DARTMOUTH AND COLGATE FIGHT i TO A DRAW, 7-7 i i Each Team Scores 1 Touchdown in Classic-Battlo at Hanover. YOUNGSTBOM THE STAB Big Green Aggregation Evens Count in Last Minute, of Contest.

Dr DANIEL 1 Hanovix, N. IL. Nov. 1. The thud of hoe against ths ball, a wild fighting scramble In Uie mud and the dusk, then suddenly ft flash and all Dartmouth went mad, end as Dartmouth Trent Into a delirium of exultation sturdy, alert, blond Toiing-strom, he whom they call 1 Swede, took his plaoe In the select circle of football Immortals of the Green.

Fighting with the Indomitable courage and berserker rage of his Viking forefathers as the shadows of defeat fast were engulfing the Dartmouth football team In Its struggle with the Colgate eleven the big guard delivered one swift stroke and the tide of battle turned. It was Toungstrom who with only one short minute more to play and the Colgate team apparently victorious by 7 to 0 crashed his way through the Maroon defence, blocked a kick by Webster and cooping up the mud caked leather ran. ten yards for a touchdown. And as men, women, boys and girls went wild Jim Robertson kicked the goal which gave Dartmouth a tie at to 7. Memorable Pintail It was a scene and a finish which none of the onlookers ever will forget.

Colgate, with Its line unchanged throughout the terrific contest, was howlng the effects of the physical strain of outfighting and outplaying the Dartmouth men when Dr. E. J. O'Brien, the referee, announced that there were only five minutes more to With defeat staring them In the face, the Dartmouth players fought until they could barely stand up. Crash after' crash sent the Colgate line reeling back under the Impact.

"Fight. fight, fight," Dartmouth throats yelled and Implored across the Meld to their standard bearers, and Dartmouth's team fought as only a 'lot of game men with their backs to the wall will fight Then suddenly the Colgate defenders struck back. Victory seemed to be theirs and they were "determined that nothing was to take It from them. Robertson tried a forward pass to make distance on the fourth down and the play was spoiled. It was Colgate's ball on Its own 16 yard mark.

Dartmouth seemed destined to be beaten In spite of all Its eleventh hour efforts. Hut fate still was to have her say. Two five yard penalties for off side placed Colgate In a position In which It was forced to punt and Webster went back to his own 10 yard line to do the kicking. As Webster got the pass from Woodman, Toungstrom dived Into that fighting mass. Right through centre he went smashing and on to the ball.

Webster hardly had time to get his toe to tho leather before Young-etrom pounced on him like a cat. In a trice the Swede had blocked the kick. nonnds Over' Goal Iilne, Then as the leather bounded away he was on It, gathered It Into his arms and was off for the goal line, with ten Dartmouth fighters struggling to keep eleven Colgate men from stopping tho filing Swede. And they never did stop him. A couple of tacklers got their hands on Youngstrom's shirt and a couple made frenzied flings at his lega But with 4,000 persons converting the hitherto peaceful scene amid the hills of New Hampshire Into a bedlam, the Swede touched the ball down behind the goal line and six points had been scored for Dartmouth.

Out came Robertson to make that effort on which hinged a tie or a defeat by a lone point. Robertson Kicks Goal. Carefully Robertson poised the ball. He looked over and under It and on both sides of It. He was not satisfied.

Again he placed the leather just the way he wanted It The wild crowd suddenly had calmed down, over the fleld hung a hush as thick as the dead calm over the Styx. Robertson was In no hurry to make that try for goal on which so much depended, but Anally he did let his too go against the leather. Like somo ponderous, slow moving bird the' ball railed Into the air and In spite of all of Robertson's precautions the leather went straight for the right goal post. It hit the wood and as Dartmouth adherents sat with their hearts In their mouths the fickle leather decided it would go to the left and to the left and over the bar It fell, giving Dartmouth a seventh point and a tie. In their first meeting here In October, H15, Colgate, through the herculean efforts of Runge and Castleman, defeated tho Dartmouth eleven, whloh Included such stalwarts as Ralph Glaze and McDovItt Not since that afternoon In 1905 had the Oreen been beaten on Its homo fleld, and to-ntght that splendid record of fourteen years stands Ir.violato.

