The University
of Buffalo justified the confidence of its partisans and others yesterday
by decisively beating the strong Lehigh University team by a score of 16-0.
It was a hard
game, harder than the game with Columbia a week ago, when the score was
but 5-0. Both teams yesterday showed that they had been getting down
to shape, but nevertheless the halves of 20 minutes were plenty long for
either side.
While the weight
of the teams was about even, the Buffalo boys showed up quicker on their
feet, and that with the determination of a team which had beaten Columbia
and wasn’t going to be taken into camp by any other team of lesser prestige,
won the game.
Two of the
Lehigh men and three of the U. of B. players succumbed to the inevitable
during the progress of the game.
There were
sensational features enough to keep the 3000 spectators in the Pan-American
Stadium warm, though the wind was cold and biting.
SIGNIFICANT RESULTS
It is of interest
to notice that Case School of Cleveland was defeated by the overwhelming
score of 57 to 0 by Michigan yesterday and that Columbus had all she could
do to score against Williams. Case plays here before long, and Buffalo
goes to Ann Arbor to tackle the Michigan terrors before the season closes.
Cornell had
a fierce struggle to beat Bucknell, and the football enthusiasts of the
Ithaca College must feel somewhat down by the scantily volume.
In the game yesterday,
Lehigh won the toss and Buffalo kicked off against the wind. Lehigh
tried the line with but little avail and on the third down made a fullback
kick that was excellently placed, and which went 35 yards.
Assaults upon the
Lehigh line by Buffalo were not productive of much gain so Mason punted
20 yards. Lehigh began an attack upon Buffalo’s right side which
gained five yards on two incisive plunges but which was then stopped.
The ball was brought out to the 25 yard line and Buffalo kicked off to
Lehigh’s 45 yard line. Lehigh tried the line again and in two plunges
gained four yards and then lost three in a fumble. Another Lehigh
kick was blocked and a Buffalo man fell on the ball on Lehigh’s 45 yard
line.
The Bison’s then
began attacks on the ends with great success. De Cue got eight around
the right, and Haase eight around the left. Lakin got eight by the
right and wasn’t downed until the ball was within a foot of the Lehigh
goal line. Then mason was jammed through for the first touchdown
‘midst wild demonstration upon part of the Blue and White followers.
MISSED A GOAL
Rice Missed the goal
from a difficult position. Score Buffalo 5, Lehigh 0.
Lehigh kicked off
to Buffalo’s 15 yard line, but the ball was brought 15 yards. After
two ineffective drives at the line, Mason punted beautifully 35 yards and
then in the next scrimmage got through the line so fast that he through
seemingly the whole Lehigh team back three full yards. He seemed
to do it alone.
It was still
Lehigh’s ball and A. Farabaugh did a plucky 10 yards through Buffalo’s
right tackle and but for the unerring tackle of Ubehaun would have had
clear field for a touchdown. Lehigh’s next play at the same spot
was stopped quick and with 6 yards to gain Lehigh attempted a kick which
was blocked for a 10 yard loss.
Lehigh then
on a double pass, a tackle back play and formations against the right and
left sides forced the ball to Buffalo’s 30 yard line, and had it there
when the whistle blew for the end of the first half.
The wind was
against Lehigh’s kick off in the second half to Buffalo’s 15 yard line.
Lakin got back 20 yards before he was downed and then got around the right
for 5 and for 3. A trick wing play with the ends over, Lakin carrying
the ball gained 20 yards for Buffalo, and successive bucking got the ball
to Lehigh’s 40 yard line where it was lost on downs.
DECUE’S GREAT RUN
On the next
line-up the most spectacular play of the game occurred. The ball
was Lehigh’s but there was a fumble on the line, and after a second or
so De Cue emerged from the waving mass of arms and legs, being squeezed
out like paint from a tube, apparently. He had the ball and dusted
out for the Lehigh goal at a mighty gait. Five men followed him,
but to the assignment of everybody they were all Buffalo men. They
had gotten through the same hole and opened up like a bunch of blue lights
from a rocket. De Cue thought they were enemies instead of interference
for his benefit and never stopped sprinting till he got safely behind the
goal posts for the second touchdown. Rice again failed for the goal.
Score 10-0.
Lehigh kicked
off to Buffalo’s 20 yard line. Smiley got back 10 yards. De
Cue made a great run for 15 yards around the left end, but the ball was
knocked from his hands. Haase fell on it however , and after more
tries for the line, Buffalo punted for 20 yards. Lehigh fumbled the
kick and a Buffalo man fell on the ball, amidst riotous yells, Smiley hurdled
for 10 yards. Then he was put through the right side to Lehighs 10
yard line. Epsey was shoved through to the four yard line and then
Smiley got over for the third touchdown and Rice kicked the goal.
Score Buffalo 16, Lehigh 0.
The Lehigh men had
but three minutes more to play, and forced things pretty hard, but the
whistle blew for the end when the ball was on Buffalo’s 30 yard line.
