  PARADES 90 YARDS. IN FINAL QUARTER Lions Record Denied After Foe Is 0utpIayed for Three Periods. N YEW YORK, November IL jN An unbeaten Brown foot Y ball team which had been outplayed and outscored by unbeaten Columbia through three quarters of their annual game came to life in the last quarter today to march 80 yards for a touchdown, kick the point and send the Lions down to defeat, 7–⁠6. Scoring early in the first quarter, Columbia was a constant threat TO the Bears goal line, and until that SenSational advance by Brown starting the fourth quarter the place-kick Capt. Steve Grenda missed for the extra point did not loom as any crucial error. But the Brown touchdown gave Bob Chase his opportunity, and the Brown halfback calmly booted the ball through the goal posts for the one-point margin of victory. WITH only five minutes left to play Wv after the Brown score, Columbia twice penetrated inside the Bears 20-yard line, but the sturdy Brown line threw back one thrust and the other ended just before the final gun with Substitute Quarterback Frank King missing an attempted drop-kick for goal from the 18-yard line. No less sensational than the touch down march of the Brown Bears was their stone-wall defense when the Lions threatened. Six times Columbia was inside the victors’ 30-yard line and twice within the 10, but they could only, break through the thin Brown line once and that was not enough. Brown has only one more hurdle to take to an unbeaten season, but that is Colgate, which it will meet on Thanksgiving day. THE Lions started out as though to l. make the game a rout. After be- ing stopped once on Browns 12yard line, they took the following punt on the Brown 35 and drove straight through to a touchdown. The rest of the period and most of the second was q punting duel between Cliff Montgomcry, the Lions brilliant quarterback, and Chase, with the Bears back in their own territory most of the time. Near the end of the period Brown made its first sustained attack, Joe Buonanno. the Bears most effective back, taking the bali almost single-handed for 6o-yard drive to the Lions 8-yard line, where the Columbia defense held for downs, The third period also saw Columbia continually on the attack, twice threat ,ening the Brown goal, and as the fourth quarter opened with Capt Grenda miss ing an. attempt at a field goal from placement on Browns 8, it appeared the Lions were headed for victory. DROWN, however, had just begun to ID fight. The Bears took the ball on their own 20-yard line and staged their sensational drive. Buonanno tore off 20 yards around end to his own z0 He fiipped a short pass to Gil martin for 10 yards and another first down and the same combination got Is on the next try. Buonanno made a first down on Columbia’S rs. With the Columbia defense demoralized Gil martin tipped short pass to Ball for a first down on the Lions 10, Buonanno picked up 8 yards on line plunge and Substitute Fullback Frank Gam mino lugged it across. Chase did his act and the bail game was won. A crowd Of between $4,000 and 1000 persons, filling every available inch OF seats and aisles, crowded their way into Baker Field to watch the game, played under gray skies and with a chilling wind sweeping in from the Hudson to make conditions uncomfortable Tor PLAYERS and spectators alike. ..s-.. .

  sheary Scores Again Capt. Bus” Sheary and Johnny Ball, of Catholic Uni versity, combined between them to effect a touchdown for the Cardinals and thereby avert a Scoreless tie with Providence College. Both Saturday chillun, If you ask us. 1t makes the third time for Sheary-if that means anything. Sheary had carted the ball over the Providence goal line on the fourth down. He fumbled the ball, but Ball pounced on it to save the day for C. U. and Sheary, too. Bob Chase, Brown halfback, again demonstrates his great ness on the gridiron at a crucial moment. His convert ing a point after touchdown. knowing that point would put Brown ahead of Columbia and represent the difference between a victory by 7 to 6 or a 6–⁠6 deadlock, makes him a Saturday chile. He turned the trick with his toe. Had Steve Grenda been able to do the same thing for Columbia earlier in the game, q IT tie would have resulted. Hats off to Chase, for the Sec ond Saturday in a rowi
