SYRACUSE, Nov. 1.-THE ponderous Syracuse University football team was forced to accept no score tie in its game with the light and speedy Colgate eleven this afternoon. Syracuse was on the defensive throughout and but for number of long runs by Rose their offensive play was hardly noteworthy. Colgate. on the other hand used every thing imaginable and gained much more ground than did the local aggregation. They had rushed the ball TO the yard line. only to have time called for the first half with first down. In the second period they refrained from hitting the Syracuse line, which had held well during the early periods and opened a brilliant assault via the aerial route They uncovered “A forward pass formation which Melted substantial gains. Three times during the last period the Syracuse rooters thought they saw the victory go to Colgate when a forward pass resulted In an almost clear field for a touchdown.
