COLGATE 7 TO 7 TIE


ball field nothing is to be taken for
granted.
The scoring Of the Colgate touchdown
| and the incidents which led up to II were
| similar to those which figured in the
| to o victory over Princeton last Satur-
day.
At Princeton 1t will be remembered
that poor punt by Trimble put the
Maroon in a position to strike directly
at the Tiger goal line. And this after
| noon 1t was a wretched punt by Rob-
| ertson which put Colgate in a position
favorable TO- successful assault on the
| Green's goal line.
1t was shortly after the start of the
game that Laird of Colgate was called
on to kick and he sent the ball to Dart
mouths eight yard line. where Jack Can
nell was downed in his tracks.
1t was altogether too deep in Dart
mouth territory for the Green to take
any chances with the soggy ball. so Rob-
ertson dropped back to punt. He kicked
out Of bounds on Dartnouth's 20 yard
mark his kick went only nineteen yards
and Colgate was in a position to threaten
the Dartmouth goal mighty seriously.
Colgate Team fixhts Hard.
Laird hit off let tackle for fve yards
and Colgate was on the Green's II yard
mark. Gillo smashed through centre for
seven yards, and It was first down on
the Green's 10 yard line, The Colgate
eleven was fighting harder than ever
before. 1t was that same irresistible drive
which 1t exhibited at Princeton after
1t had been baked inside the Tigers
l yard mark. And to-day, as then. 1t
was Gillo whom Colgate called on re-
peatedly In its hour of impending
triumph.
Again Gillo was sent against the left
side of the line. but this time the gain
was only a yard. Dartmouth was try
ing hard TO brace Once more Clio
went HURTING into the fighting mass, and
this time he got three yards. Colgate
was only six yards from a touchdown.
For the first time the old call to fight
came from the packed stands.

insensible to human pain and the ef-
fncts of physical exertion. His inter-
ference was not of the best but he tore
on and on, carrying a human burden
about a quarter of ton every time he
dived into the line.
With six yards to go Gillo made two
yards more. Then the Colgate attack
opened up Anderson fell back and
Dartmouth did not know what to ex-
pect. But it turned out to be for
ward pass. Anderson threw the ball and
Gillo came over the goal line to receive
the toss, giving Colgate the touchdown.
II was an easy try for goal, and with
out any preliminaries West kicked 1t,
putting the Maroon in the van by to 0.
The Colgate touchdown was hardly a
surprise to the neutrals in the stands.
The Maroon got the Jump on the Dart
mouth men from the start. got a first
down on rushing even before the Green
had realized II and soon appeared on the
road to q score. Murphy's opening
kickoff went to Clio, who ran the ball
back twenty yards to his own 30 yard
line His first smash went for naught,
but his next netted seven yards, his
third smash got him three yards and
first down. Dartmouth was ashast.
In a minute or two Colgate got an
other first down by rushing, and then
came Dartmouth's first big brace. A
Colgate forward pass went awry and
Laird had to kick Colgate had ad-
vanced twenty-six yards by straight
rushing of the old fashioned type, hard

, Colgate had demonstrated that II had
terrific power in its straight attack. Now
II showed that Il had equal power in
| its defence.
Up to this point Dartmouth had tried
to fight Colgate with its own weapon, a
straight attack Having realized that
this was futile, Clarence Spears, the

any minute, was removed and In his
place Holbrook, a great end runner. was
substituted In the Green back field.
Hardly had Hoibrook gone in than Dart

scheme into effect. Laird punted to Can
