sionally in his wake, allowing him to
make the pace for three laps, without
attempting 10 take the lead from HIM.
Then Kiviat, who was in fourth po-
sition. made his bid. but he found him
self pocketed before he could pass the
leaders, and Baker. taking advantage
OF the chance, swung out wide Of the
field. and with sudden leap sprinted

SYRACUSE AND
COLGATE IN TIE
Neither Team Able to Score In
Fiercely Contested
Game,
uBy Telegraph 70 The rrfbune.I

Syracuse, Nov. 14.-Colgate UnIver-
sity football team held Syracuse TO
0 to 0 tie here by completely para
lying the Orange offence and showing
a remarkably versatile attack. Although
unable 70 score, Colgate was dangerous
several times during the engagement.
The Orange was too heavy to combat
the shifty aerial game of the visitors,
and numerous gains were credited 10
Colgate as result Of new open foot
ball.
The Syracuse line outweighed that of
the visitors by several pounds, but the
line charging of the Orange backs
proved futile, as il was necessary for
Wilkinson to kick almost invariably
after the third down. Rose alone was
able to gain, and he seldom failed to
gather in few yards as a result of
line plays. But for the work Of Rafter,
who time and again tackled Colgate
men after every other Syracusan had
missed. Syracuse would have been bad
ly beaten. Rafter, third string quar-
tcrback. was sent into the game late in
the final period.
Schlachter, a Bushwick High School
graduate, who is said 70 be the best
tackle ever seen on the Syracuse field,
was also a star. Despite his 235
pounds, he was often the first man
down the field under punts, and his
general line play was feature.