It was a hard game for Colgate to see fljlng from Its grasp this evening. Had It possessed a drop kicker It probably would have won by a couple of field goals. From start to finish It was a bruising, umashlng struggle. In wh'ch tho line smashing abilities of tho Colgate backs, with Hank GUIo In the van. and the remarkable sturdlnesa of the Maroon forwards, from tackle to tackle, gave Colgate a strong advantage.

While the Colgate line In general1 was outplaying the Dartmouth front bulwark by a big margin, the Maroons' ends were not equal to the task of stopping period icai runs around them and It was through these end runs that the Oreen waa able to make appreciable gains.

Special Despatch to Tax Sex. Providence, R.

Nov. 1. With Ack ley and Robertson In the leading roles Syracuse outplayed Brown to-day and won, 13 to 0. The first score came at the very close of the first half when Ackley drop kicked a goal from tho 28 yard line. Syracuse scored a touchdown early In the third Ackley going over the line and afterward kicking the goal.

In the fourth period Ackley made a placement goal frqm the 40 yard line. A wet field hampered tne play. Syracuse, with a heavy line and fast backfleld, outplayed Brown from every angle of the game. With the line opening up huge holes the Syracuse back-field ploughed Its way down the fleld several times to the 10 or IB yard line. but except when Ackley went over the Brown line stiffened and held for downs.

The meet consistent ground gainer of the afternoon was Ackley. He had an uncanny way of shaking off tacklers and was exceptionally speedy. He held his feet well on the slippery field. Robertson stood out head and shoulders above his teammates. He was not only a power on the offenos and defence but his leadership of the linesmen aided In no small way.

Alexander also showed up well. Drown Malcei Game Flatit. Although the Brown team had no offensive power Its defensive work against a much heavier and more experienced lino was worthy of note. It broke up 'Syracuse plays many times, especially In the second and fourth periods. Williams and Oullan were the outstanding stars, with Captain Nichols and Emery also playing strong games.

Williams was a deadly tackier. He stopped many of the plays back of the Syracuse lln His work down tho field under punts was superb. He never missed his man, and usually dropped In his tracks. Oullan was Juut behind In this work, and showed both offensive and defensive strength to a degree that no other Brown man displayed. Ackley and Emery had a punting duel during tho whole four periods both averaged close to fifty yards, with plenty of height No fumbled punts were recovered by either team.

Nov. 1. Princeton followers found some slight balm after tho varsity's defeat at the hands of West Virginia to-day In the victory of the freshman eleven over the Yale freshmen, 22 to 0. The game was hard fought and the battle raged back and forth until the last quarter, when the Tiger cubs came to life with a start and registered three touchdowns, chiefly through the brilliant Individual play of Kuwere. During the first half neither was able to make very great headway on the offensive, although Princeton three times had chances to score and outplayed their New Haven rivals.

Holmes missed two attempts at field goals and then finally In his third effort raised one over tho goal posts from the 35 yard mark. Tho half ended with the scoro 3 to 0 In favor of Princeton. The third quarter was a punting duel, with Holmes having a slight advantage. At the start of the fourth quarter a boot from his toe carried the ball to the Yale 2 yard, line. The visitors punted out to Euwere, who received the ball on Uie 40 yard line and carried the ball back In a brilliant twisting run for a touchdown.

Led by Bill nodgers. 198 pounds of bulldog aggressiveness and greyhound speed, the Mountaineers threw the Tigers into a panic with a splendidly executed forward passing nt-tnck In the first and final periods here on a wnter logged gridiron to-day, four I times crossing tho necred white Nassau goal line and rolllng.up a 25 to 0 score.

He battered his way through Princeton's centre, knlved twlxt tackle and end and skirted the I flanks for comfortable gains repeatedly. It was' his accurately hurled forward passen, however, that tied the most knots in the Tigers' tall. Had not Rodgers suddenly collapsed I at the start of the second period and required the' attention of the doctors un til tho final quarter started, when he again returned to tho fray, the triumph of the Mountaineers would have been an even more sweeping one.

Action Starts Qntcltly. Rodgers hurled his first barb Into the flanks of tho Tigers In exactly one minute after the first throwing out of the skirmishing lines. It wan a forward pass I to linger, twenty-three yards from Princeton's 46 yard line to the 19 yard line. Another forward pass netted seven yards and then In four smashes at the lino Rodgers went over for tho touchdown. The first touchdown was scored In the first two minutes of play.

