    Syracuse Routs Coloute, 34–⁠6 SYRACUSE. N. Y, Nov. is R. - Syracuse struck three times through the air and twice on the ground to overpower undermined Colgate, 34–⁠6, today in the 58th game of the series. A crowd of $500 including Gov. Hartman and his wife, watched as the Orange went over and through the Raiders for scores in each period. Colgate rooters had a short lived moment of hope in the second period when the thin Maroon eleven managed a 6–⁠6 tie, but five minutes later the Orange regained the lead and the pattern was set. Seven Orange players figured in the scoring parade which was marked with crisp blocking and an occasional exchange of fists.
