Football loses late lead at Colgate

Losing always hurts. But this was the kind of loss that makes for a long, silent bus ride home.This Saturday in Hamilton, N.Y., the Princeton football squad (3-1 overall, 1-0 Ivy League) suffered a heartbreaking defeat, controlling the flow of the game and leading nearly the entire way before collapsing late in the fourth quarter.With nine minutes, 17 seconds to play, a touchdown by senior co-captain and running back John Veach gave Princeton a 26-14 lead and seemingly a grasp on the jugular of the Colgate Raiders' (3-2). The visiting Tigers had ridden an aggressive, blitzing defense all game long, and as Colgate faced third and three on the 50-yard line with less than six minutes to go it seemed that just one more successful quarterback pressure was all Princeton would need to hold its 12-point lead and seal a victory.On that crucial third down play, however, the Raiders finally found themselves a step ahead of the Tiger blitz.