Four minutes Uter, chiefly through a fifteen yard end skirt by Rodgers, followed by another brilliantly executed forward pass, the Mountaineers bagged their second touch- I down. Rodgers kicked goal and ran West Virginia's score up to 13. Before the first period was over the Mountaineers chief again drove a thrust straight Into the vitals of the Tiger, an eighteen rard forward pass-to Iragor turning the trick.

He was brought to and fought hard to resume play, but Coach Mclntyre and the doctors would not permit It. The Mountaineers' leader was assisted to he sllellnes, and Neale, a Dt-omer of "Greoay" Neale, tne Cincinnati outfielder and former collegiate gridiron star, took his placo In the Vir ginia backfleld, with h.ti. With Rodgers out of the battle front Princeton held the Mountaineers In check during the remainder of the second pe riod and third period. At the start or the final quarter a wild roar from the Virginia section signalled the return of Rodgers to tho fray. Once again he proved Princeton's Nemesis.

Princeton faced West Virglna with four of the Tiger regulars missing from tho lineup. 8trublng nt quarter was the only regular Princeton back who was In harness, and "Stan" Keck'B placo at left tackle was filled by Capt McOraw, who war moved over from guard, Morgan taking McOraw's old placo next to centre. If Princeton's three absent backfleld regulars had been tn tho lineup the Tiger might have scored, but that by no means is certain. The three back-field men, however, would have added little defenslvo strength, and the lineup the Orane and Black will fnco Harvard with next Saturday probably would be Just ob Ineffectual against Rodgers and Virginia's forward passing attack as the Tiger proved to-day. The game emphasized tho fact that Princeton haB a crude defenso against the forward pass and that a good aerial attnek by Harvard Is likely to wreak havoc next week.

Colgate's) forward passing bothered Princeton last week, and Virginia's aerial manoeuvres bewildered the Tlgorto-day. Is encouraging to the Princeton supporters, how-ever, that Harvard's forward passing Is not up to Colgate' standard, and cer tainly far less effective than the brilliantly executed aerial attack with which tho mountaineers backed tho Tigers dcwii the field to-day. Tluers Forward Paiiea Full, Aa regards the forward pass, Princeton waa offensively ns weak as defen-rlvely, as the Tigers tried fourteen passes and failed to complete a single ono. On the other hand, Virginia's ten out of eighteen netted a total of 137 yards. The Tigers' lone source of Joy lay In the punting "of Scheerer, who In both distance and accuracy showed himself to be a remarkable booter.

Even on the slippery field his puntfl averaged more than 50 yards and ho got two awny for 65 yards. Standing on Princeton's 45 yard line in the second quarter he booted 65 yards' against tho wind across the Virginia line. It was a remarkable punt. Strublng was well covered by the Mountaineers, and the slippery and elusive Prlncetonlan seldom wnti allowed to break free. Murrey, at left halfback, showed flashes of brilliancy, but like the rest of the Princeton backs he was handicapped by the Tiger forwards being outplayed by the Mountaineers' lines men.

Special Despatch to Tna Sun. West Point, N. Yr, Nov. 1. Coming from behind in the lost two quarters of a game played In a rainstorm and a- sea of mud, the Army eleven smashed Its way to victory over Tufts to-day, 24 to 13.

The Medford collegians tossed a bombshell Into tho Army camp during the first period, when they turned two Army fumbles Into touchdowns, from which one, goal was kicked, giving them a 13 point lead before the soldiers actually caught their breath. The soldiers, holding Tufts rather cheaply, flashed their second string men in the lineup at the outset and before the substitutes could get their bearings the collegians had sounded the scoring gong twice. After the Initial period several army varsity men were thrown Into battle, but It woe not until the beginning of the second half that the entire big team made Its appearance. From that moment on Tufta was on the defensive. The visitors fumbled on their first lineup after the opening klckoff and Keefer recovered for the4 soldiers on Tufts's 30 yard line.

At the very first lineup Army's pass was" bad and Macchla, for Tufts, picked up the ball and raced 66 yards for a touchdown, Thornton kicked goal. A moment later, after an exchnnge of punts. Army secured the bnll nt mid-1 field, but fumbled on the first lineup and Oommell for Tufts ran to the soldiers' 6 yard line before being downed. Smith went over for a scoro on the second play. Tho goal was missed.

