Conquerors of Yale and Harvard on Short End of 28-0 Score—Noted Negro Held in Check — Local Boys Share in Glory. Providefice, R, I, Dec. 1—Brown’s rosy dream of the football champion- ship of the east was wafted into ob: livion yesterday Col- gate submerged the proud conquer- ors of Harvard and Yale in a puddle of mud by a score of 28 to 0. A sea- son of gridiron surprises had produced no such upheaval as this, and when the Brown boys, with all their sisters &nd their cousins and their aunts, sat down to their Thanksgiving dinners after the football catastrophe, the Rhode Island turkey and the English plum pudding didn't taste fine as gthey expected. A teeming cold rain drenched play- ers and spectators and turned the gridiron into a quagmire. Through the mud the husky Colgate linemen _pushed and dragged Brown’s am- \bitious players until their own anothers wouldn’t recogni them. [Never before has an eleven which whowed as much promise and also as _much achievement as Brown has this ‘season been overturned so thoroughly and humiliatingly. Colgate slid Brown’s athletes completely off their Hfeet in the gluey muek #nd/played Ed Robinson’s great machine to a stand- still. . It is hard to explain just what was ‘fthe matter with the Brown players. Maybe their heads were dazed with eir castles of champlonships and with paticipated All-Eastern and All- American glory. Anyway Colgate, full of fight and football, just lifted them up at the very start and threw them around ews Field so un oeremonlouggd § Colgate ou #ged the famed Brown MNne, she 16 it ‘with holes big enough to haul a coal truck through, she wheeled merrily around the ends end gave Brown a lesson in football she will not soon forget Prophecies Go All Awry. Brown is the disappointment of the year’s culminating days, and Colgate, ! especially considering the size of the college, comes pretty near to being the ! mensation of the season. When Col- | gate invaded the west and trimmed | Illinois, football folks were surprise: when she tore the giant Syracuse eleven to ribbons football folks mar- veled, but when, this same Colgate | bunch ripped Bfown to tatters yes- | terday afternoon football folks threw ; up their hands in utter amazement. { It was hard, bruising, old-fashioned football that wrecked Brown's hopes. Hubbell, Spencer, and Gillo, the Col- gate back, were jammed through the line with such force that in the third period Brown was being bowled over In the mud like a lot of tenpins, while | Colgate was rushing arrogantly down the fleld at a rate of ten yards at a clip. With each charge triumphant Colgate rubbed it in worse. The Ham- liton team had no pity or considera- tion for the much-heralded Brown stars and made them look like a group of youths just taking up a new game, The greatest shock to Brown was the thorough and complete suppress- ing of Fritz Pollard, Brown’s negro halfback, who has struck terror into every team he has faced. Pollard was subdued. Never a chance did he get to romp away clear and bring forth the lusty shouts which were all ready and waliting to greet him. Colgate watched the dusky star’s every move so closely that whenever he carried the ball there were half a dozen pairs of strong arms ready to grasp him and bury him beneath a pile of steam- ing mud-daubed players. Pollard Strong on Defense. Even though Colgate did crush out all Pollard’s chances to gallop his way to glory, they could not get him out of the way on the defense. As Pollard has starred on the attack all season, so he starred yesterday after- noon on the defense. He was the one man in the Brown team who was able to tumble the overwhelming Colgate rush. Playing on the secondary de- fepse, Pollard rushed in headlong and i dtmped the Colgate runners af- ter they had successfuly shaken off the other Brown tacklers. Colgate’s warriors tried in vain to box him up as they did others, but the elusive negro outguessed them and wiggled his way through to spill romping opposition. Brown’s tackling was 'way off form. The players’ arms slipped from the muddy moleskins of the Colgate men. They seemed dull and slow, too, in diagnosing Colgate's attack. Many a time the Hamilton players had broken loose and were on their way long be- fore Brown woke up. Colgate’s never ceasing assault on the Brown line netted four touch- We Are Catering to AFTERNOON BOWLING Pin Men Always on Hand AETNA ALLEYS Church Street. | OXMOOR A-MIELD, PISASANT 5¢ CIGAR when spunky they were stunned. | downs, one in each period, and four times did the trusty toe of West boot the heavy water-soaked ball over the crossbar for an additional point, Brown's men were helpless in - the