Cornell's defensive troops deserve a big share of the laurels in this one, too.

When It came to entering Cornell territo-y, Colgate repeatedly ran into a no-passing sign. In all, the Raiders were limited to a paltry 17 yards through the air, 71 on the ground. It marked the first win over Colgate since 1953 for Cornell, which suffered disastrous seasons the last two years. The Big Red had not won an opener since '55. First Ilalf Scoreless Neither team could dent scoring terrain in the first half, with Cornell fizzling out mostly with frustrating drives into the meat of the line.

The Big Red played most of the first half between the Red Raiders' 20 and 40-yard lines. Colgate was even worse in the initial half, trying no passes and advancing only as far as its own 42-yard line. Furthest advance by the Raiders in the entire game was to the Cornell 49.

Lawrence University today as the By GEORGE BEAIION Democrat and Chronicle Sports Writer SYRACUSE, Sept. 27 A veteran Syracuse eleven, hopeful of regaining the Eastern championship it re linquished last year, refused to be rattled hy a 14-point first quarter debit today and relentlessly rolled up four touchdowns for an eventual 24-14 triumph over a completely luckless Boston College the field, and drizzling continued throughout most of the game, making footing uncertain. Despite such poor playing conditions, Cornell almost connected on fwo scoring chances in the first half. In the first quarter one of Cornell's best backs today, Terry Wilson (83 yards in 14 carries) sprinted 39 yards over the goal line but was flagged down because of a Big Red penalty. Field Goal Fails Then, just as the half was ending, Cornell quarterback Tom Skypeck tried a field goal from the Colgate 30, the ball just falling short.

The game livened up considerably for the 12,000 hardy spectators in the second half when Cornell struck for its two touchdowns. Switching its slot-T attack from inside to outside running, the Big Red churned out steady gains against the heavier Raider line. First score came at 9:18 of the third period when Skypeck wriggled through Colgate from the Raider 4 line.

A fumble recovered on the BC 25 set up the first and decisive of these scores, and the ensuing kickoff fumbled by the Eagles paved the way for the insurance score only 22 yards from Syracuse's goal with 7:16 left to Play. I This was a game in which nearly every score was influenced by breaks. After the first period, however, BC saw most of them go the other way, and when the Eagles lost Allard it was obvious even to their staunchest rooters that Syracuse's superior depth should prevail. It was BC 6, Syracuse 0 after two minutes as Allard caught a partially blocked punt and went 45 yards unmolested. Nine minutes later Allard fired to Jim Colclough for 39 yards overall and another TD.

This time BC's Jim Duggan ran the ball over for a two-point conversion and a 14-0 bulge that stunned the Orange rooters. Syracuse's line toughened up in the second quarter and fin- ally got its offense untracked for the only solid scoring drive by either side all afternoon. OiiartorharV Thtipk Zimmerman pitched out to Tom Stephens for an 11-yard scoring thrust to climax a 69-yard drive that needed 10 plays and cut the BC lead to 14-6 at the hall. Poirier limped off the field several minutes before the intermission, and with only 21 sec onds to play in the half Allard, throwing deep, was rushed hard and came up on one leg. He suffered strained ligaments of the right knee, and BC may have suffered the most crippling single injury of the young season.

Syracuse guard Al Benecick i blocked a punt on BC's 32 and Zimmerman scooped up the ball and raced into the end zone after only 2:12 of the third period to bring Syracu firmly back Into contention at 14-12. Third string Eattfe signal caller Johnny Amiable Ate, then fumbled as he tried to pass from his own 25 early in the fourth quarter, and this one, recovered by tackier Ron Luciano, set up the decisive score -for the Orange. Zimmerman clicked on a key fourth down pass to reach the 15, and then on fourth down from the six he handed off to Dick Reimer who burst through the right side for the lead touchdown at 18-14. On the kickoff that followed sub tackle Bob Yates recovered the BC fumble on the 22. After four plays Zimmerman flipped to Reimer in the end zone for the score that locked up the opener for the Orange.

Syracuse showed a definite pass defense weakness throughout the sec- Continued on Page 5B College yesterday afternoon noon at Fauver Stadium. Only four fumbles and 130 yards in penalties against Elmer Burnham's eleven prevented the game from being a complete rout. Allegheny, play-in? its first game under Coach John Chuckran, never had possession of the ball within the Yellowjacket 30-yard line and netted only four first downs and 102 yards rushing. The Rivermen with halfback John Parrinello scoring twice and gaining 87 yards in 14 carries, rushed for 264 yards and picked up another 93 through the air. George Salemi scored the other Rochester tally.

