Unlikely.

Slight advantage for White, then the crude blunder 37.Qf3?? throws it away all at once.

Donaldson & Minev: <Some sources indicate that White was in time-trouble.>

Good question. It's crushing. Probably Colle couldn't completely work it out in time pressure.

Another good question (with, it appears, the same answer -- time pressure) is why 35.Qf3 and 37.Qf3 -- Rubinstein made the same blunder twice. Colle caught it the second time.