hands of the New York State players, who toyed with them much as a cat toys with a ball of string. On every rush the Brown line was completely smothered, and upon the few occa- sions when the local athletes had the ball their formations were rudely jarred and shattered before they were well started. Colgate’s eleven was drilled like a regiment of soldiers and throughout the game played with a unity and a crushing aggressiveness, in the face of which Brown made but a poor showing, Brown, Perhaps, a Bit Stale. About the only excuse that can be put forward for Brown's eleven is that the men had perhaps gone stale. Pointed, presumably, for the Yale and Princeton games, the snap and ginger was all used up. ‘They played one game too many. The wear and tear of the two great victorles may have been too much for Robin- son's eleven. Anyway, it was a far different team today from the one which put New Haven and Cambridge in mourning only a few weeks back. Playing himself into the very front rank of the season’s quarterbacks, was Carl Oscar Anderson, of the Colgate eleven. He ran the eleven faultlessly, and made several sensational runs and dashes through the line. Hubbell, Spencer, Glllo and West were the oth- er players on the Colgate eleven whose individual work stood out, but in the maze of the formations it 1could be seen that every one of the Colgate linemen were doing Trojans’ | work. { To make the gloom of Providence complete the heavy rainstorm ‘drenched many of the spectators so thoroughly that they had to leave be- fore the game was half over. It was the largest crowd that ever saw a football game at Andrews Field. A crowd of 9,000 is a large gathering for the new and old wooden stands here. The Brown students were all charged with cheers and songs, and with their brass band were ready to celebrate the greatest festival of vic- tory in the institutions history. They have the right idea about Thanksgiving Day game here. It be- gins at 11:30 in the morning. That hour is not early enough to keep the New Englanders from morning serv- ices and is not late enough to keep any one away from Thanksgiving din- ner. In fact, it's just right. Colgate on Her Way Farly. Soon after Horning had kicked off ! for Colgate at the game's outset, and Brown had tried to rush the ball, the | Providence players discovered that it was a hopeless task to try to punc- | ture the opposing line. Hillhouse was forced to punt and then Colgate be- {gan its march to victory. Spencer {and Gillo galloped through gaping openings in the Brown line, and car- {ried the ball down the field thirty vards in half a dozen rushes. An- { derson then skirted the end for fif- | teen, and on the next play'tossed the | ball to the goal line to Neilson, but | the play was annulled, as Brown was detected holding, and was penalized | fifteen yards to her own 6-yard line. Spencer jammed through to the 2- vard line and Brown made a gallant stand on the next two rushes, hurling back Hubbell and Spencer. On the third try, Anderson shot himself through for a touchdown. After the next kick off, Brown for a moment got under way, Pollard smashed through right tackle, and dodged past three of the Colgate tack- lers. The crowd was up, and unbrel- las began to wave frantically as the dusky back went on through the maze of players. He was almost loose when he slipped in the mud, and Col- gate players buried him after he had gone ten yards. That was the only time in the game that Pollard broke loose in a scrimmage. Later in the game he caught a kick off on his three-yard line, and ran back twenty before he was stopped. He tried to shoot forward passes, but the Brown ends were so successtilly blocked that there was no one on hand to com- plete his flings. Hillhouse Punting Poorly. Before the first period ended West tried a kick from placement from his 38-yard line, but the heavy ball swerved out of its true course. It was the same old story with Brown's cohorts each time they got the ball. Pollard, Jemail, and Purdy would gain a few yards, and then Hillhouse would be forced to punt. His punt- ing was erratic and the slippery ball many times went wild. Hubbell, the Colgate kicker, had better luck, and two or three times he boomed away kicks for fifty yards, and even sixty yards. The first period ended with the ball in Brown’s possession on Colgate’s 37-yard line. 1In the second period a Purdy and Pollard picked up half a dozen yards by bruising dives into the line. Then Purdy fumbled, but Hillhouse recovered after Brown had lost ten yards. Hillhouse tried to punt, but Captain Horning blocked the kick and Colgate grabbed up the ball on Brown’s 26-yard line.