The elevens fought evenly throughout second period. In the third period nr after McQuarrle had punted over Tufts's goal line the ball was brought out to the visitors' 20 yord line. Here Tufts at tempted an Illegal substitution and was penalized ten yards. Thornton kicked to Gregory at mldfleld and from there the Army pounded Its way to a score, McQuarrle going through left tackle for the score ana' booting the goal a moment later. At the opening of the fourth quarter Wllhlde heeled a catch on Tufts's 44 yard line and McQuarrle kicked a placement goal from this point.

Byers fell on a fumbled ball on Tufts's 30 yard line a moment Inter and McQuarrle rushed through a hole opened by Daniel for a touchdown, kicking the goal also. Tufts lost tho ball on downs In the last minute of play on Its own 15 yard line aftor three fruitless trials at air line plays. From hero the Army smashed through for the final score, Lystad going over and McQuarrle kicking goal.

Joy supreme through the classic halls of tli Pennsylvania State Colleto while the gloom' that hangs over the) luuuwcrs ox me university or i'ennsyi vanla Is thicker than the proverbial London fog.

This situation Is a squel to the splendid victory of the Stats gridiron warriors over the Red and Blue which has now been writ In history to the tune of 10 to 0. It was a case of the younger brftther rising In oil his might and smiting the elder son of the gridiron household of Father Bill Penn, snatching from hint the football birthright. For, though the victory cannot hoist the Blue and White forces Into the van of claimants for premier honors of tho season. It sullied the record of the Red and Blue, forcing It to Join the spacious ranks of those who have taken the count even thus far In the season. i Weather conditions were abominable from the standpoint of both players and spectators.

With the field already damp and treacherous from earlier rain a slow drizzle began Just before tho contest opened up. Prior to tho main attraction preliminary trick In the way of a freshman game was offered, and by the time the cubs flnlehed their little frolic the field was a mess. Field In Dud Shape. The additional moisture made bad matters worse, and by the time the real show had. been under way for a half hour two-thirds of the surface of the field was mellow and slippery.

These conditions had their part In the feature happenings of the game, though there Is little reason for believing that they cut any big figure In the ultimate outcome. Fumbling and poor punting led chiefly to the critical situations that developed and did much to account for the scoring. Such conditions paved the way for fulsome speculation on what might have been. It Is rather difficult to figure that a dry field and more favorable setting would have encouraged the chances of either team over that of the other. State 'earned the victory whether the measure of merit be that of making breaks for Itself or in taking advantage of those by their opponents.

In the early stages the Red andi Blue flashed to the front as the aggressor, and throughout the first period Fol-well's men looked like the more formidable outfit. But as the melee wore on Bezdek's charges rallied from their tern- porary defensive position, charged for ward nnd began to make the bs'tllng themselves. Therein they flashed Into view for the entertainment of the crowd some very substantial football both offensively nnd defensively and Invited attention to tho Individual prowess of some three of four agile young men whose work was worthy of the highest praise. Hnrry Itnlib Stars. Some of them are outstanding figures In football doings of former years, while others were making their first bids for fame.

Harry Robb, who starred ns a member of the student army training corps nt Columbia last fall, working on the quarterback Job, added a bit of lustre to his already sparkling record. Bob Hlgglns, veteran end and All-American selection, behaved for all the world like his reputation would warrant. But In addition to this pair at least two or three more of the victorious forces displayed stuff that means more room In the gridiron spotlight for them from now on. Consider the case of young Mr. Conoyer, who snaps the ball at centre when not otherwise engaged.

This youth 'gathered In the pigskin ofter a disastrous fumble by Brunner Just two yards short of Penn'B goal line, thereby laying the foundation for a touchdown, which resulted a bit later Also the work of Brown nt left end was something of revelation. With the able assistance of Ben Cubbnge, a Phila delphia lad, young Brown, was not long In convincing the Penn backs that strolls In his general direction were costly and unrrofllablo enterprises. Only once or twice during the entire conflict did Penn manage to turn Brown's flank for any gains at all and tho debit side of the ledger on such attempts stood out notably. As though It wero to prove an 111 omen, tho toss of the coin went against Capt. Bert Hell of Penn for the first time this season.

Hltrgtns elected to defend the west goal. It Miller kicked off for Penn and the frolic waa on The Red Hiid Blue defence held vigorously from the start and State was unable to make any Impression In Its attempts at rushing. State Soon Kick. Hlgglns soon saw the futility and punted. Penn shot a thrill through the crowd with sprint of eighteen yards by Hobey Light, right off the bat.
