THE VISITORS.
Columbla's hopes for a brilliant close ~ her
football season were completely crushed by the
Carlisle Indians Yesterday who overwhelmed
the Blue and White by the remarkable score or

throughout, but so far as football playing IL
concerned they met a foe hardly worthy OF their
steel
1t is clear that Columbia arrived az the zenith
Of her strength for the football season of lN7o
just in time TO defeat the Yale eleven. for IN
that contest nearly five weeks ago Columpia
showed power and dash and Development that
have been conspcuously absent almost ever
since The players have been plainly over
trained at times. and though the coaches be-
lieved that the college youths had rounded into
good physical condition again. II was evident
before the first fifteen minutes of play were over
yesterday that the New-Yorkers were far from
fit They were easily wnded and weIngh
wholly exhausted before the first half was over
PERFECT WORK BY INDIANS.
Columbias poor condition should not detract
in any way from tho brilliance OF the Carlisle
Indian victory, for the native North Americans
played a game yesterday that would have been
a doubtful proposition for the very strongest
varsity eleven on the gridiron TO tackle The
Indian Interference by far the best thinS
seen in New-YOrk this year. being superior IN
both compactness and speed to the first class
formations that Cornell displayed here against
Columbia. In fact, it would be extremely dlf-
fcult 10 pick flaws in the work Of the redmen-
Thev tackled with a ferceness and an audacity
that were never falling. They outSicked Colum-
bia on every exchange and when it came TO
rushing the ball whether through the line or
around the ends Carlisle was simply invincible.
PERHAPS the most noticeable feature OF their
play. however was their speed az all times
They played the fastest game seen on the grid
iron this season Yale's play at Cambridge
against Harvard was characterized as extremely
fast. but it was not so rapid as Carisles work
yesterday.
ONE SIDED ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
It goes without saying that the score Of 10 T.
was wholly unexpected in its hugeness by
the most ardent partisan Of the Indians anf
marks the game conspcuously. for the two
elevens had been considered on about an even
footing. and the odds were only slightly. II at
all. in favor Of the Indians. But almost from
the start It was apparent that Columbia was
outclassed After the first three minutes OF
play the red men began a series Of spectacular
end rushes that carried the ball close 10 CO.

After that the Indians made, one after another
series Of brilliant, hair-raisng dashes around
