football teams from Ithaca and Column

rooters got all the cash, as we'll as the
glory Is Cornell won, shutting out the
Columbia team by score of % to 0.

glorious. In fact it could not have
been improved upon, and the conditions
were perfect for a good game. Fully
$500 persons witnessed the contest. Of
these 1900 passed through the several
entrances and crowded the stands and
bleachers. The remainder were packed

which were continuously echoed and re-

began with cake walk ard wound up
with war dance.
The second half was full Of good plays
and hard work in which Columbia was