VR Line Superior A big factor in these onesided statistics was the superiority of the Rochester line. Opening huge holes on offense and breaking into the 'Gator backfield repeatedly, the Yellowjacket linemen completely outplayed the Allegheny forward wall. With the game only five and a half minutes old, Parrinello, leading scorer last year with eight touchdowns, scored his first 1958 touchdown. Allegheny took the opening kickoff to its 26, and, after Chauncey Mann had made two nine yard runs off tackle on crossbucks, the offense stalled. John Arcuri's kick wan blocked by soph end Fran Caravaglio and Jerry Winter recovered on the Alle- Af.

th. io Campbell had carried to the 19, ene Nwandn. uf going around right end. He reached the two yard line before being forced out of bounds and, after a five-yard penalty brought the ball to the 7, Parrinello carried it over in two plays. Continuous Threats Penalties and fumbles did more damage than the Gator line for the rest of the half as the Yellowjackets threatened continuously but were not able to score until two minutes be fore halftime.

With the ball on the Rochester 38, Allegheny quarterback Dick Buerger flipped a quick pass over center intended for Arcuri. The ball, however, bounced off the Gator end's hands and up into the air and Parrinello grabbed it. With the aid of a key block by Larry Palvino, the fleet junior halfback raced 71 yards down the right sidelines for his second score. Again Walt Campbell added the extra point on a placement Though it did not result In a score, George Hole came up with a spectacular play just before the half ended. Back to punt on fourth down, he got a high pass from center and, unable to kick, maneuvered Continued on Page 6B Game Statistics ALLEGHENY ROCHESTER First downs 4 18 Rushing yardage.

Coach Ben Schwartzwalder's Orangemen needed every break in the book to prevail over an Eagle eleven that was primed to upset the six-point favored Syracuse. As matters turned out, an injury to quarterback Don Allard, one of the great stars of BC's gridiron history, probably turned the tide against the visitors in this fumble-strewn action. Allard, regarded as definite All-America potential, suffered a knee injury late in the first half, was helped off the field, and didn't return except in civilian clothes to watch the second half from the sidelines. Another front line Eagle, act ing captain and center Cliff Poirier, spearhead of a forward wall that all but buriei Syracuse in a lopsided first quarter, also was injured in the first" half and never re-esiered the game.

These bad breaks for Boston College, coupled with five Eagle fumbles that were recovered by an alert, hard-hitting Syracuse line that rebounded nicely and proved much deeper than the losers, combined to avert defeat for the Orange. Syracuse clicked for the third the Larries a 20-7 football ceiving Yelas' .32 yard aerial.

Nittany Lions Trounce Penn Gridders, 43-0 Financial Rochester, N. Sept.23, 1958 Hallas Leads Yale To Win Over Conn. By LOU BLACK Associated Press Sports Writer NEW HAVEN, Sept. 27 (iP) An explosive 79-yard run by Herb Hallas paced Yale to an opening 8-6 victory over a stubborn University of Connecticut football team in the Bowl today. Hallas tallied in 2:16 of the first period and for most of the rest of the time the Blue found itself fighting desperately to protect its lead.

Connecticut managed to score with only two minutes left to play when Harry Drivas tossed a 14-yard pass to Norm thaban. Another pass for the extra point failed. Connecticut, a Yankee Con ference powerhouse, threatened to score at least six other times. The closest it came to scoring was in third period, when Yale's stubborn line turned back the Huskies only inches from the goal line. The Blue forward wall stopped three rushes and broke up a pass within the four-yard line.

-The crowd of 22,158 that sat in a drizzle and occasional showers, got many a thrill out of the hard-fought battle in which Yale managed to keep two winning streaks alive. The victory was Yale's 10th in a row over Connecticut and its 78th straight over State college rivals. Art LaVallie scored the two extra points for Yale on an end run after the touchdown by Hallas. Connecticut 0 0 0 66 Yale 8 0 0 08 Connecticut Chabin 14 pass from Drivas (pass failed). Yale Hallas 79 run (LaVallie.

Hobart pounced on a St. Lawrence bobble in the opening minute of play and scored seven plays later with Yelas sneaking over from the 3 to climax a 30 yard drive. A 28 yard pass and run play from Yelas to Dahowski set up the Statesmen's second score after the Larries fumbled on the 32.

Stuart Cook plunged into the end zone from the one. Dahowski ended the day's scoring when he went over after re- plunge to wind up a 47-yard drive.
