GREAT TEAM PLAY
MARKS RED ATTACK
Victor's Goal Uncrossed All
Season, Eastern Title
Claim Established.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

Brown Bear, and when Colgate'S
Raiders had finished the job there
was practically nothing left of the
Brown Bears pelt except few
SCARED patches.
AS Thanksgiving sun scattered gray
clouds and warmed up ice-laden winds,
Colgate predominated by the wide mar
gin of 2l-0 in varied, ripping assault
that included three touchdowns, a
safety and goal after touchdown. with
only field goal overlooked in the Col
gate arsenal Of destruction.
In addition to clearing the path for
an unbeaten season Colgate finished her
campaign without a point registered
against the Red defense all year, re-
markable performance in this wild and
woolly year of upsets and overthrows.
TOLGATES one-sided victory over
~ Brown, the team that conquered
Yale. Harvard, Holy Cross and Co
lun1bia, left the Raiders with strong
claim for the supremacy of the East
which might be disputed later, but
which can never be lightly thrown
aside.
The Colgate attack which cut the
Brown Bear into strips was the most
versatile and bewildering assault any
team in the East has shown all season.
1t consisted Of single and double re-
verses, spinners, forwards and laterals,
fake reverses and double passes, which
finally had the scrappy Brown defense
careening like merry-go-round in vain
attempts to locate the hidden ball car
rier and haul him to earth.
1t was a perfectly timed, well drilled
attack ably directed by Charley Soleau
at quarterback. with Whitley Ask and
Samuel ripping their way along the
green turf. These two fast, hard
running backs, with Rowe at fullback
were more than the Bruins defense
could stop. They were flock of bound
ing antelopes with almost every charge
SO well masked and hidden that it was
almost impossible to locate the spear
head of the killing thrust and toss up a
barricade in time to check the play.
l. up a stout fight: The scrappy bear
not only held this Colgae whirligig
to cne touchdown, but marched to
within inches CT the Colgate goal-a
gcal no team had reached all year.
Bob Chase, the Woodworking Brown
Quarterback, had just one charge left
s5 the first half ended He was only
feet away, with 5 seconds to go, as
he hurled himself against the middle
CT the Colgate line to find the ball less
than inches away frcm the final line
of chalk.
Brown was still in the thick of the
fight as the second half opened, but
from that point on the team was in
a fog and a mist, bewildered and
baffied, cropping in the dark against an
ohenSe that gfeinted and struck with
more power, speed and deception than
it could match
As a result Of this well mixed assault,
Colgate scored as many points against
Brown in one afternoon as Yale, Har
ward, Holy Cross. Columbia and all the
others had scored all year. Here you
have sufficient proof of the attacking
potency these Red Raiders showed
against a team that had come un-
beaten through hard campaign.
COLGATE'S 6efense was just as good
~ as her attack. Near the close Of
the second period Brown was
awarded total of So yards on penalties
called for interfering with the pass re-
ceiver. This gave the Bear a great
chance only a few yards away from
was at this point that Chase led an
attack that finally came to an abrupt
halt only inches short Of a touchdown
march,
It was Browns final bid in the game.
From that spot on Chase, Gammino,
Allen, Gilbane, Buonanno and Gilman
tin found nothing but steel and con-
crete in the road which no inside attack
could break down or puncture at any
point.
Brown had no deception to match
Colgate's fancy maneuverS which now
and then had forwards and laterals
only a swarm of bees could have locat-
ed the ball carrier. For example, here
Is just one play that Colgate used to
show what Browns defense was up
against. 1t was the finest piece of ex-
ecution have seen all year.
TOLGATE, at this spot, was on her
~ own 17-yard line. Rowe took the
ball from center and passed to Sam
uel on a reverse. Samuel then slipped
through between end and tackle and
ran 10 yards. Just as he was tackled,
still travelling at top speed, he flipped
a lateral to Ask, who was also on the
dead run. The feet Ask took the ball
without breaking his stride and ran to
the 4l-yard line before he was finally
nailed.
No wonder the Brown defense, fight
ing every second of the game. was left
STRANDED IN SOup-cOlOreQ log.
It was Whitley Ask who paved the
way for Colgate's first touchdown with
a great 70-yard kick a fine pass and
then a run to Browns one-yard line.
Colgate's second touchdown came on
a 6?-yard march, from the 33-yard
line on across the Brown goal 1t was
an assault Of heavy artillery, light ar
tillery, machine gun, trench mortar and
hand grenade to say nothing of SAP
pers and camoufiage.
WHEREVER Brown was on this
Wv march, Colgate wasn't. Wherever
Colgate was, Brown was some
where else.
This Colgate attack was not only
full Of fireworks and variety, but its
personnel wsS 50 ably drilled that every
man carried out his assignment to the
final touch, which is always proof o1
championship class.
Colgate beat a good Brown team-s
hustling, hard-fghting, hard tackline
set of Bears who were too badly bewil-
dered by an attack that carried more
variety than any team the East, a
least had seen all year. I doubt If an!
attack in the country had as much II
the way of deception and that VARIETY
which is the spice of foot ball life.
In addition to her three touchdowns
Colgate blocked a kick for 2 NOR
points. Later on in the closing mo
nents, Cclgate's second tam scores
one touchdown and lost two more whel
pass receivers dropped the pan only
step or two away from the Brown goa
line, with no one close.
