Conquerors of Yale and Harvard Short End of 28-0 Score-Noted Negro Held in Check-Local
 r #s Boys Share in Glory

Providence R. T., Dec. 1-Brown's s rosy dream of the football champion ship of the east was waited into ob' 1ivion yesterday when spunky Col gate submerged the proud conquer ors of Harvard and Yale in a puddle of mud by a score of 28 to 0. A sea- son of gridiron surprises had produced no such upheaval as this, and when the Brown boys, with all their sisters and their cousins and their aunts, sat down to their Thanksgiving dinners after the football catastrophe, the Rhode Island turkey and the English plum pudding didn't taste as fine as ! they expected.
 A teeming cold rain drenched play CTS and spectators and turned the gridiron into a. quagmire. Through the mud the husky Colgate hnemen pushed and dragged Browns am- Abitious players until their own anothers wouldn't recognize them. Never before has an eleven which ghowed as much promise and also as much achievement as Brown has this season been overturned so thoroughly and humiliatingly. Colgate slid Browns athletes completely off their feet in the gluey muck and played Ed Robinson's great machine to a stand still.
 It is hard to explain just what was the matter with the Brown players. Maybe their heads were dazed with air castles of championships and with anticipated All-Eastern and All American glory. Anyway Colgate, full of fight and football, just lifted of ho cfar If rH, them around Andrews Field so un ceremoniously that they were stunned. Colgate outchafged the famed Brown line, she riddle it with holes big enough to haul a coal truck through. she wheeled merrily around the ends and gave Brown a lesson in football she will not soon forget &
 Prophecies Go All Awry.
 Brown is the disappointment of the years eliminating days, and Colgate, especially considering the size of the college, comes pretty near to being the sensation of the season. When Col gate invaded the west and trimmed Illinois, football folks were surprised; when she tore the giant Syracuse eleven to ribbons football folks mar veled, but when, this same Colgate bunch ripped Brown to tatters yes terday afternoon football folks threw up their hands in utter amazement.
 It was hard, bruising oldfashioned football that wrecked Browns hopes Hubbell, Spencer, and Gillo, the Col gate back, were damned through the line with such force that in the third period Brown was being bowled over in the mud like a lot of tenpins, while al ,irr the field at rate of ten yards at clip. With each charge triumphant Colgate rubbed it in worse. The Ham ton for the much -heralded Brown stars and made them look like a group of youths just taking up a new , game
 The greatest shock to Brown was the thorough and complete suppress ing of Fritz Pollard, Browns negro halfback, who has struck terror into every team he has faced. Pollard was subdued. Never a chance did he get to rornp away clear and bring forth the lusty shouts which were all ready and waiting to greet him. Colgate watched the dusky stars every move so closely that whenever he carried the ball there were half a dozen pairs of strong arms ready to grasp him and bury him beneath a pile of steam ing mud-daubed players.
 Pollard Strong on Defense.
 Even though Colgate did crush out all Pollard's chances to gallop his way to glory, they could not get him out of the way on the defense. Al Pollard has starred on the attack al season, so he starred yesterday after noon on the defense. He was the one man in the Brown team who was able to tumble the overwhelming Colgat, rush. Playing on the secondary de fense,s Pollard rushed in headlong ant often dumped the Colgate runners af ter they had successfully shaken of the other Brown tacklers. Colgate warriors tried in vain to box him III negro outguessed them and wiggle, his way through to spill rompin opposition. ..... .,,-...
 Browns tackling was way off form The players arms slipped from tn muddy moleskins of the Colgate mer They seemed dull and slow, too, i diagnosing Colgates attack. Many time the Hamilton players had broke loose and were on their way long be fore Brown woke up.
