-a1-1 un un mi i.i'-"-'-"inrTT?"-i I iTJIill Harvard Defeats Centre, 24-10, Thus Winning Odd Game of 3-Year Series With Southerners Losers Make 16 First Downs While Crimson Gets Only 7 Colonels Also Feature With New Lockslep Shift and Outplay the Crimson in Second Half; Strong Start of Fisher's Pupils Settles the Battle By W. B. Hanna BOSTON, Oct University and Centre College clashed again at football in the Stadium this afternoon, and Harvard won by a Fcoro of 24 to 10. The series, therefore, goes to the Crimson, who beat the lada from the Blue Grafs two games of three. Th? third game, as a spectacle, was the prize of them all.

Among other eventful thing? that happened were these: Centre made sixteen downs to Harvard'? seven, twice as many nnd two over; Centre gained the more ground in proportion to the of first downs and Centre brought into operation a striking nov? elty the form of a Une shift, quickly not inappropriately dubbed the loekatep shift. The unique maneuver puzzled and forced back Harvard for many yards, yet the paramount fact remained that Harvard won the game by a score of 24 to the reason therefore was strong, smooth playing in the first period, while the Harvard first string players were still on the field of battle. Strong in Second Half Harvard did not keep her first string troops in the game throughout, but sent some of them back from time to time, yet no matter who was in, Centre made her big effort in the second half and distinctiy and dizzily outplayed the Crimson after the gladiatorial bands went to it in the second act. Harvard made two touchdowns ir. the first period, one through a dispen? sation of fortune which gave her the hall on a fumble between the Contre 6-yard line and the goal.

With thai fortuitous break under her belt, Har? vard went out and got another touch? down while the game was yet green; that is, before the first period was Before the second period was over Centre and Harvard both made three points on drop kicks, and then there was no more scoring until Centre put the capsheaf on a long, cleaving drivo by shooting the small, agile and en? suring Co diagonally over the line for a in the fourth period. So went a game of long ground gain? ing drives, of stout heart and cool courage by Centre, which refused to be routed. To rally the way the Ken tuckinns did with nothing but defeat ahead, after a ragged start, was re? markable. The harmony, finish and clean hard hitting offense of Harvard was tho real thing in football attack while it lasted. It was enough and to spare to make the game safe for Har? vard.

Formations well carried out, much high grade football, but with frequent fumbling to take some of the shine off it; free, bold running, excellent team play by Harvard's sterling defensive stands when the goal line was threat? ened and quick, wide changes in terri? tory entertaincd the 50,000 spectators till tho time. Centre's peculiar and frequently ef? fective variation of the line shift was forced into the light of public exhibi? tion. Harvard Scores Early Harvard got away to a flying start Making a touchdown with not mor? than a minuto of the game havinj been played. It was an upsetting oc eurrenee right at the start and Centn had to cut loose with all she had ant cut loose early if shs hoped to bea; Harvard, for it was evident the Crim son was strong and out to win quicklj decisively. It was early in the first period tha the lecksten shift was paraded befor? the wondering eyes of the enemy an? the spellbound spectators.

Harvar? hud seven points and Centre had th? ball on Centre's 20-yard line. Coving ton and Red Roberta? the bulwarks, th? mainspring! and the backbone of th? Kentucky attack, slit their way to thi 30-yard line, and then for the firs time the shift was unfurled. The Center forwards lined up, th snapper back placed the ball on th ground, the forwards then all arose an erect position and solemnly face squarely to the side line and began march in that direction. Each man' hand was on the shoulders of the ma ahead of him i.t).r"'hay foot and foot" they marched six slow, stops toward the side line, th bail all the while being on the groun? The Harvard men stood there as looking at some new animal in a zc and the public passed around the unai imous query: "What's this stuff What's coming oii here 7" llavir taken their six steps, the Center fo wards solemnly about faced and star hnck toward the other Eide Hi The. fans were puzzled and amused.

theatrical, but, as the people fou: out, there was a lot more to it th theatricaiig? a joke. In any eve it was something new. End Tuts Ball in Play The line marched back, until tho man Who was at the extreme end away from tl a ball was now right at it and the others all to his right. That is, the fnd became the man who put the ball in play and one end or the other did this every time. Hack of the linn men the four backs re grouped, sometimes in hollow Square formation, and on the word the end man nicked up tho ball and threw it diagonally backward to one of the backs, generally Roberts or Covington.

