...contest for the individual championship, open to members and substitutes of the competing teams will begin on Thursday, with an 18-hole qualifying round, in which sixteen men will qualify. The finals, at 36 holes, will be played on Saturday...
...second team played a fast game, and showed ability in handling punts. During the last half the ball was kept constantly in Exeter's territory by fast and aggressive playing. The feature of the contest was Gilder's difficult goal from the field late in the second half. For this goal he tried three times during the game, and once the ball missed the goal by glancing off the goal post.

Colby has a strong nine this year, having won 17 out of the 20 games played. Of the two games with Bowdoin, whom the University team recently defeated, 2 to 0, Colby won one by a score of 7 to 3, but lost the other on June 8, 0 to 3. The game that best shows the strength of the Colby...
