  PLAYS COLGATE 7 TO 7 TIE ball field nothing is to be taken for granted. The scoring Of the Colgate touchdown | and the incidents which led up to II were | similar to those which figured in the | to o victory over Princeton last Saturday. At Princeton 1t will be remembered that poor punt by Trimble put the Maroon in a position to strike directly at the Tiger goal line. And this after | noon 1t was a wretched punt by Rob- | ertson which put Colgate in a position favorable TO- successful assault on the | Green’s goal line. 1t was shortly after the start of the game that Laird of Colgate was called on to kick and he sent the ball to Dart mouths eight yard line. where Jack Can nell was downed in his tracks. 1t was altogether too deep in Dart mouth territory for the Green to take any chances with the soggy ball. so Robertson dropped back to punt. He kicked out Of bounds on Dartnouth’s 20 yard mark his kick went only nineteen yards and Colgate was in a position to threaten the Dartmouth goal mighty seriously. Colgate Team fixhts Hard. Laird hit off let tackle for fve yards and Colgate was on the Green’s II yard mark. Gillo smashed through centre for seven yards, and It was first down on the Green’s 10 yard line, The Colgate eleven was fighting harder than ever before. 1t was that same irresistible drive which 1t exhibited at Princeton after 1t had been baked inside the Tigers l yard mark. And to-day, as then. 1t was Gillo whom Colgate called on repeatedly In its hour of impending triumph. Again Gillo was sent against the left side of the line. but this time the gain was only a yard. Dartmouth was try ing hard TO brace Once more Clio went HURTING into the fighting mass, and this time he got three yards. Colgate was only six yards from a touchdown. For the first time the old call to fight came from the packed stands. But this man Gillo was not human He was a battering ram. a pile driver. insensible to human pain and the effncts of physical exertion. His interference was not of the best but he tore on and on, carrying a human burden about a quarter of ton every time he dived into the line. With six yards to go Gillo made two yards more. Then the Colgate attack opened up Anderson fell back and Dartmouth did not know what to expect. But it turned out to be for ward pass. Anderson threw the ball and Gillo came over the goal line to receive the toss, giving Colgate the touchdown. II was an easy try for goal, and with out any preliminaries West kicked 1t, putting the Maroon in the van by to 0. The Colgate touchdown was hardly a surprise to the neutrals in the stands. The Maroon got the Jump on the Dart mouth men from the start. got a first down on rushing even before the Green had realized II and soon appeared on the road to q score. Murphy’s opening kickoff went to Clio, who ran the ball back twenty yards to his own 30 yard line His first smash went for naught, but his next netted seven yards, his third smash got him three yards and first down. Dartmouth was ashast. In a minute or two Colgate got an other first down by rushing, and then came Dartmouth’s first big brace. A Colgate forward pass went awry and Laird had to kick Colgate had advanced twenty-six yards by straight rushing of the old fashioned type, hard smashes mostly off tackle. Robertson Returns tho Kick. Dartmouth did not try to advance the Once more the Colgate battering process | was started from Colgate’s A yard mark Came another unsuccessful for ward pass to make tho distance and an other punt, which was followed by Robertson’s puny effort which put Colgate on the Green’s 22 yard post Soon after the kick on which followed the Colgate touchdown Dart mouth got all the way to the Maroon’s m ali | and seemed to have a chance to even the tally, but Colgate rallied and held for downs on It’s own rs yard mark. , Colgate had demonstrated that II had terrific power in its straight attack. Now II showed that Il had equal power in | its defence. Up to this point Dartmouth had tried to fight Colgate with its own weapon, a straight attack Having realized that this was futile, Clarence Spears, the | Dartmouth coach. decided on a change | of attack. Eckberg. a line plunger with a shoul- | der which was likely TO be thrown at any minute, was removed and In his place Holbrook, a great end runner. was substituted In the Green back field. Hardly had Hoibrook gone in than Dart | mouth got its chance to put its new scheme into effect. Laird punted to Can nell at Dartmouth’s 2S yard mark. Holbrook carried the ball on the first play and oircled left end for nine yards. Jordan Ihade eleven yards and Robertson two. and time was allowed for the first period. Dartmouth had made first down, its first OF the game. The first part OF the second period was marked by an exchange Of kicks which left the ball In Dartmouth’s possession on it’s own SO yard mark.