Tho very first time the play was used Covington holted through the puzaled Harvard defence, which was trying to out how to shift to meet it, nnd Covington made five yards, only to drop the ball when tackled. Tne variations of the play were nu? merous. It was even tried for the for? ward oass, but its oest results were ob? tained from running with the ball. Sometimes there was just one parade before the ball wa? snapped, sometimes two, sometimes three nnd once four. It was a time-consuming device, but nobody questioned its legality.

Hands wer? not always placed on the nest man's shoulders. the man behind took hold of the breeches band, sometimes they strode with at side, but usually hands were on shoulders In lock-step style, or what is known as the lock-step if there happens to be any such thing. Always the first parade consisted of alx steps. One of the reverse ones might be as many as fifteen steps? that depended on the commanding gen? eral. Part of this was, of cource, mer? bluff, but when the business part of it did begin it was a formation that al? ways required the utmost Harvard vig? ilance and activity to combat it.

It was difficult to tell where it was going to strike. It gained a great dealt it was checked splendidly by Harvard -once when the latter, goal line was not twelve yards vay, and it cat a lot of figure in keep? ing Hsrvaid on the defensive in the second half of the game. Yet the se? quence of which ended in a Centre bogen with running a punt back to Bar? 37-yard mostly run fr? formation.

kick-off to Covington, who was flopped at the 20-yard line. On the second rush Snowday fumbled the ball. It bounced toward tho sida line and angled back toward Centre's goal, A frantic pursuit wound up with Fitts getting it on Centre's four-yard line. Tho scrimmage worked the ball toward the goal posts and Owen on the next one bucked center for a touchdown. He just did make it.

Buell kicked the drop kick. In the proceedings immediately en? suing a fumble by Chnpin was re? covered by Kubale. Kubalc, Covington and Roberts were the Centre stars of the day. The of work they did nnd did well wa3 enormous. Owen, Churchill and Gherke played strongly for Harvard and most of the Crim? son backs were good ones.

They were fast, determined and the co-operation between them and their forwards was noticeably good. Harvard, while the mood was on her and before Centre got going, played mid-N'ovember football. Harvard had a delayed run which fooled Centre and netted good gains. The Crimson deception was artful and well carried out. Centre was out? classed in the first half.

From a Centro punt to the 50-yard line Harvard set out for Centre's goal and didn't stop until she arrived thero. Gherke opened with dashes of seven and eight yards. Owen made eleven yards from kick formation, then ad? vanced on a crossbuck. It went on that way, with slashes outside tackle to slams at the middle, and Gherke a touchdown from a two-yard plunge. Kicking goals for Bue.l was like pick? ing up pins, just as easy.

The third touchdown for Har? vard was after a march of thirty-four yards, which march was all one play. Buell threw a forward pass to who caught it for a ten-yard gain and without being tabbed, ran twenty-four more yards. Loses Ball Near Goal Line In the second period Centre carried the ball from her lino to Har yard's five and there lost it on downs. The shifts and the wiles went well until the Cambridge men felt their goal line at their backs, then they put on extra muscle and energy, ham? med in the Kentucky offensive, nnd cut it down without gain. As the ball stayed right there on the five-yard line with an unmistakable intention of go? ing no further, Covington stepped back to the fifteen-yard line and sent over a drop kick for three points.

Centre before the half ended had to defend her own goal line, and did it well. By now the finality punch was gono from the Harvard assault. The I old rip and tear wasn't there, and it, i seemed as if the wear and tear of bat tie told on the Crimson more than on else Harvard was saving herself all she could. A Harvard ad was smothered inside the 15 yard line, whereupon Pfaffman drop kicked a goal from the 21-yard line from a rather difficult angle. The second half was tha real fire wortt? and Vue time of the Kentucky Tho Southerners, their cloth oi-gold jerseys gleaming- in the filant san, dug in.

A long rnurch brought the ball to Harvard's half-yard line. i the Harvard center ana the hne rose up like a wave. Not an inch for Roberts. Covington tried it next, a shot at the Crimson's left wing. Nor an inch for Covington.

