FOOTBALL The team got off to a good start by winning its first game with Case High by 26-0. This game was not a league game, but Case High always gives us a good game. The next team we played was Hast Greenwich and we won tgain 18-0. The Dc l-a Salle game was a memorable game. It was the first time in the school's history that one of its teams played a floodlight game. The Colt team played its best football at that game and we won again 26-6. The next game was of no great importance for it was not a league game, but the Colt team did try hard and we heat Portsmouth 19-6. The next game proved that the Colt team could he beaten. Our neighbor, Barrington, came to Bristol and conquered the mighty Colt team. At the end of the 4th quarter, the score was 12-7, much to the regret of the Colt hoys. But Colt wasn’t down and out; not by any means. The next week saw Colt going to Burrillvilie and after a stiff battle came out victorious, 7-6. The spirit of the Colt team that day was unbreakable. The following game was a great disappointment. The small South Kingston team came to Bristol and tied the Colt team 7-7, to put Colt out of running for the championship. The following week, on Armistice Day. Colt played its friendly rival, Warren. On that day the new athletic field was to be dedicated and the whole towns of Bristol and Warren turned out for the annual game. Both teams were at their best and each was determined not to lose. In the last few minutes of play. Warren made :» touchdown and thus the game ended, Warren the victor 6-0; the first time Colt did not score in a game. Although we did not win the championship. we can say that we are the only team to beat the championship team, Burrillvilie. Lettermen— Joseph Aguiar, Louis Romano, Matthew Romano. Attilio Pansa.
