E SYLLABUS 1925 T A crippled B. U. team faced the strong Holy Cross eleven on the next Saturday. Carlson, Williamson, and Cochrane were all on the side lines with injuries. The only regular in the backfield was Worcester, who did a lion's share of the work. The second string men tried hard but their inexperience and the greater weight of their opponents proved too much of a handicap. The Purple team used an aerial attack to offset the one used by the Terriers, and the result was startling. Interceptcd passes were as frequent as jounces in a Flivver. During the melee, Holy Cross scored twice. The open field running of MelVIahon of Holy Cross and the all-round playing of Worcester featured. Score-B. U. 0 ............... A . HOLY Cnoss 14- SCENIE AT B. U.--BROXVN GAME. The Terriers outplayed and outscored Colby College, champions of Maine, in the following game, which was featured by straight old-fashioned football, interspersed at times with a rapid fire overhead attack. The line showed much more power and drive, while the baekfield ran formations like clockwork. Be- markable open field running by Cochrane, together with the opportune interference of the other backs, paved the way to the scores. Score-B. U. 18 ................... COLBY 0 The game stand made by B. U. against the mighty Orange team of Syracuse is well attested in the following comment from the New York Herald. A plucky little 'team from Boston led by a decidedly plucky little leader and clever back named Williamson, who can well rate with the best that New England possesses, fought valiantly during the first two periods. Boston, taking the field for the third quarter, proceeded to make one of the noblest stands a defeated team ever did. For the remaining fifteen minutes of play, they fought the Orange on better than even terms. Score-B.U.0 . . . . . . . SYRACUSE49 iam

I ATHLETICS B. U. was outweighed as well as outplayed by the huge Piutgcr's eleven in the next to the last game of the season. The weight of the New Jersey men coupled with the fact that the second period was some twenty-six minutes long, wore out the lighter Terriers completely and made them unable to withstand the fast charg- ing and line smashing Rutgers' huskies. As darkness descended upon the field. the press men armed with lanterns groped their way to the score hoard and found the following legend :- Score-B. U. 0 . . .I RIITGERS 61 TISNSE MOMENTS AT li. U.--'DARTMOUTH GAME. The Bed and White faced New York U. in the Yankee Stadium in the final game of thc season on. the short end of a 10-0 bet that N. Y. U. would run away with the game. All the New York papers predicted it, for the reason that N. Y. U. had held the strong Rutgers team 7-3, while B. U. had been swamped by the same team. Could anyone of the spectators forget that game? With the men playing ankle deep in the mud, a cold drizzle falling and a sharp wind blowing, did the B. U. men give upil They did not. Time and time again Cochrane or Williamson would get away free only to slip and fall in that field of mud. The only N. Y. U. score was due to a blocked punt which rolled in back of the B. U. goal and after eluding several B. U. men finally nestled quite eontentedly under a wearer of the Violet. Williamson and Cochrane played the game of their careers. Not that they made any astounding runs or plays, but that they truly played the game, and that is what a real football man does. The other members of the team played heads up football and cannot be given too much credit for their showing under the conditions which 'they played. Score-B. U. 0 ..... . ' N. Y. U. 7 189