To Johnny Thurtnan and "Tex" Hamer go tho laurels of turning a threatened defeat into a victory. It was Thurman who raced down the field under a Hamer spiral in the fourth pe? riod and after it had touched a Gurnet back sped on until he was downed on the 11-yard line. That was the play that gave the comeback kick to Coach Heisman's team, which had been out? played the of the way. In five line smashes the mighty Hamer from had car? ried the ball over and In another min? ute changed joy to utter despair when he kicked a placement goal. Penn scored another touchdown in the dying minutsB of the gaine when George Sullivan got away from tho pack of Garnet defenders end squirmed six yards for a touchdown after his team n.

tes had helped in steady march from midfield. Again Hamer kicked a placement gonl. Swarthmore's long touchdown the one that looked all the world like the wining play of the game was by halfback Knapp on an onside kick In the third period. He stood back of Asplundh, the giant fullback, when the latter kicked on the fourth down and then raced down the field and pick? ing the ball on the run sped past the Penn backs, who were waiting for it to find a soft resting place. Asplundh failed to kick the placement goal.

The performance of the varsity this afternoon brought joy to the hearts of I the followers of Old Nassau, who now feel more hopeful of the important game with Alonzo Stagg's Maroon war Hors in Chicago next Saturday and the games with Harvard and Yale, which I are to follow. The two weeks of drill ing in the fundamentals of the game by Coach Bill Roper to charges scents to had good effect, and although there were still signs of greenness in the line, the stand against the Maryland attack was decidedly a great improvement over the i Colgate game.

CetrrtilL Im, Michigan Plays Smart Football And Overcomes Ohio State, 19-Q By Ray McCarthy COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. got sweet revenge on Ohio State here to-day. A year ago Ohio with a crack football team went to Ami Arbor and helped the Wolverines dedicate their stadium by winning a hard-fought gridiron battle.

To-day Michigan helped Ohio dedicate its new million-dollar plant, at the same time handing the locals a decisive defeat. The score of the game was 19 to 0. Fielding H. Yost is back once more with a real football team. Watch Michigan this year.

Michigan came here to-day bent on. victory. It had a fast, aggressive and' exceptionally smart football eleven, ono of the best Yost has ever turned out. Michigan was much lighter than its host and adversary, but it made up for that lack with speed, resourcefulness and alertness. Michigan to-day was one those teams that Is constantly on its collective toes.

It seized every opportunity Ohio pre? sented, meanwhile holding the heavy Scarlet jerseyed warriors at bay with a strtnch defense that refused to break oi bulge durine any part of the rittst. Michigan's victory, while extremely gratifying to its 20,000 supporters in the stand, was quite costly. In its superhuman efforts to obtain victory Michigan lost one of its great backs and a stalwart lineman. Both Itoby, who sustained a fractured leg, and Vandervo-ort, who broke his arm, will be out for the remainder of the sea? son Besides P.oby, Michigan had three men who were virtually a team in them" selves. Captain Goebel, the inspiring au? burn-haired leader of the Wolver? ines; Kirk, the former Notro Dame star, and Kipke, the slenderly-built, fleet-footed halfback, as a trio, were all over the entire new Ohio field, tackling furiously and effectively, urging their mates on with exhortations, beseeching and examples of sterling play.

They had splendid assistance, to be sure, from the eight others, but this trio stood out like the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. Captain Goebel was more than a leader to-day and an inspiration to his men. He was a knockout of defense and a stick of dynamite on the offense. We have never seen any better end play than he put on for the edification of this crowd of 75,000 or more. This sturdy warrior was laid oui four times, but always returned to his position and went ripping his way along as if he had just entered the fray.

Finally in the fourth quarter, after his team had piled up a lead of 16 points, the Michigan captain, receiv? ing a hard blow on the knee, was obliged to withdraw from the game. He received a tremendous ovation as he was carried off the field. Kipke, who weighs only a little more than 150 pounds, and Kirk took up the task of leading the team to sweet vic? tory. Uteritz, the Michigan quarter? back, another lightweight, deserves commendation also for the manner in which ho ran his team. Ohio State was in remarkable con? dition and were constantly fighting, but it3 line was sluggish and unable to cheek the lighter Michigan forwards who charged like wildcats.

State also made tho mistake of taking long chances in a desperate attempt to get on even footing with the visitors. Throughout the entire melee Work? man stood out as a great back. He was always cool and alert, and when the game had ended he was as fresh as when he had started, despite has har.l play. Michigan lost no time in taking offnsive. The Wolverines leaped out at the start like a pack of hounds scenting the trail.

