The defence OF the Columbia football
team collapsed before the determined and
swift-moving onslaught Of the big Cornell
men Yesterday and tho eleven young fell
lows who sport the blue and white were
forced TO accept a humili ating defeat from
the Ithaca eleven. Lights were burning
and only the dim outlines Of the twenty
two participants in the battle could be seen
through the dusk when the game ended.
The final score was "a TO o, and a game
which at the end Of the first half promised
20 be at least close ended in almost a rout.
Columbia fought back s~tubbornly in the
first half, giving as good IA they received.
hut in the second half the cripplcs began
70 weaken and Cornell, growing stronger
every minute. battered the Columbia men
down, toppled them over n hurled them
back. making three out Of the four touch
downs in the second half. Cornell's score
was only five less than she made against
Columbia two years ago. but In yesterdays
game Columbia put up a much better fght.
The Columbia partisans were OF tho

tho field to see whether their msinstay
Weekes would play. They saw tho star
half back In uniform but he was limping
painfully. He hobbled across to a bench.
and when his team formed for signal prac-
,ice nc was not in line. Tho main handicap
that Columbia suffered through Weekes's
absence was in defence. Weekes's ability
TO head of men with tho ball was sorely
missed yesterday. Not only did the Cornell
baclis find great gaps in the Columbia
line TO jump through, but the lack Of the
right man to stop them after they cleared
the scrimmage and were racing over the
chalk marks WIS fatal to Coluinbia's hopes.
First Berrien played back on the defence
for Columbia. Later Willard dropped back.
Berrien going up TO brace the line. Had
this change not been made Columbia would
have Jared better, as Willard. who was lame
and bruised, was almost useless In heading
N the brawny Cornell backs.
The result was not entirely unexpected.
The Sun contained a prediction yesterday
of "a to o in favor Of Cornell and also pointed
out the other day that If Cornell won 1t
might be by "a big score. One noticeable
forthcoming in Colurnbia's play was that
the man with the ball did not receive the
proper amount of assistance. The close
formation Of backs is a good play with the
backs working together. but IL did not
amount to much yesterday because the
ball carrier did not have enough help.

The Columbia tackles were a mark for
Cornell's attack. Gain after gain was
made through Kindgen. Bruce, who has
also been on the I'M ured list, did well con-
sidering his lamcness and was much steadier
than Kindgcn. Al advancing tho ball,
however, from the Ia ckle ZACH formation

tendency to tumble. Tho combination
OF Willard at quarter and Morley at half
hack did not prove a good one for Columbia,
though the best she could do under the
circumstances. Morley at quarter probably
would have stea died the whole team. While
the form displayed by Cornell was such as
TO prove that che would have won the
game under any circumstances. still the
.cnro doubtless would have byen closer
with Morley at quarter and Weekos at
lalf. Besides the delayed pass the Cornell
'ormation Of dropping one of her giant
guards back was effective, the guard taking
position alongside the other backs.
