be perfectly content with a draw.
Syracuse had the power and might
we'll have pushed over couple of
touchdowns but for poor judgment on
the part of both of the Salt City team
quarter backs, and a series Of tumbles.
Those fumhles came in the first half
just at time when the visitors were
beginning to warm up to their task of
marching steadily down the field.
Syracuse's goal at no time was in
danger, for Brown had little to show
IN the way Of offense. The locals con-
centrated their entire time and atten-
tlon in stopping the visiting backs and
they did that so we'll they kept their
goal line free from danger through out
tombstone and Schmultz, ends, and
Eckstein were conspicuous in smearing
the Orange. Johnstone and Eckstein
especially were great. I have never
seen the job OF rowing center handled
better than the sturdy, rugged tow
headed Eckstein did it to-day. He was
all over the lot, down field, under
punts, ahead of the others generally
and helping out the ends constantly.
He gives promise of developing into
one Of the best pivot men Brown has
ever had. He is only a sophomore.
syracuse interference Poor
Johnstone, a husky, towering lad,
was knocking down the Orange backs
consistently and effectively and seemed
to take delight in doing it. In SO doing
ne did not get much opposition from
either the opposing end or the Syra-
cuse backs, who did poor work on in
tterference. Johnstone was left stand
ing repeatedly when he should have
been laid low on every end 1un.
Although Syracuse was ragged on
otfense, wasting its power because of
several costly mistakes, it was quite
the equal if not better than Brown on
defense. The locals did not threaten
the Syracuse goal line. On first downs
Syracuse made six to Browns one.
Waldorf was Syracuse's mainstay in
smothering Browns play, while An
derson did splendid work in backing
up the line. Starobine also showed to
advantage and Vanblarcon exhibited
flashes of hard tackling.
Syracuse started the game we'll
enough and was driving steadily along.
toward its opponents goal line when
Mcbride fumbled. Brown failed dis
mally in its efforts to gain and punted.
Syracuse started rushing again. but
the work of the line in opening holes
was sluggish. So Syracuse resorted to
punting. In this department, with
Sweet, of Brown, kicking against Zim-
norman and Bowman, the locals had a
slight advantage.
Toward the close of the period Coach
Meehan sent in Bowman, the Jersey
flash, who reeled off a gain of seven
yards on the third play just as the
period ended. This lad was given the
ball again on the first play in the Sec
ond period, and, running with fine
speed and excellent Judgment, skirted
left tackle for gain Of eighteen yards.
That brought the ball inside of Browns
2b-yard line and put the Orange in a
fine position to score. But the ref
eeree's whistle blew as Bowman was
being thrown and the ball brought
back, because, the officials explained,
Syracuse was holding. Thus did the
visitors throw away their first oppor-
tunity to tally.
Syracuse Drive Is Halted
Another exchange Of punts followed
and then Syracuse started another fine
drive down the field, with Anderson
gaining most Of the ground on straight
plunges. Syracuse was now on Browns
S5-yard line and going strong, but it
seemed to us the quarterback showed
poor Judgment in not varying his
plays more. As Anderson tore along
the Brown defense was drawn in and
stiffened considerably. With only a
yard to gain for first down Anderson
dove into the line with the bail. When
the pile. was untangled the referee de-
cided that the stocky Syracuse back
had failed by inches to make his gain.
Brown quickly punted. Shortly after
the half ended, score 0 to O.. n
Syracuse came back swiftly enough
in the second half when Bowman
taak the kick off and ran 1t back
to the 3s-yard line. But immediately.
poor judgment slowed down the visit
ing attack. A forward pass was at
tempted on the first play. II was poorly
executed with, the passer hurrying his
throw in ,haphazard manner. Sweet
broke through and intercepted. and
there was Brown knocking at the door.
80 to speak.
The locals found the Orange line i'm
pregnable and punted. More punts fol-
lowed. Anderson and Mcbride started
another march down field which was
stopped on Browns 4o-yard line. And