Twice they began marching toward the Ohio goal lino, but on both occasions the locals held and forced the visitors to punt. Late in the first period Michigan got down to Ohio's 27-yard line. This time Cap? tain Goebel dropped back, and with the wind blowing from behind kicked a goal from placement. The Michigan leader didn't stop at that point, however. Early in the sec? ond quarter, when Ohio State had the ball and was endeavoring to push for? ward Goebel broke through and tackled Workman for a loss of flvo yards.

An exchange of punts followed Once more Ohio State started slowly up the field. Then came confusion in the signals. A fumble resulted. Goebel a panther leaping on its prev' and Pounced on the ball on Ohio's 20-yard line On the very first play Kip'ke on reverse and double pass play skirfd his own left end for a touchdown. The is an play, Goebel kicked Big Day for Yost Pop.

Still the locals persisted in throwing the ball. The Michigan backs moved up a little closer to line as Workman began shooting short, quick passes over the center of the line. Workman dropped back again to make a pass. This time he was unmolested. But as the ball sped from his hand Kipke, running like the wind, cut across, intercepted the pass while run? ning at full speed, then.dodged several tackles and swept over the goal line to another touchdown.

Goebel missed the goal. Late in the last quarter Kipke completed a perfect day's work by drop-kicking a beautiful field goal from Ohio's 30-yard line. The game itself, between two of the leading Conference elevens, was, of course, the main attraction, but thou? sands came here to-day in order to be able to sny they were in on the opening of Ohio State's $1,500,000 sta? dium; for every Ohioan takes great pride in the university's plant, as they call the stadium. The seating capacity is something like 65,000. There must have been at least 75,000 inside the gates looking at the game this after? noon.

Morris High Continues String of Victories With no goals scored against them thus far this season, the soccer players of Morris High School entered with confidence upon their P. S. A. L. match with De Witt Clinton at Crotona Park yesterday and kept up their record by defeating their rivals, 5 goals to 0.

At half time they had matters well in hand with a lead of Rubin shot the first goal within ten minutes of the start, and Krawitz put one in from the center twenty-five minutes later. Oft' a pass by Meyerowitz, Rubin again scored soon after the restart. The fifth goal resulted from Levin's effort from a pass by Schapiro. Crescent Soccer Team Easily Beats Canadians Despite a good showing during the first half of the game at Bay Ridge the soccer eleven representing the Royal Bank of Canada was defeated, 4 goals to 2, by Team of the Crescent Athletic Club, yesterday. Emerson and Clark shot a goal apiece for the visitors in the first half.

Facing a deficit of two points at half-time, the New Moon players braced up. Fleming and Thyre, with two goals each, monop? olized the scoring. Williams Harriers Win WILLIAMSTOWN, Oct. Williams its cross-country sea? son with a vic.eyy over Middlebury here to-day, the score being 23 to 33. Captain Fasce of the Purple harriers led the field across the tape, covering the course of a little over five miles in the time of 27 minutes 57 seconds.

Sanford, of Williams, was second, and Cook, of Middlabury, third. Bethany, With Two Minutes to Play, Beats Rutgers, 14-7 Special Dispatch to The Tribune NEW BRUNSWICK, N. Oct. Bethany proved itself at Neilson Field to-day as eleven men who didn't know how to loso. With less than two min? utes left to play and trailing Foster Sandof rd's hjg scarlet Rutgers team 6 to 7, the 200-pound cix-foot giants of the Bethany lino flattened the Rutgers for? wards, broke through and blocked a Rutgers pur.t behind the coal lino for a safety and the winning two points.

Then, not to be outdone by their line mates, the Bethany backfield, with something less than a minute left, snatched up the ball after countlcas fumbles by Rutgers and ploughed through for an extra touchdown just for good measure. Tho score was 14 to 7. In Loppacker and Kelly, the dodging, slippery halfbacks, and in Granfil, who plunges and surges through a line like a British army tank, Bethany gave the crowd of close to 8,000 something of the same thrills one Bo JVicMiUan I one Red Roberts produced three autumns ago. It would seem that real football players are being developed down there in the highlands of the Ap? palachians. Bethany played Rutgers off its feet to-day beyond any question, yet that important element of this season's point after a a point which Bethany missed in the second period, almost cost the far bet? ter team the game.

