on n. Y. US 45-yard line after for
ward pass. Eccles to Masczienski. had
gained twenty yards. Almost single
handed he hammered his way to the
n. Y. Z. 10-yard chalk mark. Then
Eccles was thrown for loss of ten
yaros on a play from kick formation
and Columbia on top of it was penal
pleted forward pass gave N. Y. L. the
ball on her 25-yard mark Cann re-
i"ved the situation with beautiful!
punt.
Then. on her 4o-yard line Columbia
bungled forward pass. Bryn batted
the attempt over to Cohen, who was
aowned with the hall on Columbia's
35-yard line. A pretty forward pass.

moment later Jackson sneaked around
left end and took an uncovered posi-
ton we'll behind the Columbia line
Cohen passed the ball ten yards back
to Cam. WHO In turn made titanic
heave of some thirtyfve yards to the
waiting Jackson The latter had a
Gear field for a sprint of thirty yards
Cam kicked the goal.
4 somewhat peculiar play opened the
third period. Cam, who kicked off
for n. Y. u, downed Eccles, who took
the punt on Columba's '30-yard line,
n. Y. U. got the bal. by interccpting
a forward pass, but because of fifteen
yards penalty for holding was forced
to kick Then began triumphant
march on the part of Columbia. From
midtielc Farrell, aided occasionally by
Mosczienski, hammered back the Wis
itors upon their own goal until finally
Towers. called upon when the other
two were bad y blown, went over for a
touchdown. The punt out was a failure.
Eccles's tumble Costly
A tumble by Eccles was directly re-
sponsibie for New York University's s
fourth touchdown The Blue and White
line had slowed down n. Y. US attach.
and was more than holding its own at
the time. 1t was jackson who recovered
Eccles's tumble within the 10-yard line.
Cohen again was given the honor OF
carrying over the touchdown and Cam
kicked the goal.
A beautiful end run of fifty-tive yards
on the part Of Cam, which placed the
ball on Columbia's 15-yard line, ended
the third period. Failing with the for
ward pass at the start Of the fourth
period, Cam tried Tor smother drop
kick, but was wide.
Through this concluding period
Columbia clearly outp.ayed the VIC
tors. 1t was becau,e of the fact that
the Blue and White, in desperation,
opened up and played the forward pass
ing to the limit Three cleverly exc
cuted forward fings-all in row
gave the home team its second touch
down.
The first. long fling from Ecces, on
I 81
catch, netted forty yards. This was
followed by a double lateral pass. Ec-
cles to Mosezenski, that gained fifteen
more. Then Weinstein broke free for
short forward pass from Eccles and
raced the twenty yards for a touch
down. He failed to kick the goal.
There was no scoring thereafter

Lafayette's 40-yard line. Rote made a
ten-yard run off tackle and Wysocki
followed with five more.
The Lehieh backheld formed as for
another plunge and the ball was
snapped back. 1t was trick pay and
before the Lafayette backs realized
what had happened Rote was past
them and scored. Although the punt
out was perfect Rote failed to kick the
goal.
Captain Weldon played d wonderful
game both on offensive and defensive.
He intercepted four of Lehigh's at
tempted passes. His punting was also
en- important factor in the victory.
Dunno Starred
Dunno proved that he is one Of the
best ends in the country His rcceiy-
ing Of forward passes was sensational
espec' ally the one which resulted in q
touchdown. He leaped into the air for
il among a number of Lehigh men
and then wriggled through them for
the score.
Wysockie and Rote also performed
in great fashion. Wysockies plung
ing was the most consistent of the
game. The Lehigh fullback outplayed
The Lafayette captain in this respect.
Besides scoring Lehigh's lone touch
down with clever run, Rote played a
great defensive game.

of long passes which eventually placed
the ball on the Ohio 20-yard crossing.
Here Bob Fletcher dropped back to the
