Some of the Georgetown men made a
dash for a Columbia banner. but retreated
after one of them had been hustled about
by the bearers of the blue and red. Then
the Columbia men assumed the offensive,
and raided two large banners of the
fered, and arrested the leader of the Co.

his banner, amid the mingled Kisses and
cheers of the crowd. After he had been put

resulted in several side scraps. Two of the
men went rolling off on the foul field in a
fierce tussle, and there was a rush of police
men and spectators to separate them. They
were finally disentangled without serious
hurt, but in a few minutes big Mahoney

could resume play. The ball was then on
the ten-yard line of Georgetown, in the
hands of Columbia, and Wells pushed IL
through and johnson made a touchdown
