Smith the Works. Rothstein, Georgia fullback, Vernon Smith, left end; Waugh, back, and Downes, quarterback, were Georgia's stars. Booth, whose sensational returns of kicks were somewhat subdued this afternoon by the splendid Georgia forward wall, was the star for the Elis, both on offense and defense.

Oct. 12 (VP). Playing their third straight inter-sectional game of the season, Colgate scored a ol 0 victoiy over Jim Crowley's Michigan State Spartans here today. The Maroon team displayed a strong attack, which was featured by the brilliant running of Tommy Dowler. The stellar Colgate half back skirted the visitors wings for half a dozen long runs.

Colgate scored soon after the start of the game. An exchange of punts put the ball on the Maroon 30-yard line. Three line plays gained a first down am: Hart followed with a beautiful 47-yard run. On the next play Dowler ran 20 yards to a touchdown. In the second period Colgate ran its total to 19 by virtue of Dowler's second and third touchdowns.

A blocked punt by Gillson gave Colgate the ball deep in the Spartans' territory and paved the way for the second score. Kerr threw his second and third string men into the game in the second half.

in the third quarter was goaded into desperate passing in their own territory. Pickles (it's so much easier to call him that) intercepted one of these in mid-field. Two Maroon passes, an exchange of punts, and we have Conway chucking to Elcewicz from midfield. In a mob of Violet tacklers, this chap speared the leather on the 15 yard line, fought himself loose in a berserk fury, bowled over the N. Y.

Pickles snatched another on the enemy's 36 yard line and then it was Fisher to Pickles for 21 yards, Fisher to Elcewicz for 12 and then Conway through the line for three yards and a touchdown.

It all seemed simple and probably the University Heights fellows don't understand it yet. Again it was Pickles' alertness that led to the fourth touchdown. He intercepted this time on the 28-yard line, and the next pass went Murphy to Davisr for 25 yards. Then Murphy circled end for the score. a small-sized riot at the Eighth avenue entrance when throngs of fans found the low paid bleacher seats filled three-quarters of an hour before game.

A hundred cops quieted this skirmish and stayed to see more action in the battle of the goal posts. I'ickles the Star. Fordham had so many people on the field who could throw- forward passes and catch them that picking the star of the lot is hardly fair. But Charley Peculewicz eimply has to top the list whether or not his name is spelled right. This Pickles lad was all over the field.

He personally seized four Violet forward passes. Capt. Tom Siano grabbed another, and halfback Jimmy Murphy also intercepted one. Murphy, with quarterback John Fisher, Bill McMahon and Johnny Conway did most of the pitching for Fordham, and there were no complaints about their control. There a pass just before every one of Fordham's four touchdowns.

Three times it was a Violet pass that back-fired and nestled in the arms of a brown-clad Fordhamite.
