Neither line seemed able 70 stop the
opposing backfeld. and frequent gains
Of from ten 20 fifteen yards were mace
on line plunges. First downs were ire

cpen football, except or two occasions,
when short forward passes were sue
cessfully made by New York CnNer-
sity.
The New York team used double snd
triple passes from regular formation

while the on-side kick play, The anne

from the bench.
Il was Unions ability TO add the
finishing wal.op that defeated the
oown-slate team. The ball was IN New
York Cnivers;ty's hands oftener and
for longer periods. but when Unions
goal was threatened her defence was
impreCnable. Throughout the game
GirIing had the best Of the punting
ard Union excelled New York Univer-
s.tv in running back punts.
The cloudy weather, which turned 70
rain during the game, did not deter
large crowd from watching the home
team defeat its old rivals. Seats and
standing room along the sides Of Alex
aader Field were at & premium, and
many sorcht refuge during the drizzle
on the veranda OF the new gymnasium.
Between the halves the student body,
led hy he college band, paraded.
Hokerk, Of Union, kicked off 10 start

q total OF nearly forty yards before
the Garnet braced.
Then Union held for downs, and on
the next play Rosecrans made ten
wards. Another line plunge by Ander-
son gained ten yards more. Then \. Y.

exchange Of punts left the ball on
Unions 4O-yard line at the end Of the
quarter, with y. Y. U. in possession.
Throughout the second quarter n.
Y. U. was on the offensive most of the
time. Two first downs put the ball on
Unions 10-yard line, but the Garnet
held and Rosecrsns kicked out of dan
ger. Once more, on series Of fake
kick formations and forward pass, y.
Y. y. advanced, but was penalized tif-
teen yards for holding.
Hokerk intercepted forward pass,
but was knocked out when tackled
Gardner took his place, Woman went
in for Gardner and Girling for Ander-

he middle Of the field till the end Of
The quarter.
In the second half Union once more
assumed the offensive. Girling made
consistent gains through the line, as
did Nudge and Rosecrsns. n. Y. T..
seemed unable 20 stop the terrific bat
tering. but penalties for off-side and
q costly tumble did the work. The
tide Of battle turned and Huntley dove
through Unions line twice for large
gains. A gradual advance brought the
ball 70 Unions 15-yard line just as the
whistle blew.
Union stiffened in the fourth quar-
ter and y. Y. L. resorted TO an on-side
kick. which Girling intercepted and
ran back twenty-five yards. Then be
