Waterville, Maine, Oct. 31.-The
day had turned to dusk and all the
world grew dark. Dark also the
championship hopes of the Blue and
Gray warriors of Waterville. The
winged steed of Colby had been
stopped on it's way to the land of
realized hopes. Stubborn and un-
yielding to the last breath but over
come by the fierceness of the attack
of the great Black Bear, the White
Mule was forced to postpone Its
journey to the Land of Champion
ships for another year

swept aside by the herceness OF

sive, that it did at Brunswick last
Saturday. Il was in that period tnat
Colby's second string backfield under
the direction of Swede Erickson, ran
rough shod over the team which Will
undoubtedly again take the chan-
pionship back to Orono. rogers,
Colby second string fullback, inquired
in every play during the march
which resulted in a score and proved
to be the outstanding Colby back OF
the day.
The first period opened with Maine
kicking to the Waterville team.
O'Donnsll received and carried to his
own thirty yard line. Johnson was
forced toN kick and Maine gained
possession of the ball with sixty
yards to go for score. but they
were forced to boot and oJhnson
was stopped in mid-field, where he
returned the compliment. An almost
even battle with Maine getting the
better of the yardage occupied the
remainder of the first quarter.
In the second period the Maine
backs, aided by the good work of
Captain Fraser, walked down the
field and pushed the ball over. In
this march the work Of CasSista,
Peakes, and Barrows with Sylvester
working also, resulted in consistent
advances and the final score of that
half. The defensive work of Drum
mond, Peacock. and O'Donnell with
Keith also playing spectacular
game were the features of the de-
fensive work during that drive.
When the second half started the
Colby crew took a new lease of life.
From mid-f1eld they pushed the ball
through the heavier Maine line and
due to the work of the center and
guards: O'Donnell, Peacock, and
Cowing; together with the spectacu-
lar line plunging of Rogers, substi-
tute fullback, made their only score
of the game. Mathers was rushed
in to kick the point but was unsuc-
cessful.
The Orono team came back and
on the kickoff ran the ball back
thirty yards when Barrows and
Peakes figured in a latera! pass. The
rest of the period was a battle.
When the last Is minute allotment
started the Waterville men realized
that they must take chances if they
wished to sore. 1t was here that the
passing game of the Colby team went
up in. the air and presented Maine
with three touchdowns.
The whole Maine team went bet
ter than the Colby men except for
individual players who would be ex-
ception5 in any company. The Oro-
no men outplayed the Waterville
team in all except the third period
and the way the two teams went to-
day the victory rightfull ybelongs in
Orono. Colby. however. fought val
iantly and would not admit defeat
until the whistle had blown.
The stars for the winning team
were Newhall, Fraser, Lamereau and
Peakes, with Cassasta doing some
exceedingly fine work. The Colby
team needed a few more like O'Don-
nell, Peacock, Potter. Rogers and
Drummond. The summary:
