A Victory for Yale.


 
 The FOOtban Game Yesterdny-COlumbia
 Badly Beaten-Thfrteen Goals and Two
 TouchdOxvns for Ya1e-Ffue Playing by
 the Yale Team.
 The first football game of the season oc- cured at Hamilton Park yesterday afternoon and resulted in disastrous defeat for Colum- bia.
 Owing to the reduction in fare some seven ty-five Columbia students came up from New York to see the game, but they were not ex- pectinp such a Waterloo from Yale. Oh, 't'twas cold day when the wind blew that way.'' The weather could not have been more favorable, for the atmosphere was warm and the wind, though little strong at first died out before the first inning was near over. Both teams played with eleven men, and the game on that account was more interesting to the spectators than some of last seasons.
 Some six hundred or more persons must have been present, and there were many la- dies in that number. Quite number of bi- cycles were drawn up along the fence, and there were also some twenty-five carriages out Yale was crippled by the absence of both Harding and Hull, but they were not needed yesterday.
 Although the game was one-sided, 1t was nevertheless very interesting, and never be- fore has Yale played more finely. The spec tators were enthusiastic in applauding the many fine plays of the Yale team, and as the veterans rolled up the score of goals the air was rent with cheering. Henry, the finest player on the Columbia | team, was so severely injured about the head and shoulders that he was obliged to stop playing before the first inning was over. | It is quite a coincidence that Henry should | be the cause of Adams severe injury last sea- son and this season should himself be in jured while tackling Adams. Yale won the toss and gave Columbia the first kickoff. The ball was quickly forced into dangerous proximity to CoIumbia's a's goal, l and it lowered about that region most of the inning. Yale soon secured touchdown, but Camp failed to kick goal. The ball was soon sent skimming again, but Yale secured l another touchdown, and this time Camp suc- ceeded in kicking goal. Time of first goal, l five minutes.
 The bali was quickly set in motion, and Columbia made a touchdown for safety. Adams soon got the ball and made fine run l towards Columbia's goal, but he was stopped by Henry. Camp captured the ball and sent it flying over the goal of Columbia for the second time. This was the only goal kicked from the field.
 Time of second goal eleven minutes. The third goal was the quickest that was secured, as it took but two minutes to do the work. Fuller made a fine run, and then Camp securing the ball ran clear through the crowd of blue and white uniforms to the rear of the goal and there made the touchdown | from which the goal was won. After some seven minutes more of playing, during which Columbia made another safety touchdown, Vernon secured the ball and made another touchdown for Yale. After kicking a fourth goal for Yale the ball was started again and Columbia touched down for safety. A touch down was secured by Vernon and Beck con jointly, and Yale secured goal number six Henry now made a good run for Columbia but was finally stopped by Lamb. Yale soon secured goal number seven. At this point the game was delayed by the accident to Henry, and his place was taken by substl- tute The inning closed with Yale seven goals and two touchdowns and her opponents nothing.
 After recess of fifteen minutes sides were changed, and Columbia no longer had the sun in their eyes and the wind in their faces. Fine runs were made by Camp and Adams, and inside of eight minutes Yale had secured 1 an eighth goal.
 Badger made fine run to rear of Colum- bias goal and secured touchdown. Owing to previous foul it was not allowed Lamb secured touchdown. and goal was kicked by Camp The game now became more eX- citing and lively as the time was nearly up, and all the men were warmed up to the work. Fine runs were made by Lamb, Fuller and Adams and Yales score was further in- l creased by four goals and a touchdown The playing of the Yale team almostperfection l and never before has the team s'passed" better or made such telling ''runs.' As the Columbia men were nearly all light weights they could do nothing at all toward stopping their pow erful opponents. Captain Watson is certain ly to be congratulated on the work of his men, The bulk of the work in the game was done by the rushers, so that some of the men had no opportunity of showing mp. All of the Yale team did excellent1y, but the finest runs were made by Adams, Lamb, Full Ter and Camp.
