Two forward passes followed but both of them wers unsuccessful and the hall waa turned over to the visitors on the twenty-yard line. At this stage of the game Coach Sullivan Injected more suhstltwtea Into tha Yellow line-up, Elihn Hedges taking McShea'e place and Jack Dunn relieving Harbison. Hamilton made a gam effort to rush tha ball down tha field but at tha mid-field line a fumble by Fletcher emded tha rally.

The Hyra-ensa line from tackle, except for an occassional flash of superior play on tha lart of Traynor, at canter for Colgate, waa stronger offensively and defensively than the tame rector of tha Maroon line.

Colgate lost thirty-five yards In five pennltlea, one of which pave Syracuse the ball only a yard from the Colgate goal line. Colgate gained only one first down by rushing. The other first down with which the Maroon la credited came throngh recovery of a free fumble. Throughout tegame the Hnmiltonians were up against the necessity of kicking after trying In vain to pierce the Syra cuse defense. Syracuse, too, kicked often, but the Orange naci consistent auccess rilshing, making thirteen first downa in thia manner.

Syracuse did not try a forward pass, while the four attempted by Colgate were failures. Colgate might have done aomething with ita aerial attack on a dry day, a all of the passes were vccll placed, failing because the receiver was unable to hold the alippery ball.

Charley ttuinrill and Hill fjreen remained on the bench throughout and Joe Johnny Harbison and Johnny (ileason played but a few minutes. and Gleason received minor injuries, and were sent to the dressing rooms before the content waa over.

Forward Paaaea Fail. The visitors showed th usual 6ght and enthusiasm of Hamilton teams, but were sadly larking Ip ability. The condition of the enow-covered gridiron probably prevented a much larger score be-run up. On a dry field, the Yellow undoubtedly would have scored many time, on account of the weakness of the Hamilton line. The varsity backs seemed able to gain at will through the visitors' line, and had It not lieen for the numerous fumbles.

Quarterback Al Weeks undoubtedly would have adhered more to atrnigliUfoothall. After the second quarter neither team was able to make good ita serinl attscks with sny consistency. The Yellow tried tine snd sgsiu to advance the ball through the air for no other apparent reason than to save ita bucks and to vary its attack. Iav Hiimmel'a pao invsriably went astray and upon several occasions it was due only to nlmost laughahin lurk thnt the ball slipped through the fingers of a Huff and Hlne player who intercepted the pass. Hamilton succeeded in working one pass during the third nuartc-r, Fletcher to Mo-(iriflin, that gained ten yards, putting the Huff and Hlne on the Yellow's forty-five-yard line, and starting a short lived rally, which was squelched when the visitors tried to gain through the line.

Blocks Placement Kick. Cosch Berry's men only once threatened the Yellow's goal line, when a fumbled punt by Gleason early in the first quarter gave the visitors the ball on Rochester's twenty-Bve-yard line. At-exchange of punts. Fowler tempted passes by Fletcher followed, but were unsuccessful. Again in the second quarter, when llamiltnp had gained on an exchange of punts.

Fowler dropped back lo the thirty-yard line for a placement kick but Arlhur Lneser broke through in time to block the kirk and covered the ball ten yards farther back. Hummel then punted to, Hamilton's forty-yard line and the Yellow was never again in danger. The vuutnra received all the breaks in the first quarter, but were unable to take advantage of them. Twice the Rochester backs fumbled the slippery ball on punts near their own goal line, but the Huff and Hlue could not show a scoring play and was driven back. Several exchanges of punts came as a result of neither team being'able to warm tip to a sustained attack and the period ended with the ball in Rochester's possession in nlidfield.

The contest livened up considerably in the second period, when the varsity oiled up ils air attack and rarried the ball from the center of the field over the visitors' line for the only score of the game. A pass from Dave Hummel to Al Weeks started the attack and put the varsity on llnmilton'a twenty-five-yard line. Pave Hummel went through the line for five yards and then Al Weeks shot a pass to Harry MacAnally over the line. Weeks kicked the. goal.

Fall With Passes, Both tennis showed an increase in fight at the beginning of the second half, but the varsity soon appeared unwilling to spend any unnecessary effort on the offensive. Hummel kicked oft to Fletcher to start the half, and the Huff and Blue halfback ran the ball bark to the thirty-yard line. Fletcher gained a first down through the line and then threw a pass to McGriffcn for a ten-yard gain. Subsequent line bucks put the ball on the varsity's forty-yard line, but Pitkin was forced to punt when the Rochester defense tightened. Roland Fleming was thrown for an eight-yard loss when Price broke through on the twenty-yard line, and Hummel punted to his own forty-jard line.

Again the visitors opened np with an aerial attack, and Dave Hummel intercepted the first one, but waa called back when Linesman Howard decreed that Oscar Ioeser was off-side on the play. But the varsity seemed bent on having the ball, and on the next play "Punch" Op-penheimer dove nt Sterns so lustily that the Huff and Blue halfback was lifted high in the air and the ball rolled free. "Bolivar" Cnhill covered the fumble on the vnrsity's thirty-yard line and the Tel-low backs hammered at the Hamilton line for fifteen yards and then got tired and tried several passes that failed miserably.