Rutgers demon? strated its famed attack only once. And that was when the touchdown wr.3 scored in the second period after a series of rushes from midfield. Other? wise Bethany had the ball practically all the time and in Rutgers territory, twice bringing it to the Rutgers one half-yard line, when the Scarlet stiff? ened and held for downs. However, it must be said that Rutgers was badly crippled to-day. With a patched up backfield, due to injuries, with no punter who could kick thirty yards, and with the losa of Captain Raub during the game, Rutgers was notably weak? ened.

Football Scores on Page One Hewitt's 80-Yard Run Enables Pitt to Beat Syracuse 2hl4 Score Is 14 to 14 With Only Three Minutes to When Panther Halfback Intercepts Forward and Stages Spectacular Run and By Grantlancl Rice SYRACUSE, Oct. heavy shadow still hangs aW Syracuae, with the ancient blight unbroken.

Out of the strife and turaw? of a ragged, rugged, bitterly-fought duel, before twenty-five thousand tators, who were keyed up to the breaking point, the Panther machine eam from behind, first tied up and then won a gam? where it never lookedIt have a chance. With the score well knotted at 14 and 14 in the final quarter and only; three minntes left for play in tho first fringes of October dusk, Orville Hewitt, tho 210-pound Pitts? burgh fullback, intercepted a forward pass from Simmons on his own 20-yard line to run eighty yards back to flying interference for the winning touch? down of the day. Tho pass that settled in Hewitt's nrnis and the thrilling run which fol lowing came as the most shock which great football crowd ever knew. For hero sudden and bit? ter defeat in place of victory which a beforo had only been a span away, defeat all the more bitter in view of the fact that Syracuse had been out? playing his hard-fighting opponent ail through the decisive period of the day and apparently was just upon the verge of cashing in this superior power when the bolt struck and onry a shattered dream was left as Hewitt, surrounded by his five mates, crossed chalk mark after chalk mark until he finally lanted the ball upon the fertile soil of victory. Orange Machine Buckles Once again it was the old, old story of a Pittsburgh team rising to it3 greatest heights against Syracuse as the Orange machine buckled up an ancient hoodoo that it can? not drive away.

The story of the closing moments of that fourth quarter makes one of the most spectacular pages in football his? tory. It was perfect drama, further embellished by the. incidents that had gone before. Pittsburgh had scored first early in the game largely through a Syracuse fumble in Syracuse terri? tory. Syracuse, with a fine rally, had swept back into the lead with two downs and a strong margin of safety, Whereupon Hoot Flanagan breaks into the Pittsburgh cast and, almost un? aided, ties up the score again with three great rushes down the field, the circling Jappe's end for a touch down.

With the score tied at two tench downs each and the fourth quarter jusl warming up the stage is now all set for the closing Syracuse drive and the well-earned Syracuse revenge for wha1 happened a year ago. After a briei flurry around midfield Bowman, the fieet'Syracuse back, whirls over to the right and shool3 a forward pass Zimmerman takes out of the air while traveling at top speed. Zimmerman, without slackening his paco for a moment as he takes the ball, swerves over to the left, with Flanagan cutting across to drive him out bounds. It is here a race for life and death, but at the last drive Flanagan barely managed to crowd his rival over the side lines just a stride from the goal. Once again Flanagan, the sub? stitue, had turned the tide.

He had scored one touchdown and had savec another brilliant offensive and defen? sive play. Panthern? Appear Doomed But even with this spectaculai Flanagan effort, Pittsburgh looks doomed, os Syracuse has the ball ot her five-yard line with downs to go Line attacks by Anderson and Bow man gain just three, yards, Pittsburgl has lost her last two games and she about to lose another, but her in domitable spirit fails to weaken in tht crisis. At this point Simmons rushei in to run the team and with one dowi left, in place of driving off tackle 01 the left side of Pittsburgh's line, th. weaker side, as his instructions an doubtedly were, he elects to send Bow man on a wide sweping end run arour.t Pittsburghs stronger side, where tin alert and certain Williams is on guard Bowman is thrown for a loss. Pitts burgh had shown no punter up to thi point able to kick a football thirt yards, but once more it falls upon th chronicler of events to toss the laure at "Hoot" Flanagan, who, standin back of his goal line, kicked fifty-tw yards on by midfield; the strong Syra cuse offensive is halted, but only fo a breath.

