...take the field humiliated the varsity, 42 to 14 in 1956. The Bulldogs became Ivy champions, and that season scored 40 points against Penn, 42 against Princeton, and 42 aginst Harvard in their last three games. The unstoppable backfield of Dean Loucks, Dennis McGill, Al Ward, and Steve Ackerman ran wild over a Crimson defense that did well to hold the final count below...

Houghton tallied unassisted shortly thereafter, and the Colby six continued to lengthen its margin. The second line of Ron Ryan, who scored twice, Bob Dietter, and Jim Ackerman accounted for four of Colby's last five goals...
