COLGATE scAREe YALE
Blue Eleven Has Close Call From De-
 feat-acore 2 to 8.


 the Yale eleven came back in the sec ond half and won by to 8.
 s Harry Le Gore actually scored those seven points. but the direct factor was the cratic bunting of Hubben, for Colgate. Kicking from behind his own goal line, toward the end of the third a period Hubbell caught the ball at a bad angle and booted 1t out of bounds. { His anxiety to avoid the two Yale ends, who were sweeping through up1 1 on him, caused him to swerve as he kicked.
 Smith, of Yale. tore through Col gates. left tackle for three yards. A double pass and line buck netted noth- . ing. Then Braden, the human batter ing ram of the second string backs, went in to replace Hutchinson at full. He hurled himself against the Colgate centre and smashed through by main strength for three yards just as the whistle blew for the end of the third period
 The fourth period opened with the ball in Yale's possession on the Col gate 11-yard line. and the Yale con- tingent, which had shown some signs of depression during the first half, became decidedly vociferous. Le Gore and Braden smashed their way to the Colgate Award line, where the ball re- posed for the fourth down and three yards to gain
 By this time the Colgate line seem ed airtight, and Yale decided to un- cover a little strategy. The Blue line shifted and the red line, prepared to resist another smash at the centre. Wavered.
 Le Gore skirted Co1gate's end and stood over the goal line as Neville shot him perfect forward pass. With the ball tucked under his arm Le Gore lodged to a point directly behind the goal posts. He kicked the goal a mo- ment later.
 Colgate scored it's three points shortly after the start of the second period through goal from place. ment, artistically achieved ny West from the 23-yard line. Spencer held the ball while the Colgate line repell- ed the rush of the blue skirmishers.
 This data accounts in more or less accurate fashion for the actual scoring, but it by no means indicates how the game looked to, a neutral spectator. In that first half the Col gate players, in their red jerseys, looked distressingly like the Harvard team from the observation towers of the bowl. They added to this distress ing illusion by playing as Harvard seemed to play against Yale at their last meeting.
 In the first period especially did ganization. The Red Jerseys swarmed through the Blue ones. Their inter- ference was perfect. They gained | nearly eighty yards in a direct sue cession of rushes, and they nad the i ball so close to the goal line that the | with meanings and lamentations. To the sons of Eli and their sup porters that period was an uncanny I visions of what had happened at Sol l diers' Field last year. Red Jerseys l swarming through the Blue in perfect 1 formation and in irresistible attack. The | only time that this ominouc vision was cleared wS when Yale had the 1 ball for few brief moments and Lo | Gore, from a kick formation, shot | through the centre and ran for twen- ] ty yards. brushing aside five of the 1 Red Jerseys as he turned and twisted. l Otherwise it was a melancholy ses- sion for Yale. It was I-e Gore who i made the only first down for the Blue l in that opening period, while the Col 1 gate team was working the ball ito | the Ya ale goal line with precision aiid i force. %l. " 1 Again in the second period the Red | Jerseys were swarming over the Blue. ! They. found holes in the tackles. They shot through the Yale guards and they | circled the Yale ends with the pre- ] cision of a squad of red hussars on | drill. But the referee began to pen alize them for holding and for being | offside.
 In all Colgate wa5 penalized some l thing like 80 yards in the one per- iod. Yet the Red Jerseys continued to | swarm through the Blue and Colgate | continued to advance.
 l It was HubbelI who brought the ball mot position where it could be kicked from placement. and he did it with l the longest and most spectacular run of the day. The Colgate left half- back skirted Yale's left end from 1 close to midfield for B yards. The Red jerseyed interference took care of the Blue line. It smothered it and Hubbell forged ahead until it seemed that he would clear the last barrier and go through for a touchdown. Two line bucks advanced the ball four yards, but the Yale line seemed to be taking a brace, and the kick from placement was tried for the first score of the game. At this stage of the proceedings it seemed as though the bulldog must be quite as sick as he was when he met Colgate last year and when Yale decided to change
 coaches in the middle of the season.
