operated badly for his team. The visitors were
also handicapped by the absence of their best
player-their centre rush-who was injured on
Friday at the University of Virginia. At times
bad blood was shown and some scrapping took
place. Once Lieut.. Kelly was obliged to sepa-
rate the men. In the preliminary practice the
Columbus showed up to better advantage and
it looked to the unframed eye that they had a
walk as the Lafayettes did not play much
for shape. In the game they displayed excel
lent Judgment in their interfering and tackling
and though lighter by many pounds, showed
far the better team work. AS they lined up
they were placed as follows:

Mr. Charles II. Boynton, of the c. A. c., was
referee and Mr.. Edgar March, of LAFAYETTE um-
pire, two excellent selections, as during the
contest none of their decisions were questioned
In the kickoff Columbia had the bali and by
splendid rush Ramsburgh made gain of ten
yards. On the next pass Butterworth made
good run of forty yards, which brought them
well up into the vicinity of goal. On the next
cured touchdown. In the attempt at kick
for goal Butterworth failed. Score to O:
time, minutes. In the lineup the Lafayettes
had the ball and they at once commenced to
rush, Beidleman starting off with run around
the line for ten yards. Silver then made a long
punt, which Butterworth caught fair, but was
cleverly downed by March. In the next pass,
the Columbias having the ball, Cash showed
his good Princeton training by rushing the
centre for eight yards, then on a tumble by
Byrne and Emory the Lafayettes secured the
ball. Big March secured the ball and by
splendid run covered thirty yards before being
downed. Then by some strong and fierce inter
fering OF Cash, Wade, Wells. and Welsh the
Lafayettes We're kept at bay, and were unable
to gain much. March then attempted Il kick
for goal from the field, but Butterworth caught
it, but made failure in kicking it back, as Du-
mont rushed it over on the tumble for a touch
down. March failed to kick goal. Score, to
!: time, is minutes. On the lineup the Co.
Iumbias had the ball, but in an instant the La
fayettes secured it on tumble by Byrne and
Immediately March, Wilson, and Voigt, by ex-
cellent runs, secured another touchdown.
March punted out, but failed to kick a goal.
Score, s to 4; time, 81 minutes. In the nine
minutes left of play there was very little ad-
vantage secured on either side, as the ball was
kept busy in play all the time. The last part
OF the game was as fine an exhibition of foot
ball playing as any lover of the game would
like to see. A brilliant feature of the game
was rush through the lines, a scrmmage, and
tumble, on which Dumont secured the ball
with clear field for run, but within ten wards
OF goal was overtaken by Butterworth, who
doWned him with one hand. The first
half closed without any additional scoring.
They lined up for the second half looking
dilapidated Lafayette had the ball and by three
great runs by Wilson they advanced the ball
well up the lield, on the last being well downed
by Wells March attempted to kick goal from
Held, but being "oif-side'' lost twenty-five wards
and the ball. Columbia then by splendid rush
m aYII Oh Il Al
down to centre of field. Here they lost the ball
and March made kick of thirty wards On
Tegalningthe ball they commenced to work hard
and Cash made several mad rushes through the
me lor about thirty yards. The Lafayettes got
themselves together and by good work in the
scr1mmages secured the ball and worked it up
toward goal. In one of the scTimmages Wilson
secured the ball ana while the rest were fight
ing he ran away and touched-down. March
then made Kick for goal. Score, u to 4
Quickly lining up, Noigt and March made
rushes, and then Wilson made another good run
and secured touchdown and March kicked
goal. Score IS to H. 1t was now too dark to
continue play and the Coumbias called time
The opinion Of the spectators was unanimous
that II was the best exhibition of football seen
here this season. The Lafayettes will leave for
home this afternoon. They were the guests of
the Columbias at their clubhouse last night.
The greatest game of football of the year will
take place on Thanksgiving Day in Brooklyn.
IuG opponents VIII De llG 1dIG ana Princeton
Collegiate teams. The game will be PLAYED at
Eastern Park, and already over five thousand
dollars have been expended in putting the
grounds in shape for the contest and the larg-
est crowd that ever witnessed football en-
counter is expected to be present, the lowest
estimate placing it at 10000 The two teams have
been hard at work for three months, and 1t is
safe to predict that they will step on the field
lit TO battle in royal manner. Among the
great majority of people Yale has the call, sim
ply because of its signal defeat of the Uniyer-
sity of Pennsylvania, while Princeton had all
they could do to beat the Pennsy's. The Prince
tons have been severely crippled of late by in
juries to Capt Poe, Black, Riggs, and others,
but they will all be in condition by Thanksgiy-
ing Day TO give the New Haven boys the hard
est game they have ever played. Yale is in
good condition, and if the team emerges from
the contest played yesterday against Harvard
in good shape the odds will still be in her favor
Still there is a lurking impression that Prince
ton will win the game simply through the Won
deTful team work that Capt Poe has drilled
them to and the splendid discipline and man
agement of Manager Alan ID. Wilson. Prince
ton is a decided faYOrite here, and quite a large
delegation fl,Ha Washington will leave next
Wednesday ming for New York to see the
contest Appu alton for tickets are very nu-
meruus auu me from every section Of the
country. A l.rty of twenty-five from Omaha
have sent on tUr that number Of seats. 1t will
De great encounter.
