Those who thought that Brown would be so much cream on Colgate's brush owned their error when they saw Jackson Keefer bend even such stiff bristles as the redoubtable Eddie Tryon for gain after gain. Even after Keefer was taken out with a broken rib, Brown stuck to its color. Score: Brown 14, Colgate...
Syracuse knew that Colgate was no soft soap. Colgate was aware that Syracuse could not lightly be brushed aside. Before they met, each-like a mountaineer's beard-had never been trimmed. After a number of close shaves, Eddie Tryon, "hardest blob in Colgate's tube," squirmed through left tackle, trickled 28 yards for a touchdown. Others followed. Score: Colgate 19, Syracuse...
