odds were against them. Despite a game

speedy Colgate quintet. who were fresh
from recent victories over Wesleyan and
Dartmouth. Three Freshmen are now
regulars and their inexperience retards
the efforts OF the older men.
The first half was all one way and tho
Brown supporters were offered little
chance to congratulate themselves or
their representatives. The local aggtega-

used as a last resort were all without re-
