  Syracuse Still, Contender i’m Spite of Tie Overconfidence of Orange Played Big Part i’m score less Battle With Brown After seeing the Syracuse eleven play scoreless tie against Brown on saturday we still contend the Orange IS championship possibility. But beiore Justifying such prophecy the upstate eleven will have to shake itself loose from it’s lethargic condition. Had the New Workers been aroused ON Saturday there is little doubt they would have beaten the Providence stu dents decisively. syracuse went into that game a Bit oyerconfident, listless and in state OF mind not calculated to bring it sue cess Coach Meehan foresaw the symptoms as early as Friday night. when he cautioned his men against underrating Brown. The game began with Brown aroused to fighting pitch. In this instance the Brunonlnas psychologically had the advantage. They were picked to be on that field to hold the Orange in check and consequently they were ever alert, always on their toes and constantly carrying forward. Not SO with the upstate eleven, which began the contest in q rather leisurely manner. In no time Meehan had made several substitutions and had sent in instructions to get busy. Care lessness led to several costly mistakes and before the Syracuse students could pull themselves together the first half had ended. The Orange was different team in the second half. But so was Brown. Having held the highly touted speed sters from New York from crossing its goal line the local team became imbucd with confidence and courage It put up defense in the second half that was as good as any we have ever seen and which effectively resisted all eff forts Of the Salt City students to push over a score. Even SO, Syracuse might we’ll have won the game but for bungling on the part of the officials. In the latter part Of the game, just after Syracuse had lost the ball on down, Mort starobin, OF the visitors, with mighty effort broke through, smashed down a pass, scooped’ up the ball and ran for o touchdown. The umpire’s whistle blew and the play was revoked. The umpire said it was an incompleted forward pass. Captain Culver protested, but to no avail After the game Coach Meehan accosted the four officials together. “That decision cost US the game” he said, “and would like an explanation. Ger tainly that was a lateral pass as much as those two previous passes of Brown S were lateral” Referee Reed, who had gone down the field with Starobin, said the umpire called the ball back. Bur leigh, the umpire, said he did so because McGrath, the linesman, had heeled the ground as if to show where the bail was grounded. McGrath declared he knew nothing about the play And so the matter ended. Syracuse will play Pittsburgh next Saturday and unless we are nightly mistaken it will be different kind OF a team from the one which Brown tied This contest ought to be knockout Undoubtedly old Pop Warner is thor oughly aroused now. Two defeats in succession is something entirely new for him. | We met a scout last night who had seen the Pitt-West Virginia game. “a draw would have been good decision for that game” he said pittsburgh, on fine, strong, rushing tactics, marched straight down the field for it’s touch down. West Virginia blocked kick. Later West Virginia kicked goal So went the game. But I’m telling you Pitt has great team, make no mistake about that”
