! 1 times did the trusty toe of West boot l the heavy water-SOaked ball over the 1 crossbar for an additional point ! Browns men were helpless in the hands of the New York State players 1 who toyed with them much a cat 1 toys with ball of string. On every rush the Brown line was completely smothered, and upon the few occa- l sions when the local athletes had the 1 ball their formations were rudely jared and shattered before they were we'll started. Colgate's eleven was l drilled like a regiment of soldiers and l throughout the game played with a unity and a crushing responsiveness, 1 in the face of which Brown made but | a poor showing
 Brown, Perhaps, 8 Bit Stale. 1 7 About the only excuse that can be put forward for Browns eleven is 1 that the men had perhaps gone stale. Pointed, presumably, for the Yale and Princeton games, the snap and ginger was all used up. They 1 played one game too many. The wear and tear of the two great victories may have been too much for Robin sons eleven. Anyway, it was a far different team today from the one which put New Haven and Cam bridge in mourning only a few weeks back. Playing himself into the very front rank of the seasons quarterbacks, was Carl Oscar Anderson, of the Colgate eleven. He ran the eleven faultlessly, and made several sensational runs and dashes through the line. Hubbe1l, Spencer, Gtllo and West were the oth- CT players on the Colgate eleven whose individual work stood out, but | in the maze of the formations it could be seen that every one of the Colgate linemen were doing Trojans' work.
 To make the gloom of Providence complete the heavy rainstorm fdrenched many of the spectators so thoroughly that they had to leave be- fore the game was half over. It was the largest crowd that ever saw a football game at Andrews Field. A crowd of 5000 is a large gathering for the new and old wooden stands here. The Brown students were all charged with cheers and songs, and with their brass band were ready to celebrate the greatest festival of vic- tory in the institutions history.
 They have the right idea about a

 Colgate on Her Way Early.
 Soon after Horning had kicked off for Colgate at the games outset, and Brown had tried to rush the ball, the Providence players discovered that 1t was a hopeless task to try to pune ! ture the opposing line. Hillhouse was 1 forced to punt and then Colgate be- gan it's march to victory. Spencer and Gil1o galloped through gaping l openings in the Brown line, and car ried the ball down the field thirty i yards in half a dozen rushes. An i derson then skirted the end for fif- teen, and on the next play tossed the 1 ball to the goal line to Nelson. but the play was annulled, as Brown was detected holding, and was penalized fifteen yards to her own 6-yard line. Spencer damned through to the g. l yard line and Brown made a gallant stand on the next two rushes, hurling back Hubbell and Spencer. On the 1 third try, Anderson shot himself l through for touchdown.
 After the next kick off, Brown for a moment got under way, Pollard smashed through right tackle, and
 lodged past three of the Colgate tack 1ers. The crowd was up, and unbrel-
 las began to wave frantically as the
 dusky back went on through the maze
 of players. He was almost loose
 when he slipped in the mud, and Col
 gate players buried him after he had
 gone ten yards. That was the only
 time in the game that Pollard broke
 loose in a scrimmage. Later in the
 game he caught a kick off on his three-yard line, and ran back twenty before he was stopped. He tried to
 shoot forward passes. but the Brown
 ends were so successfully blocked that
 there was no one on hand to com . p1ete his filings.
 Hillhouse Punting Poorly. Before the first period ended West } tried a kick from placement from his 38-yard line, but the heavy ball , swerved out of it's true course. It ! was the same old story with Browns , ] cohorts each time they got the ball Pollard, Jemail, and Purdy would
 gain few yards, and then Hillhouse , l would be forced to punt His punt ing was cratic and the slippery bal !, many times went wild. Hubbell, the
 Colgate kicker. had better luck. and two or three times he boomed away 1 kicks for fifty yards and even sixty
 yards.
 The first period ended with the bal in Browns possession on Colgate's
