were many feature plays made by
! the Colby club. Seekins gave a
wonderful exhibition of punting
sending the oval down the field for
! distances up TO 60 yards. Violette OF
7 Coburn also got away some long
kicks but he could not match with
the ability of the former NJ. c. L
