Colt’s goal line was crossed only once during the entire season, but this proved to be fatal for the “Colts”. Colt started its season with a bang, on its home field. Friday, October 2, when it trounced East Greenwich 19-0. Its next victory was an easy one over Country Day 20-0. Central Falls, the “iron men” that fell down, were Colt’s next victim. 12-0, in a spectacular flood-light game. 31

Colt’s practice, before the season opened, was hampered greatly. The schedule opened on Friday. April 26. at X. Providence. Lagging behind. Colt, after an eighth inning rally, won the game, 5-2. Having no trouble with Barrington. Colt defeated them. 17-2. Coventry offered little opposition but was defeated by a score of 11-4. Waking up too late in the game, Colt was unable to overtake Warren’s lead and therefore suffered its first defeat at the hands of last year’s State Champions. 8-2. Due to costly errors and a lack of hitting, Colt lost its second game in a row to Burrillville, 6-0. Back in old form again. Colt set back X. Kingstown, 6-2. To date we are tied with our county rival. Warren, for first place. Date Opponent Colt Opp. Friday, April 26 at X.

Strong opposition was encountered when Colt met its old county rival, Barrington. For the first time in several years, Barrington was the losing team with a score of 7 to 0 against them. On a cloudy Saturday, Colt traveled to Burrillville for its only defeat which cost Colt the Class C Championship. The ball which was about to go in the end-zone was suddenly snatched by a Burrillville player, who raced along the sideline untouched for the first score of the game. Their try for the extra point was good and the score was 7-0 against Colt. Determined to win the game, Colt, after a long drive up the field scored its touchdown, but its attempt to tie the game failed and the game ended a little later with the score 7-6. Not discouraged by this defeat and hoping for the best. Colt set back South Kingstown 14-0. On Armistice Day. the two old rivals. Colt and Warren, clashed and for the second time in as many years. Colt emerged the victor. On the following Saturday. Colt ended its glorious season at Dc La Salle, beating them 12-0. For the first time in some years, Colt won the Bristol County Championship.
