Cook Scores First Touch
down of Season Against
West Point by End Run.

fBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune
West Point Nov. 1s.-The clean slate that
the Army had hopes of carrying through
this season was again spoiled to-day by
the fleet little backs of the Colgate team,
who tore around the Army TANKS for long
gains and finally went sailing across the
Army stronghold for the first touchdown
that has been scored against the Army
team. The final score was Army II, and
Colgate, 6.
The upstate boys put up an article of foot
ball that took all the Army had To come
ont victorious. The interference Of the
visiting team was good. and behind 1t
Huntington and Cook did some nice run
ming around the Army ends, which they
boxed time and again.
The Army tackles, too were not impreg-
nable, and Colgate found openings through
which they gained ground. Huntington
was the one man on the Colgate
team that kept the soldiers rooters I'M
easy, and when the little blonde quarter
back from upstate started back with a
punt It required the concentrated attention
of the entire Army team TO stop him.
Milburn was ground gamer for the
Army. and his lodging through a broken
field gave the Army much ground. On the
defence Hoge doomed up bright at end
after ne had relieved Wood
The soldiers used the forward pass a
number of times, and their first touchdown
came after a forward pass had advanced
them twenty yards to the visitors 15-yard

il was really expected that State would
win the game by small score, and the
excellent showing Of the patched up team
caused much satisfaction. The ground was
sloppy after an all-night rain and Miller,
the fast and clever dodger who plays
quarterback for state, and who has got
away with long runs against every team
this year. knocked off runs up TO seventy
five yards.
At the close OF the first period State had
the ball three yards from the Nays goal

would certainly score at the opening of
the second quarter. However. a stand was
made. the ball recovered on downs. and
Collins kicked out of danger. At no other

race and covered the course of nearly four
miles i'm 1912. He had an easy time all the
way and led from the start. He was the
first to dart across the mud puddles on
South Field. where the start was held, and
from the time he emerged ON the road and
headed for Riverside Drive his lead was
never in danger. He raced down to 9Ith
street and back and was finishing fun

The players Of Boys High stood him on

Eastern Park. Brooklyn. where the game
was played, and ground the dirt into Du
Trembly until at the end OF the game he
appeared to be solid clay.
Through three periods and the greater
portion of the fourth Boys High by hard

of shifty plays. in which Tiffany, the quar-
terback. and Steiglitz. the left halfback
were always the leaders, managed to hold
Poly Prep to no score. Time after time
Poly Prep" carried the ball right up to
the Boys High goal. And then they bum

Finally Du Trembly. by his imploring.

and started like a deer to circle the left

was falling Du Trembly broke loose and

before Tiffany threw him i'm his tracks
Another swapping Of the ball. and 1T was
placed before the Boys High posts. The
gritty quarterback, with the wind favoring
him. made his kick from that point and
scored the only tally Of the game.

The first period was largely devoted 20 an
exchange of punts at which ConroY. OF

suit Poly" got the ball directly in front
of BOYS High goal. II seemed most
promising chance. but the kick was splen-
didlv blocked. and the first half ended with
no score.
As the teams lined up for the final quar-
ter they looked like a lot OF miners, for
each had ploughed mp the mud and dirt OF
the sodden field. Forward passes followed
thick and fast until Steiglitz intercepted a
Poly" toss and ran the ball TO within
thirty yards of "Poly's' goal Then the
Poly" boys braced BY line plunges the
ball was worked TO midfeh. and from
there Du Trembly made the winning run
