The Rochester forward wall spearheaded the Rlvermen's drive to touchdowns in the second and third quarters. End Chuck Gray recovering two fumbles, Guard Dick Bowllan grabbing another and contributing a pass interception and End Carl Wren turning in a brilliant performance through the bright, chilly afternoon.

Bowllan Sparkles Bowllan went in for Co-Captain Bob Branigan when the latter suffered a knee injury on the third scrimmage play of the game and checked in with a sparkling job against the bruising invaders. Branigan strained the ligaments of his left knee and may be out of action for next Saturday's Vermont game. He is in Strong Memorial Hospital. Sloppy ball handling marked the play of both teams, with the River-men recovering only one of their five bobbles while snaring three RPI fumbles two of those re coveries leading directly to Roch ester touchdowns and the third stopping a dangerous Rensselaer thrust. So evenly matched were the team that the margin of difference might be found in the superlative punting of Quarterback Jack Welter, who averaged 38 yards for his four boots, kicking out of bounds on the RPI 6 and 9-yard stripes on two of his kicks.

In addition, a 63-yard scamper down the sidelines by Welter with the opening second half kickoff put the Engineers in a hole from which they didn't recover until the Rivermen snared their second and winning touchdown. RPI Has Yardage Bulge tn grabbing their fifth victory in six starts that 13-12 loss to Oe-Pauw is the only blot on their escutcheon the Rivermen ground out 193 yards rushing, but RPI, combined 131 yards through the air with its ground gains, had a decided bulge in the yardage department. Each team had eight first downs. In addition to its two scoring drives, Rochester moved inside RPI's 20-yard stripe three times and inside the 30 on two other occasions, but was stopped cold by the invaders from Troy. RPI wasted two excellent scoring chances, as its vaunted ground offense, minus the line-blasting of injured Fullback Dean Armstrong, failed to click.

The Varsity launched its Initial touchdown drive late in the opening period when Gray pounced on a fumble by Halfback Art Beard on the Rensselaer 32. It took nine plays to score. Fullback Howie Hoesterey crashing the final foot for the tally. Dick. Garnish's 8-yard advance and a 7-yard jaunt by Dick Eden were the big gains in this march, following which Wren's conversion attempt was wide.

With Bob ieieri tossing one pass for 15 yards.

Late in the fourth quarter Cornell was down there a last time only to be tossed back. Wright had intercepted a Rossides aerial and lugged it back 45 yards to the 36. Babula made a sensational catch of a Dorset throw while lying on the ground to put the ball on the 14, then legged it to the 10 on an end run. But from there Cornell went backwards. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmiiiiiiiimiiiiimiimtiimimin Samuel D.

Kiddie of Lexington and Philadelphia. Death brought an end to a threefold career. Starting in 1919 as a 2-year-old he won 20 of the 21 races he entered, established five -world record and retired after two yeara to become the leading' money winning sire of all time. His third career was to his public, who regarded his life as an open book. "Pops," the name the stable boys tagged him, had been ill since last summer.

Patrick O'Neill, farm manager, eaid the horee "hadn't been right" for the last month. He suffered three attacks before his death. O'Neill said Man O' War will be Interred tomorrow in his private paddock at the base of a statue which will be erected. Riddle, who remained the horse's greatest fan, purchased him as a yearling. He paid the late August Belmont $5,000 for the son of Fair Play-Mahubah, Riddle Immediately foresaw the potentialities of his yearling and heaped attention upon him from the outset.

Man War repaid his owner winning 20 of his 21 starts and going undefeated as a 3-year-old. His lone defeat was by Upset in the Sanford at Saratoga. Man War recovered from a bad start and pulled out of close quarters in the stretch to come within a half-length of winning that one too. When Man War raced there was little or no betting. In the Belmont Stakes as a 3-year-old the odds closed at 1 to 100.

In nine of his 21 starts he carried 130 or more pounds and once carried 138. He raced at distances of five furlongs to a tool OVTR mile and five-eighths and seemed to delight in outdistancing his foes. He once won a race by nearly a quarter of a mile. Hanaicappers consistently as signed high weights to him and this was one of the reasons Riddle retired him. "I was told," Riddle once said, "that he would carry more weight than any other horse had ever carried before.