For, after a play or twe Bowman, the fleetest back on the fiele is shaken loose, escorted past th scrimmage line and left alone to his way. Bowman, once loose, started for th left, stopped, waited a moment to long after covering twenty-five yard; and was finally brought down on Pitt burgh's 18-yard line, where he migb have come much closer to a score using his great speed without a brea on a swerve off to the right. Eve as it was, Syracuse was still threater ing, still the dominant factor, still the verge of when a penalt set her back fifteen yards to the yard line. Here one forward pas tailed. Hewitt Starts Long Run On the next attempt Simmons pr.sse tar to tho of his line, off one side of the fie? whero Orvill liny Hewitt and five fleet, hush Fanthers were on the job.

The flew straight into Hewitt's grasp an there were but two rivals in the w. af wel1 guarded caravanser started on the long, long marc Ihese two Syracuse defendants wei quickly brushed asido and amid strained, tense silence, the silence agony shock, Hewitt crossed the lir and another Pittsburgh team had beate a Syracuse rival that looked to the-stronger machine. But of all tl games played between these old rivais, this was the toughest 01 that Syracuse ever lost, for she lost as she was in the act of winning, ar defeat which suddeni takes the place of expected victory always tho rawest blow the game hi to? offer those who follow its devioi and winding ways. As bitter as'the defeat came Syracuse, for Pittsburgh it must star as one of the golden days in her foo tall Beaten twice before in jr.st two starts, about to suffer a thii downfall, the quick change in the fick tide could only have followed one the most courageous goal defenses have ever seen. If the worn and weai Panther defense had weakened for ju? one fleeting second under that cuae offensive upon her goal line tl seven winning points would surely ha? fallen the othor way.

But that lat stand and the wonderful all aroui play of Flanagan brought her out the valley and left her sitting on tc of the world. Only a short dramatic step back tho stirring fourth quarter came tl drama of tho third, Pittsburgh, in tl first period by covering a fumble her 80-yard had oharg. through for two downs touchdown withht five minutes ef 1, After thin had tied th? In the second, and through tha running of Kellogg and a Psnthe-C ble had scored again at the third. KeUogg's here standing, and his final sweep end run over the line. This left cubo leading at to 7, with fading out of the picture.

Here a new entrr the struggle who was full of best looking back Pittsburtr. sent to th? field. Flanagan gained ten yard, acre on the next piay he threw A pass to who ran yards to the Syracuse line.

The game again had side down in a flash. On the next niiy the fleet and embattled Flanagan sweat far out to the right, circled at left end and ran over the line let touchdown that neid his clan in the fight where only a few playj brfor? the machine looked to be cram.iinr fast. Pitt on the Defensive But from that point on team carried the war into enemy coas try, threatening time after time until Simmon3's pass finally drifted Hewitt's arms for the one startling decisive stroke of a wild and harum scarum battle that nev-r lost intend until the end. The battle en both sida was full of fumbles, tactical blunden, poor punting by Pittsburgh (until FIsb agan arrived) and other ragged tunu, But it was also replete with jsn? brilliant passing, hard driving field play, fine individual work and more than the usual interest from start to finish in its see-saw drift. The crowd was the largest that ew saw en October game in the Archboli stadium.

The day was ideal, cloadlea and windless, and no two rivals ever fought a harder fight. Zimmerman'? early funible in his own territory ga? Pittsburgh her first chance, and sh? had the play? to take the bill over. was apparent then tbat Pittsburgh was! giving eveiything she had. Hop War? ner was away, ill with an attack ot ptomaine poison, and they were fight ing for Hop as well as for Pittsbarfh. Early in the second quarter Joiajoa made vain attempts to kick to ter? ritory from his own goal line, Irai bii attempts averaged less thaa twenty yards.

Anderson, KeBogg and Bowman kept driving away, with an occaniona! pass, until Anderson fsaMj crashed through for the first of ti? many tying scores. For Pittsburgh the big star of th? day was Hoot Flanagan. He was shining luminary on the field. But Williams at end also gave a great ex hibition that could not be overlooks! For Syracuse, Kellogg, Waldorf, bin and Culver did fine work, Zimmerman extremely useful in reced? ing forward passes from any on the field. Waldorf and Starobia proved to be two strong tackles.

But the Syracuse "end play was etffi off and there was a decided weakne? again on the part of its in taking t.acklers out of the play, it the two teams played to-day Syrern? looked to be the stronger machine, bs. the margin wasn't great enoujb make up for an intercepted fcnsaid pass and vn eighty-yard run over line.