And West again unerringly kicked the goal. The handful of Colgate rooters splashing around in the rain with their hats off defled pneumonia germs in their wild outburst of joy. It was on the next kick off Pollard broke loose after catching the ball. He made one of his artful dodging gallops for twenty yards up the field. Then he and Purdy gather- that but Conway fumbled and Nellson nabbed the ball for Colgate. Ander- son again tore the Brown line asun- der, and then he attempted to hurl a forward pass, but it was intercepted by Weeks, which gave Brown a few seconds of joy. Brown could not gain and Hillhouse punted. Pollard Tackles Anderson. Anderson then started on another wild run. He skirted cver to one side of the fleld and was running free along the side lines, shaking off the Brown tacklers with alarming agility. No one stood in his way but Pollard. The dusky back threw himself at the runner and spilled him just as he was on his final dash for the goal. Pol- lard was easily the only strong spot in the Brown defense. It was a downcast, dejected bunch of Brown players that trooped to the clubhouse between the halves. Rain and mud soaked they were, but most of all sore of imb and sick of heart. All the gumption had been taken out of them. Their heads were hanging and their feet dragged after them in the mire. Alas for those ckhampion- ship aspirations? It was tough to get so close to greatness only to have the way barricaded at the last mo- ment by Colgate. Colgate in the second half came on stronger than in the first, while Brown was slipping backward all the time. It began to rain harder than ever. The deep ruts in the gridiron, made by the players’ cleats filled with puddles of water and the superior weight of the more than ever. When Colgate charged Brown just slipped back in the mud and sat down in the puddles with a hard splash As Spencer Gillo and Hubbell re- sumed their charges through the line the Brown folks became discouraged and there were vells from the stands “Put Pollard in at center; he’s the only one who can stop ‘em!” But Pollard and ell the other Brown players were becoming gradually worn down under the punishment and they soon found that no one could halt the Colgate march of triumph. Colgate on a Rampage. Colgate’s advance toward Brown's goal in the: third period was a pro- cession witl apparently nothing in the way to stop it. From Brown's 47-yard line Colgate started. First it was Spencer through for twelve yards and then It was Anderson for ten | way behind compact interference in ed a few more yards around the ends, | Colgate line counted | more. On top of this came Hubbell with fifteen and next Gillo with an unchecked slide through the mud of twelve yards. Anderson fumbled asd Brown got the Lall. Hillhouse immediately kicked and the boot was a poor one the ball switching out of bounds on Brown's 36-yard line. Colgate was now running amuck. Nothing could stop the relentless march. Anderson romped through the sprawling forwards for (fifteen yards and Gillo plunged through for five more. Hubbell then splashed his a thrilling run for touchdown. Again the errorless West kicked the goal. West had not finished vet. There was another great chance coming for | him and he rose to the occasion as only an alert player can. In the last period when the crowd was stream- ing away from the fleld wet and dis- ! appointed Pollard made one of his | last efforts to do something for Brown. He plunged through a hole in the line successfully and then struck the secondary defense. The | Colgate tacklers piled into him so hard that the ball bobbed out of his hands. Tearing along came West. He caught the ball as it bounded away from Pollard and raced thirty yards for another touchdown after which he kicked the goal. Toward the end of the game An- nan made the one and only great play for Brown. He broke loose around Colgate’s left end for a spectacular gallop of forty yards before he was thrown at the sidelines. The play did not come in time to do Brown any good. It was a bitter pill for Brown to swallow, was the defeat, and it Is just another little lesson not to count the chickens before they are hatched.

