Waterville, Me, Oct. 3.-(SpeciaD.ing game Of football Saturday after noon on Alumni field by the score OF II to 3, Hebron scoring a goal from the field near the close of the first half. The game was played in a drizzling rain and several fumbles were made by each team on account of the Slip per ball. Nevertheless it was good game for the spectators to watch and Colby had to play straight football to win. Colby used the forward pass but few times and was not successful in gaining. Colby made no changes In her lineup until the middle Of the sec ond half and with the exception of her second touchdown worked hard during the game Hebron played a very strong game and showed up well for preparatory team. They made several substantial gains through Colbys line but were unable to gain around the ends. They gained on the forward pass and an on eide kick. Their punting at time was poor and one punt which was blocked resulted In a touchdown for Colby, Erwin securing the ball and taking it over the line. The most sensational play of the game was the touchdown made by WEIGH in the first half, when he took Hebron’s punt near Colbys five-yard line and ran the entire distance of the field for a touchdown. He was given excellent interference The summary: COLBY. HEBRON Mikelsky (Sharpe) le......re, Mclaughlin Neppei, ~ ,..;‘..’..;. ;.’.’.’r... III, Mcclure c.
