New York. Nov. S.-Corneh and CO.
lunrbia were well represented at Man
haitian Field yesterday afternoon when
the foot bail teams from ithaca and the
local university met on the gridiron.
Columbia was pronounced fayorite at
to 4. But the woarers OF the red and
white had plenty OF hackers, and the
1thacan rooters got all the cash as well
as the glory. as Cornell won, shutting
out the Columbian ream by score OF
29 to O.
The weather during the afternoon
was glorious. In fact it could not have
been improved upon. and the conditions
were perfect for a good game. Fully
$4,000 persons witnessed the contest. or
these 1900 passed through the several
entrances and crowded the stands and
bleachers. The remainder were packed
like slrdines ON the big yiaduct. and
along the new road upon the heights
TO the westward "Coogans Bluffs
and the surrounding points OF vantage
overlooking the inclosure afforded ac-
commodatiOn to thousands OF dead
heads who joined I'm the cheers and col-
lege yells, whlcn We're continuously
echoed ana re-echoed from the field be-
low.
The red and white of Cornell was
more plentifully distributed than the
Columbia colors. but the crowds seemed
ITO be equally divided in their allegiance
to the rival teams.
When Cornell scored the first touch
down and kicked a goal the Ithacan
sympathiZers broke loose and the way
ing mass OF red and white flags and
ribbons extended oyer some 40 acres AT
north Gotham.
Columbia was very much crippled
shortly after the opening of the game
by losing the services OF Wright at
right guard, who was disqualified for
slugging. A few minutes later Capt.
Wilson was forced TO retire and soon
afterwards Cornell scored, Walbridge
running and lodging for 40 yards
through Columbia's players, and plant
ing the bail behind the line Young
kicked the goal and Cornell scored six
points.
The remainder OF the first half was
not productive OF any further scores. and
during the intermission between the
halves the Gornellites treated the spec
tators to a series of evolutons which
began with a cake walk and wound up
with war dance.
The second half was full OF good
plays and hard work in which Colum-
bia was at times unfortunate. Cornell
was always the stronger and with two
more touchdowns and subsequent goals
in addition TO a place kick by Young.
% points were added TO Cornells score.
AT the end OF the game Columbia had
failed TO tally point ana the contest
ended in .Cornells favor with a total
