good material, but play an individual game, and
do not work together as a team. To a certain
extent the same can be said of the Columbias.
Their work lacked the snap and vim necessary
for success. They were slow to play the ball,
and lined up in a tardy manner. The backs
should play more together, and aid one another
in their runs. A great deal of fumblng was
done, and the necessity of some practice in fall
ing of Butterworth, Wells Hacker, and Harlan
is to be commended. Dashiell did some good
punting These faults can be easily overcome
by steady practice, and they will become more
apparent to the team when they meet some we'll
drilled college eleven. Messrs. Boynton and
Tyler were referee and umpire respectively.
The Columbia team was as follows: Rushers,
Williams, Wells, Lewis, Rainier, Wade, Harlan,
and Burroughs; quarterback, Emery; half
backs, Hacker and Butterworth; full-back,
Dashiell.
AS the finishing touch of the championship
meeting, the vaulting contests came off on the
morning of the 18th, darkness having prevented

clearing 10 feet inches, Crane, Of Harvard,

Charley Mills, of the Columbias, left Thurs
day night for Dallas, Tex, where he will prac-
tice law. He will be greatly missed at the club,
not only on account of his good-fellowship, but
for his warm interest in everything connected
with the G. A. c..
The Kendall football team is practicng every
day, and they expect to produce frst-class
eleven to meet all corners. Taylor, their great
quarterback, is on hand again, though the
service of that great player, Leitner, will be
sadly missed.
The Columbias will play the Haverford College
team next Saturday. Haverford, although a
comparatively light team, has the reputation of
playing a very pretty and scientific game. The
G. A. G. boys will have their hands full to de-
feat them.
Paul Dashiel, who made such an excellent
record as half-back on Lehigh's team last fall,
will probably play with the Columbia Club this
fall. His application is now pending. His
presence will greatly strengthen the G. A. G.
