At 4:lO the two teams lined up as follows:

Wells, capt. Right tackle...J. H. Wood
Hacker. Right end.............M Morris
Burroughs extra.
When they took their positions it was appar-
ent to all that the Columbias were several stone
the heavier team, for their opponents looked
like boys alongside of them. Mr.. Charles H.
Boynton was selected as umpire, with Mr.. j.
II. Collins, of Haverford College, as referee.
Haverford had the kickoff, but in a twinkling
Taylor, of the Columbia Athletic Club, tackled
Estes and downed him before he could make a
gain of foot. In the two other attempts Hav-
erford failed to make gain and Columbia
cured the ball. At once Capt. Wells began to
rush and soon was working the ball down to-
ward the goal. Veasey secured the ball and like
whirlwind rushed through the line and made
gain Of seven yards with half dozen Haver-
fords hanging on his shoulders. At this point
the Columbia Athletic Club showed some poor
team work, Dashells making three bad at
tempts to run, but the fieet-footed youngsters
downed him each time. Haverford again
cured the ball and some clever work was done
by Taylor and Lewis Capt. Wells yelled to his
men, ''Now, c. A. CO. when they again secured
the ball. al together and as if to instill life in
the team made splendid run of 20 yards. Then
Yeasey made five yards, and Hecker, not to be
outdone went him three better. a momentary
showing of poor work here took place. Wade
got the ball, but let it get away, and then
Dashiells again made a bad run with the sphere.
The tackling of the Haverfords was splendid,
it being wonderful to watch the youngsters
tackle the big men of the C. A. c. The ball
was kept in the Haverfords territory all the
time, and Emory, Hacker, Harlan, and Butter
worth We're doing good service At last Emory
got the ball, and, making good run, secured
the first touchdown for Columbia. Dashells
failed to kick goal. 1t took twenty minutes to
make the first score, 4 to 0infavor of the Column
bias The men jumped right to business, and
by some good work of Whitall, of Haverford,
the ball was kept In Columba's territory, but
the good work of Renier and Wade, in the rush
line, interfered with his onslaughts. The first
half closed with the score 4 to in favor Of the
g. A. G.
They lined up for the second half, and
after a few preliminary scrimmages Butter
worth secured the ball and made the run of the
day, going from centre until caught within ten
feet of touch-in line Then Dashiells made his
play, and by great rush overturned the Haver-
fords and secured a touchdown. He punted
out to the twenty-fve-yard line, but failed to
kick goal Score, s to 0. Again to the centre,

until tackled successfully by Hacker, who, Sc
curing the ball. made a magnificent run and
secured touchdown. Dashieds again failed to
kick goal. Score, ~ to 0. Haverford secured
the ball and Whitall made good kick. Veazey
caught it, and then made a bold run, until
downed by Whitall. At this point the full
back Of the Haverfords made the only success
full break of the day through the Columbus
line, and then made good run of forty yards,
until run down in very clever manner by
Harlan. At this point Dashiells retired on ac-
count Of a lame ankle, and Grant Burroughs
took his place. The ball was again worked
to gain, and relinqushed the ball tc
their opponents. Whitall made splendid kick
which Emory jumped and caught as it bounded
and in twinkling, and to the CONSERVATION OF
the HaYerfords, secured q touchdown. Then

1t was now getting dark and Capt. Wells gave
the order TO rush things. In the second pas

lodging the agile Hayerfords secured anothe
touchdown and as Butterworth kicked goa
the score was 2S to 0. Before any more point
