All Scoring Comes Early in Game Ohio Field
Visitors Rally and Outplay Winners in Second
Half, but Fail to Score.
BY SAMUEL J. BnooKMAN,


Trinity. after being routed by New
York University in the first half Of their
annual football game on Ohio Field yes
terday, came to life In surprising fash
Ion. outplayed the Violet. threatened Sc
riously several times, but failed to score.
1t was. however. far from being as one
sided a contest as the score Of % to 0
indicates. N. Y. U. threw all its speed
and power into an early offensive.
crossed the Trinity goal line four times.
and then not only found It's attack spent
but Its defence growing weaker.
Outweighed an average Of ter pounds
to q man, the visiting eleven was unable
to stem the rushes of the Violet backs
early In the tussle. The local collegians,
with Weinheimer and Friedlander carry
ing the ball. marched along for consist
ent and substantial gains almost at will.
First down followed first down and
touchdown followed touchdown. At the
end Of the first period the Violet was
credited with thirteen first downs to
none for the Trinity players. who scarce
ly had had the ball in their possession at
all. There was one advance Of seventy
five yards. another Of sixty and still an
other of fifty.
1t was all the more surprising there
fore when In the second period the visi-
tors assumed the aggressive and out
rushed the home team by five first downs
to three. N. Y. u. added another touch
down to Its score but II was made on
SO yard run by Frtedlander, not by the
pile driving attack through the line
that had marked the first three ad-
vances. The Violet did not gain con-
sistently after that AS a matter Of
fact. the ball was more often In the
hands Of Its opponents who pressed them
hard on several occasions
Trinity's First Threat.
With a first down on the Violet three
ward passing Trinity made considerable
progress In the second. third and fourth
quarters. After four first downs in a
row for total Of SO yards Trinity had
the ball on N. Y. us IL yard line when
the half ended. Nordlund and Kennedy
were beginning to find holes In the
Violet line and were ploughing through
for yards at a time. In the third
period after furry Of fumbling Trinity
took the ball on downs on its own 40
yard line and then launched another
offensive that was sustained for a dis
tance Of nearly so yards. Two long
Tanzill. and another from Kennedy to
Nordlund. brought the oval to the Is
yard line. Then Nordlund circled left
end for ~ yards.
With q first down on the Violet 3
yard line a Trinity score seemed immi-
nent, particularly after Kennedy on
the next rush carried the ball through
centre only six inches from the goal
line. But the score was not to be-
Three times Trinity concentrated its
attack at the centre of N. Y. U. line
and three times the Trinity attack was
hurled back without an inch being
gained. 1t was a remarkably fine stand
by the Violet and set Its rooters shout
ing with glee. Taking the ball on
downs. N. Y. u on the second play
punted out Of danger.
The forward pass gave Trinity an
other opportunity shortly before the
game ended. Starting from midfield
the visitors made three first downs in
a row, two Of them on passes chat
netted fifteen yards each and the third
on twelve yard plunge through the
line by Nordlund. With the ball on
". Y. US 8 yard line. the referees
whistle cut short Trinity's threat.
Violet Scores EARLY.
1t took New York University just Ave
minutes to score its first touchdown. six
first downs being made in a row after
Trinity had kicked Off At that stage
the Violet backs were making the neces-
sary distance in a single rush. Wein-
heimer carried the ball across and
kicked the goal Trinity's first attempt
at an offensive broke badly. only five
yards being made in three rushes. After
receiving the pNnt o nits own 40 yards
line the home team began sweeping all
befoer it again and travelled all the way
to the Trinity goal inside Of four min
utes. A twenty yard forward pass from
