Colgate men had feared that after the
defeat OF Syracuse in the game that
usually ends the Colgate season Bank
hart's team would let up and prove a
victim OF Browns prowess. But the
shoe was on the other foot. Brown
seemed to he stale and suffered an anti
climax. while Colgate reached the height
Of its form. Brown followers could
hardly believe It was their old team out
there taking the beating OF Its life.
Colgate Well Balanced.
Colgate had everything a hrst class
eleven should possess. The interference
was superb. the tackling hard and sure.
In punting Hubbell did wonders with the
heavy ball. sometimes getting OF kicks
for nifty yards. Hillhouse OF Brown was
short and was slow In getting his kicks
AVA This fact. combined with the ina
bility Of the Brown line to hold the Ma
Don. CAV Hillhouse a very busy day. and
he was knocked out several times.
Not In many years has a game been
played under such wretched weather
conditions. II had nined during the
night. but this morning 1t cleared, Just
before gamet ime--the contest was started
Mt half past 1.-THE rain again came
down. During the first half 1t was only
a sprinkle. tut in the Second half It
developed into n deluge that sent a good

md comfort. The stands were uncovered.
While there had been applications for
$4,000 seats the stand could not &C.
commodate more than 5000.
West kicked off for Colgate to Pollard.
Brown tried several smashes, but soon
found hat it was facing IA stonewall. and
Hillhouse punted. Anderson ran the ball
back fifteen yards to Colgate's 40 yard
line. whence Colgate started its advance
of sixty yards for the first touchdown.
Spencer gave Brown a foretaste OF the
bitter things to come when he smashed
through right tackle for seven yards. He
followed with a plunge through the same
place for "A first down. Gill. TOO. got
two yards and Hubbell one, Then
Anderson opened up with his first for
ward pass to Castellanos for nine yards,
and It was again first down on the
Bears 33 yard mark. The Bear was on
his launches and the game was rather
young.
Brown slowly Forced Back.
With the aid OF sterling interference
Anderson ran eleven yards to Brown
90 yard station. Gillo plunged through
right tackle for four yards. and then
Clio fumbled. but the ubiquitous Ander'
son was right on top Of the oval. A Ions
forward pass from Anderson to Neilsor
failed. but Brown lost fifteen yards fol-
roughing ths receiver. and the Maroon
roared on the Bears 4 yard mark.
For the first time this season Brow
was being forced back inside it's . yart

HubbeIl Also stands Out.
Hubbe,l proved a powerful and versa
tile back. lie accounted for Cola ate's
touchdown In the third period. when he
cashed twenty-five yards around left
end.
Hubbell was the last of three backs to
handle the ball. for Anderson passed 1t
TO Spencer. who in turn threw II to Hub
bell. With the aid Of the greatest Inter-
ference we have seen this season Hub
bell scooted around the wing ana planted
the oval behind the goal line.
Colgate's touchdown in the second
quarter was the result OF n forward pass
for nineteen yards from Anderson to
Nielsen. who stepped over the line for
the tally. 1t was a brilliantly conceived
and finely worked play. Brown did not
have a man within Ave yards OF the re-
ceiver.
Where was the great Pollard all this
timer On the attack the negro star was
nowhere. but on the defensive he was
the only Brown man who came up to ex-
pectations. He fought valiantly. but to
no avail. for he was accorded poor sup
port. He kept IN fighting harder until
he was relieved toward the end of che
game by Brooks. The heavy going was
not to Pollard's liking. IND after a fair
start he slowed down to a walk. In all
the man who proved the undoing OF both
Harvard and Yale failed TO gain more

as much as Pollard was able to make

Farnum Falls Down.

II fairly well. but the right side was
dismal disappointment. Capt. Farnum
who had been ranked with the best
guards. played the poorest game OF his
career. Weeks. All Eastern end, fell will
the rest Of the Brown structure. He wal
injured In tho opening period. but Brown
kept him in until the fnal period.
Brown attempted no excuses after the
defeat. To a man the B~runonians con
coded that. the Colgate aggregation was
superior to the Brown eleven. and they
were willing to go on record with the as.
sertion hat there was not a team In III,

Victory was soon turned into defeat

stopped for a moderate gain. but one OF

at the runner chose to Indianize him

For the rest 81 the game Colgate slid
all over the gridiron and almost regis
tered another touchdown. Smashes

yards. Colgate men frequently slid for
10 and Is yards. The field was a quag

a big margin.
