Joy Of Victory Is Tempered by
Fracture of Bone in
Bakers Ankle.

In the most exciting game played on
! Ohio Field in many years New York
, University's football team triumphed
over the Bensselaer Poly eleven by the
score Of Q to o yesterday. The victory
was the first for the Violet this season,
after three consecutive scoreless defeats.
Playing q greatly improved game and
| a new style Of football, as taught by
Associate Coach Gargan, the local eleven
clearly outplayed the visitors In every
department of the game. Gargan has
been helping head coach Longwell for
only a week. but in that time the former
Fordham coach has instituted a COM
plete change in the football policy at the
| Heights
The game was fast and on the whole
well played. The spectators were kept
on edge throughout the contest, as II was
replete with sensational runs, spectacu-
lar forward passes and remarkable punts
| by Cam for the Violet and Eller for the
Cherry and White. Cam outkicked his
| rival by a distance Of five yards on each
punt. his tries averaging torty-hve
yards.
| Eller started the game by kicking OF
to Weinheimer on the ten yard line and
the fast halfback brought the leather
back twenty-five yards. The New York.
ers, aided by a long forward pass from
Cam to Weinheimer for a agin of
twenty-five yards, succeeded in taking
the pigskin down TO the Trojans' IS yard
line. where they lost 1t on a tumble. Arm
strong fell on the ball for the visitors.
An exchange of kicks followed and Cam
attempted drop kick from the 35 yard
line that missed its mark by inches.
| Cam Kicks Goal.
The ball was brought out to the 20
yard line, and on the first play R p. l.
was penalized fifteen yards for pushing
Eller then got or a poor punt to Cam,
who signalled for a fair catch on the 80
| yard line. Then resulted the Violet's
hrst score of the season, when Cam
booted the ball between the posts for a
placement goal.
The play see-sawed back and forth
in punting duel until two minutes
before the end OF the half. when the
locals were given scare. Ellers
attempt at a placement goal fell short,
and Jackson was downed In his tracks
| on the four yard mark The goal posts
interfered with a kickout, so straight
| football was necessary. Three plays
gained but three yards but the ball was
| now In a position to kid. Brinn made
| a bad pass to Cam and the Violet cap
|
| the one yard line. 1t was Renns~ers
ball now, and after Eller had failed to
| gain on a plunge at centre the whistle
blew, ending the half.
| The third quarter was featured by the
continuation Of the puntlng duel and
ended with the ball In the Trojan's
possession on their own twenty-five yard
| line. Filler opened the final period by
| kicking to Gilloon on the latter's forty
| tnr
on sensational thirty-fve yard run, In
which he shook of several tacklers and
| was only downed by Eller, the defensive
quarterback, on the twenty yard line.
Forward Pass Helps.
A forward pass over the centre OF the
line from Weinheimer to Cam netted
nineteen yards and on the next play
Cohen. the husky little fullback. plowed
through centre for n touchdown. Cam
| missed goal from a difficult angle.
| The play for the rest of the game was
entirely In the visitors territory and
only disastrous tumble prevented the
New Workers. from registering another
score. The up-Staters fought back hard
and tried every trick play in their cate
cory. but to no avail. The game ended
as Filler punted to Cam at midfield.
Howard Cam. the Violet captain. was
|
his first appearance at halfback, his old
position. this season and his all around
play showed a decided Improvement
Heretofore he has been calling the sig
nails and this added duty had tended
to slow up his play. Weinheimer. Cams
running mate In the backtield, gave mis-
| leader strong run for first honors, and
| his long run through a broken field
was the Individual feature of the excit-
ing contest. Filler, the fighting quar-
ter. and Capt. Richards played best for
the losers,
Baker Is Injured.
Another man was added to the long
hospital list of the local team, when
Baker. who has been playing a star
game at tackle, received an incomplete
fracture OF his left ankle The injury
will keep him out of the game for the
rest of the season: This makes the
NTH Violet regular who has been sert-
ously injured this fall. A string of
hard luck has been trailing the New
York eleven all season and the teams
supporters are hoping that yesterdays
victory will kill the Internal jinx. The
