The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-11-03
Columbia II, U. of Penn.

New York Nov. 2.-Between 5000 and
5000 people saw the Columbia football
team shut out the team of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania at the Polo
Grounds today In the first half Co
lumbia scored two touchdowns, from
one of which a goal was kicked, while
Pennsylvania failed to get near their
opponents goal line In the second half
the University of Pennsylvania men
played much stronger game, and for
the greater part of the latter half kept
the ball in Columbia's territory. They
finally weakened, however, and while
they kept the wearers Of the blue and
white from scoring, the ball was in
Pennsylvania territory when time was
called, the final score reading: Column
bia II, Pennsylvania 0.
This is a brief history of the game,
and it nearly tells the entire story. The
visitors were the lighter team, but just
what might have happened had the full
strength of the Columbia team been
available, there is no telling.
Kingdom, Columbia's giant tackle. who
was injured in the game against Yale,
and Bruce, who became victim of the
earnest players of Haverford College
were much missed, whilst parental in
reference prevented Jackson from APP
pearing in his usual position at left end
Pennsylvania "rooters," spurred or
by the strains of their student band
made the welkin ring with encouraging
shouts to the wearers of the red and
blue, but their efforts were all to nc
purpose.
In the first half, Weekes, with his
usual aggressiveness, got around the
end and planted the ball behind the
Pennsylvania goal line. after a run of
70 yards, amid the joyous shouts and
ear-splitting cheers of the New York
ers. He placed the ball fairly between
the goal posts and Morley kicked a
goal.
There was good deal of see-sawing
on the field before Columbia showed
the master hand once more and this
time Weekes again turned up exactly
in a place where he was wanted. This
time he scored a touchdown far to the
right of the goal posts, and when the
ball was carried out for Morley to kick
it, it was at such an awkward angle
that the quarterback failed to send it
between the posts.
In the second half. Pennsylvania
twice seemed to have a chance of scor-
ing. Twice they fooled the local team
on trick plays, and from the press
stand it looked as if they had been sue
cessful on a place kick, but the ball
went wide Of the mark and was carried
out % yards. The occasion was when
Gardner got around Columbia's right
end and had gained about 20 yards
when Weekes tackled him. Following
is the lineup and summary
