Tie feelings of the Colby team are hard to | describe. They had no idea of playing I. hard game when they sauntered to | The field or of running up a big score | gainst their plrcky opponents. The temporary absence OF Palmer. Hetherington and Oliver. three Of their strong est men, made the prospect impossible. but the resulting sCo”t has provC,lcd remarks Of diS9uet and amusement about their own work ana admiration Tor the work of kent’S Hill, which gave the confidence of the team such Il trt.mendous shaking up. 1t is no more tnan inst to say that Colby would nave taken the necessary precautions to have had her team in its regular trim had she had any ides. OF hoN much strength she would have TO lay out to make q respectable SHOW ing and still enjoy til pleasure If a practice game. The first surprise. when Mant”r broke through the line for successive gains. aWoiie her To the fact that they were up against eXtraorC mary ma terill. but they had 10 thoughts Of any possible defeat. and, instead OF making the best of n .idiculous situation they were in a state Of apparent indincrthroI,yj1C,,t down to hard wo.k only when Col.,y’s gal was in danger.

Nc Nane was seen to emerge from the BOT tom of the mass with tie ball. captured On tumble, ana to proceed straiShtway in IN opposite direction for {, truclulOwr. There VAS some dispute about the time being legal, but the referee an nounced that the ball was still in plav while McNanc got possession of it, The opposition of this statement arose from Kent’s Hills disappointment in not being able to tie Colby. Her play ing. however. was really phenomenal and. no doubt the best fitting school game ever played on the Colby grid iron. The referee blew the whistle at 10 minutes past three. Kents Hill kicked off the ball flying to the 10 yard line. Colby advanced it to Keats Hills :1-yard line hut failing to make thcir distance in two downs, Newman punted the ball to the 52-yard line. kent’s Hill caush: the ball and adj Vanced it IS yards by breaking through the line and running around the ends.
