victorious eleven In an uphill nght
In his final appearance in the Ma
room uniform Tryon added = points
to his season total when he scored
one touchdown and kicked for two
points after touchdown. The Col
gate captain figured in almost every
play but was closely covered by the
Brown tacklers.
The game marked the passing
from College football of another
great halfback, Jackson Keefer of
Dayton, Ohio, captain Of the Brown
eleven, who graduates next summer.
Keefer scored Browns first touch
down in the first few minutes OF the
game and his injury received in the
first period handicapped the team
severely. He was taken out with
a broken rib, Dixon replacing him.
Brown did all its scoring in its
first period which ended with a score
of II to G in favor of the Bear. Col
gate tailed once in the second Pc
Rod as the result of a long forward
pass, Tryon to Tins, and tied the
score late in the final quarter when
Tryon eluded the watchful Brown
ends and crossed the line on a
sweeping end run. 1t was a forward
pass that paved the way for this
score, Tryon's throw to Seybolt hav-
ing placed the ball on Browns three
yard line.
Neither team was able to gain
consistently through the line, and
the game took to the air, with
Brown holding the edge in proper
ton Of forward passes completed.
Out of thirteen attempts Brown
completed five passes for a gain of
81 yards. Colgate gambled % times
and completed three. for a gain of
60 yards. but these proved oppor-
tune. Time and again Tryon's long
throws found nobody waiting for
them at the end, but two lucky
losses, each Of 30 yards or more,
resulted in touchdowns.
Brown had the advantage in first
, downs, making ten against Colgate's
nine and in rushing the Bear won
| 1913 yards to Colgate's 163. Brown
| yielded 40 yards in penalties and
Colgate Is. In the final period the
breaks favored Colgate. two Brown
| fumbles by Dixon and Jones who
substituted for Lawrence proving
| costly.
At the outset it looked like a
| sweeping victory for Brown Tyron
bottled UP by the Brown linemen,
was unable to advance. Mishers Rs
yard pass to Keefer placed the ball
F., on Colgate's six yard line and on the
third play Keefer hurdled the Col
| gate line for the touchdown, Mishei
kicking the extra point. Keefer was
| injured when he was tackled after
tearing through the Colgate line for
q gain of Ia yards. But Broda,
Browns star end. received Mishers
| 30 yard forward pass on Colgate's
ten yard line and the stage was set
for the second touchdown. Payers
end run gained nine yards and Law
renee drove through for the final
yard. Mishei drop-kicked the extra
point and Brown was through for
the day.

Brown on the defensive in their own
territory, Tryon shot a long pass to
Timm, who was standing on the
Brown ten yard line, and the Col
gate END sauntered over for touch
down. Tryon added the point.
Colgate was solving the puzzle OF
Browns aerial attack and the third
period went scoreless. In it's often.
sive, however, the Maroon made
little Roadway. Repeatedly Tryon
was stopped in his tracks and his
passes were grounded. In the final
period Colgate's attack began 70
wear down the Brown line but twice
the Bear held in the shadow of his
goal posts, once on the ten and again
on the three yard line.
Late in the final period, two sue
cessful forward passes. Tryon to Sey.
bolt, gained nearly 80 yards. The
ball was put in play on Browns
three yard line and Tryon in a dash
that carried him across the field
circled the Brown right end and
scored. He added the point that tied
the score.
