Omaha daily bee., 1899-11-08


in the cheers and college yels which were
continuously echoed and re-echoed from the
field below.
The red and white of Cornell was more
plentifully distributed than the Columbia
colors, but the crowds seemed to be equally
divided in their allegiance to the rival teams
When Cornell scored the first touchdown and
kicked goal the Ithacan sympathizers broke
loose and the waving mass of red and white
flags and ribbons extended over some forty
acres of northern Gotham.
Columbia Loses Two Players.
Columbia was very much crippled shortly
after the opening Of the game by losing the
service Of Wright at right guard, who was
disqualified for slugging. A few minutes later
Captain Wilson was forced to retire and soon
afterward Cornell scored, Wallbrdge run
ming and dodging for forty yards through
Columbia's players, and planting the ball be-
hind the line. Young kicked the goal and
Cornell counted six points.
The remainder of the first half was not
productive of any further scores and during
the intermission between the halves the Cor
nell enthusiasts treated the spectators to a
series of evolutions. which began with a
cakewalk and wound up with wardance.
The second half was full of good plays and
unfortunate. Cornell was always the
stronger, and the touchdowns and subsequent
goals, and a goal kick by Young, aggregat-
ing twenty three points, were added to Cor
nell's score. At the end of the game Column
bia had failed to gain point and the game
ended in Cornells favor, 80 to 0.