New Britain residents have reason to feel proud of the achieve- ment of Colgate’s football eleven yesterday, for in its attainment goes much credit to local native sons, Jack Rourke trainer and Reymond Mansficld manager. Seldom has a team ever entered a fray in better condition than the Hamilton boys yves- terday, which speaks in itself for the clever handling by Mr. Rourke. o financial standpoint, the season has been a success, due to the able man- agement of Mr.. Mansfield. Prior to 1907 Colgate had ocoupled a medlo- cre position in football, being consid- ered as a “small college” team, but in that season the representatives of the college held Brown to a 0 to 0 score which was followed by a sev- erance of football relations. John L. TFoley of this city now an Instructor in the Montclair High school, was manager at that time. During the past season Colgate has suffered but one reverse losing to Yale 7 to 8. Among those who fell by the wayside were Syracuse and Il- linols, western champions in 1915, The prospects for next season are very bright, the team losing but three players, Captain Hornung, Goode and Neilson. Jack Rourke arrived home | today and will spend the week-end at the home of his parents. Jack is en- thuslastic over the prospects of two of his charges being selected for the All-American team, ‘West and Ander- son. TEAM CHANGES HANDS. Frazee and Ward New Red Sox Owners Take Charge. Chicago, Dec. 1.—Harry Frazee and Hugh Ward, purchasers of the Bos- ton American league club, held a con- ference here yesterday with B. B. Johnson, president of the American league, over the transfer of the team. At the conclusion it was asserted that there would be no hitch in the transfer from Joseph Lannin to the new owners, and that Frazee and Ward probably would be received for- mally into the league at the annual meeting here the middle of next month. DIES OF FOOTBALD INJURIES. Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 1.—William A. Jones, aged twenty, of Munhall, Pa., member of a football team rep- | resenting the dental department of ' the University of Pittsburgh, died late yesterday from injuries recetved in a game on November 3. Jones was kicked in the spine and paralysis re- sulted. CASEY BEST SCORER.

By some queer, quaint law only one first class heavyweight comes forward at a time over a span of years, and the result is eminently depressing and distressing to promoters. These promoters would be willing enough to match Jess Willard with Jack Dillon, or even with Johnny Kilbane, if they could get by, but they have discovered certain limits which even the gullible public will not fall for. Same Old Story. It's the same old story. Here they have Jess Willard and his 280 pounds completing a circus season with a fat winter ahead—if any one could be found to give the Kansan an even debate. Tt was the same way in Jeffries’ da: From 1900 to 1904, the competitive | crop ran completely out, and Jeff went around all dressed up in trunks and | boxing gloves with no one to fight, So Jeff finally quit in disgust until they lured him back after his day had passed on and out, The same thing held for Jack Johnson. He was'good enough, but [ no one else was. Finally, when Johnson hit the resin at Havana and Willard came along, he, too, soon found himself adrift in | a vacant fleld. Willard fought Johnson nearly two vears ago, and in that time he has had but one ten round fight, and that against a man he outweighed sixty pounds. The Great Why Is It. With one or two around who would have an even chance against the champion, promoters would have no trouble at all in drawing two $150,000 gates between now and nest Labor Day. If Willard should drop out the game might be a merry one, with Moran, Dillon, Weinert, Fulton, Levinsky and Miske all scrambling for the vacated throne. But none of these look to class with Willard now. Why is it that only one heavyweight of class comes along for three or four years at a time? The lightwelght division, Welsh, Leorard, Dundee and has at least four within fairly close range. The middleweights and the light heavyweights have their share of entries But here for sixteen years the heavyweight game has known but one with White, great fighter at a time—Jeffries, John- son and Willard, with practically no competitors while these were at their best. Willard’s Limit, If Willard has put on twenty-five pounds in the last year, as reported, one niore year wlill about finish his career. A 300-pound champion his tietithwl 66mso-xghi. his title with sprightly possible, but not probable. When the average citizen gets above 300 pounds, as a rule he desires to pass the remainder of his existence in peace and at ease, And as Willard has never been ex- ceptionally keen cbout fighting, he would hardly esteem it worth while to try to carry 300 pounds through a iwo monihs’ training siege if there was any exit in sight, Why not open a round robin, scramble among Dillon, Moran, Levin- sky, Welnert, M‘ske and Fulton, to have some one eniry ready when Willard decides to evacuate the cham- plonship fortress? defending agility is Instice. A vouth stood at the judgment bar; He'd killed a maiden fair; ‘“He’s guilty,” cried the jurymen, “Our verdict is, ‘the chair.’ The judge looked down wretch. “Young man,” he said, “glve heed— Before I send vou to your death ‘What have you got to plead?” upon the “Your honor, give me mercy, for My crime was Justified; I took her to a football game The day this mafden died. ““The score stood nothing-to-nothing, With a minute left to play; The fullback tobk the ball and rushed Some ninety yards away. “Just then she took me by the arm And sald, ‘that horrid man— The coward wouldn’t stay and fight, But took the ball and ran. “Yes, Judge, 1 killed her, I admit, So lead me forth to die.” Both Judge and jury rose en masse— “Not Guilty!” was the cry. —Paul Gould. 'he American league drew over a million more paid admissions this season than last year. “What's the matter with baseball?” seems to be answered again. On the other paw, we know a num- ber of big league clubs that would be willing to have Harvard’s football re- ceipts of $28,000 a game, or $280,000 for a ten-game season. At the same LIGHT Grantland Rice only $4,312,000 for a 1h4-game cam- paign. That's all. Add things to be thankful for—that the football season doesn’t run for siy months, as the baseball season does.