I knew such weight would break down his legs so I retired him." Man War's get earned in the neighborhood of $3,250,000, and five of them grossed more than $100,000 each. He sired foals by 386 mares. His last stakes winner was Fairy Manhurst out of Star Fairy, foaled in 1940. An internal hemorrhage in 1942 led to the big fellow being retired from the stud. Rut his public continued to visit him and more than 50,000 persons a year called at Faraway.

His late groom. Will Harbut, who was ever near the plutocrat of the pastures for 15 years, described him as the "mostest hoss in the world." But Harbut's illness broke up the "friendship" more than a year ago and a few weeks ago the groom preceded him in death, the victim of a stroke.

A crowd of 25,000 sat in mild autumn temperature and saw the Lions, instead of wnining through their famed aerial attack, doing it the "hard way," although it had all the appearances of being easy. Columbia ground out 58 yards for its first score from the opening kickoff. Gene Rossides faking a pass and running 11 yards around his right end for the touchdown. The Lions went to two more TD's after capitalizing on Lynn Dorset fumbles. Attempted Hand-olf One of the bobbles was in the first period on an attempted hand- off to Norm Dawson, Columbia then going 26 yards to the touch down that made it 13-0.

The other was late in the third period when Dorset was mobbed while trying to pass. The point of recovery was the Cornell 23 and it was from the 17 that Ventan Yablonski charged over. That put the game well out of Cornell's reach with a Lion lead of 22-0 with 17 minutes to play. Yablonski, who gained more yardage than any of his mates, 77 yards in 11 carries, added to his prestige with a field goal from the 17-yard line earlier in the third period. A Rossides to Bill Swiacki pass set it up.

It was one time when Columbia didn't score a touchdown when within striking distance. Cornell stopped the offensive on the 10, after it had gone 34 yards. The Columbia air game was limited to nine attempts. Of those, Rossidee had four completed for a net gainof 38 yards. Despite his two fumbles Dorset iiimri n-immur right, in first quarter of duel.

The Lions blanked the ml iiiwpiw Ill ii VJi TTrffifMiili mi Good Fit Means More-Comfort, Longer Wear wasn't the Big Red goat by any means. He was in there pitching all afternoon and kept Cornell in the fight with his 14 completions in 29 throws for a gain of 106 yards. His passing helped the ground attack roll up 155 yards. Cornell was behind by two touchdowns before Dorset threw his first pass. Matt Bolger caught it to boost Dorset's perfect passing record to 13.

The next time he tried it he was rushed by End Adam Rakowski and his hurried heave was bobbled by Win Wright. Henry Briggs, husky right tackle, made Columbia's first important fumble recovery. When Guard. Charley Klemovich, in the first period, smacked Dorset as he wasi trying to palm off the ball Briggs landed on it on the Cornell 26. Jack Nork dashed around his right end for 21 yards to the 5-yard lirfe and went over from there on a burst through right tackle.

Red Reaches 1-Yard Line Cornell was on the 1-yard line late in the second quarter by virtue of Dorset's aerials. In a 62-yard march he completed four for 36 yards. Jack Rogers caught one on the 10. Columbia was penalized to the 1 for unnecesary roughness. But there the Lion forwards pushed Cornell back to the 6 to take over just before the half.

Bernie Babula, swift Cornell back, sped 44 yards to the Columbia 21 on a run around his right end as the second half began. Again the Lion line spilled Cornell runners for losses and stymied all pass attempts. Here, too, a Cor nell fumble occurred. Dawson lost the ball and George Kisiday re covered. Bob Russell then booted out of danger.

Boston University, in getting back to the win column at the ex- pense of the inferior Ram forces after absorbing successive drub- bings from Purdue and William and Mary, gave their supporters little to cheer except for a pair of lengthy runs by Hatch and reserve back Charley Brickley. While registering their unimpres- sive victory the Terriers rolled up 271 yads by rushing against 115 for the Rams, and made 13 first downs to nine for Fordham.
