Blue goal. and each time he plunged
across with the ball.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Nov. 12.--Syra-
cuse swan, padded and dove to IA
to victory over its ancient rival,
Colgate, this afternoon. The game was
played on a field ankle-deep in mud
and slush, and with heavy snow fall
ing. Five minutes aftef play started
the men were smeared from head to
foot and wore hardly distinguishable.
Time was called repeatedly to permit
the players to wipe the mud from their
eyes and faces.
Despite the weather more than Is 900
people sat shivering in the soaked
stands. The condition of the field and
the ball made fumbling frequent. The
breaks on the fumbles favored SYRIA
cuse, as Colgate twice lest an oppor
tune chance to score by dropping the
ball.
Quarterback Herbert of Syracuse
sustained several injuries in the sec
ond period when buried under a scrim-
mage. He was taken to a hospital.
On straight football Syracuse had all
the better of the argument and scored
both her touchdowns by straight meth
eds, using the dependable Anderson as
the battering ram to rip through the
Maroon line.
Colgate could do little CT nothing
against the Orange line and negotiated
iirst down only once during the first
three periods. In the final session the
visitors made their down twice more.

Keen Disnldy at Macy
Over Teams Defeat

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 12-To close
Navy adherents the defeat of the
middies at the hands of Penn State
College to-day brought keen dismay.
That they were going up against one
Of the strongest combinations in the
country was thoroughly understood,
but it was felt that the Navy forwards,
who have shown up strong on many
occasions and all veterans, would be
able to break down States slashing
offensive work
With this contest out of the way, the
Middies will now buckle down to even
harder preparation for their annual
argument with the rival West Point
cadets, to be staged on the Polo
Grounds, New York, two weeks hence.
Returns from to-day's game were re-
ceived over direct wire to the Naval
Academy, and were announced, play

down for Greasy'Neale's
Team in Final Period

PITTSBURGH, Nov. f2.-The Pitt
Panthers again wallowed in the slough
of defeat to-day, when Greasy" Neale's
Washington and Jefferson College team
defeated them by a score of 7 to 0, due
to the fast work of Erickson in the lat
ter part of the third quarter.
The ground was in such bad condi-
tion that long runs were out of the
question, and the first half Of the game
resolved itself into an exchange of
punts by Davies and Brenkert, in the
hope that a tumble would give the other
side an advantage. This did happen
once in the first quarter, when Bren-
kert fumbled Daviess punt on W. and
J.'s 19-yard line, Peters falling on the
ball for Pitt
However, the great defensive work of
Erickson and Basista held the Pan
theirs, and Davies was forced to kick.
The ball was kept almost entirely in
W. and Us territory during the whole
Of the first half. Only one first down
was made during this time, Winterburn
for Pitt making twelve yards through
left tackle just before the first quarter
ended.
The second quarter was entirely
without features, as neither side went
beyond the third down before punting
out. Pitt lost possible chance just
before the whistle blew, when, with two
yards to go for first down, a bad pass
lost five yards and W. and ]. recovered
the ball on their own 20-yard line. The
third period was devoid of interest un-
til near the close, when Pitt carried the
ball dangerously near the w. and ].
goal, but Captain Herb Stein intercept
ed forward pass from Davies and ran
back fifteen yards, after which a fine
run of twenty eight yards by Erickson
carried the ball to the Panthers' Is
yard line, when the quarter ended
Pitt threw Erickson back for thirteen
yards in the first play of the last quar-
ter, but moment later forward pass
from Brenkert to Kopf sent the latter
over for touchdown. Captain Stein
kicked goal, making the score to O,
where it remained to the finish, the
Presidents playing on the defensive.

I'd swayed without giving in either

and swayed without giving in either
way.
From the pile Referee All Sharpe
extracted the ball. and found the Navy
was two yards shy Of the necessary
distance for first down. A short time
later the conflict ended. The middies,
sadly disappointed in seeing their
great football eleven beaten, bowed
their headsein defeat. The State sup
porters also remained silent in trib-
ute to marvellous fighting rally pro-
duced by one of the greatest fighting
football machines in the country.
State had the better team and de-
served the victory. The Pennsylvania
warriors are wonderful fighters as we'll.
But in that last few minutes of play
they encountered an undaunted team
that simply would not be downed.
No Match for Penn Backs
The heavy field undoubtedly was an
advantage to the Navy. The brilliant
killinger and the shifty Lighter and
Wilson missed footing frequently after
they had broken clear, and there is lit
tie doubt that Had the field been dry
State would have won by a larger
margin.
The Navy line is composed of an ar
ray of veteran, experienced, capable
players. But for three-quarters of the
contest to-day they were outplayed by
the State forwards. the majority Of
whom are playing their first season of
varsity football
And those backs, seven of them, all
OF whom saw service at the NAVY last
season. although they made wonder
ful march up the field in the closing
minutes of the fray, were no match for
that backfield arranged and instructed
by the great little Bezdek.
The State backs slashed through
furlously, swiftly and Overwhelmingly.
The Navy tacklers found it simply i'm
possible to bring them down. It gen
orally required the combined efforts of
two or more middies to stop the Penn
sywanians.
They knitted through the line and
BOWED over Navy men, or if they found
their path obstructed, they reversed
their field almost without changing
stride. Killinger particularly did this
mighty we'll, but he was not much
shiftier than his hard running team
mate, Lightner. And as for Wilson he
was generally content to bore his way
along straight line. He was never
stopped until three or four had en-
twined their arms around his legs and
body.
Larson, the efficient captain of the
Navy, was a demon on defense. 1t was
he more than any other individual who
was mainly responsible for preventing
State from rolling up larger total.
He played a rowing center on defense
as we'll as ever we have seen it played.

ITHACA, N. Y, Nov. 12-Cornell de-
feated Springfield College by the score
OF Ia to 0 in the final game of the
season to-day. A blizzard swept across
the field from the northwest, and the
grldlron was mass of mud and snow,
the players floundering around ankle
deep IN the mire. 1t was a travesty
on football most of the time.
Captain Dodge and Eddie Kaw were
not IN the Red lineup, the Cornell
leader having been called home to
cleveland by the death of his father,
while Coach Dobe did not care to suh-
Ject his star left halfback to possible
injury on such field. The Ithacans
started quickly, scoring within four
minutes on series of rushes from
mldfield, Ramsey going over for the
score. The final touchdown came in
the fourth quarter.