By almost every possible way of calculation Rutgers should have won vesterday. The Pennsylvanians were outweighed probably man for man, including the substitutes, and, more- over, Rutgers accounted for nine first downs by rushing the pigskin, to a pair of advances by the winners. But where W. & J. outclassed the Jerseyites was in knowing when to use wits to the best advantage, and this came in a rejuvenation of the famous old trick of free kicking, which has been absent from games in New York city for some years. Sol Metzger's charges looked mighty strong soon-after the referee’s whistle brought the two ‘elevens together for the first quarter. Captain Scarr, the otherwise proficient quarterback from New Jersey, erred in his judgment of McCreight's punt, fumbled the wet and slippery leather, and gave Guy, W. & J. center, a chance to pounce upon it thirty-four yards from the Rutgers goal. the stadium atten- to less DUNDEE BEATE) New York, Dec. 1—Johnny Dundee, the dancing lian with” the Scottish cognomen, met with a distinct and un- pleasant surprise yesterday afternoon at the Broadway Sporting club, when he was outpointed in a sizzling ten- round bout by Eddie Wallace of Brooklyn. Not only was Dundee de- feated on points, but he received a clean knockdown blow in the fourth round, and that is something that sel- dom has happened to the sturdy Ital- ian who has designs on the light- weight crown that sits on the head of Freddie Welsh. The knockdown in the fourth was the most spectacular feature of a bout that bristled with sensations. GEORGETOWN W EASILY. Gilroy Active Scorer in Game George Washington. Washington, D. C., Dec. 1.—George- town University's football eleven de- feated George Washington, muddy gridiron here yesterd noon, it being the first game "between these two Institutions since 1907. The score was 47 to 7. Johnnie Gilroy, the Haverill (Mass.) thunderbolt, further increased his margin as leading point scorer for the country by making three touch- downs, one after a run of ninety yards and another of seventy, follo receiving of a kick off. Gilroy kicked flve goals out of seven attempts. The easy defeat of George Washing- ton caused surprise, for it was gen- erally believed that the Blue and Gray would run up a larger total. Early in the first period Giacomo, the losers’ quarterback, picked up a fumble and ran fifty yards for a touchdown. He later kicked goal. Tt was the first points of the game. The opening period ended 7 to 7, and the half, 27 to 7. The heavy going handi- capped Georgetown, and fumbling was frequent e both teams. AKQJwaB-t«¥, pret sh cm et PENN SOOCERS TRIUMPH.

How Penn Scored. Following the Cornell score at thd commencement of the fray Penr points piled out like apples rolling from a barrell. Before the first quar ter was over the Quakers had take the lead with a touchdown by Ur quhart on a long forward pass fror Derr and a following goal from touch down by Berry. In the second perio Berry swelled Penn’s total with a field goa] from the 25 yard line. In the third quarter Henry Milley guardian of the Quakers' right flan broke through and blocked a Corne punt on the 25 yard line of the Itha cans. A forward pass, Derr to Mille put the ball within easy striking dis tance, and then Derr was catapultec over the line for the touchdown, Ber! ry failing to kick goal.
