Both sides showed weakness in their lines, and several opportunities for running up the score. Reid, Baldwin and Skelly of Holy Cross and Dudley and Rice of Colby, made a splendid showing. and several OF the Holy Cross substitutes did much better work than was expected. II Baldwin had been Kept In the game i’ll the second haf, Holy Cross would have run up larger score. Baldwin was in excellent condition, and the spectators could not understand why he was taken out. as he was uninjured. He is one of the best halfbacks Holy Cross has ever turned out. The team work of the home team was poor and there was considerable fumbiing on its part in the first half. Reid who played on the Nillanova eleven, last season, has developed into wonderful full back and a hrst-class punter. In the first half a Colby KICK was blocked by Baldwin.
