The defence OF the Columbia football
team collapsed before the determined and
swift moving onslaught of the big Cornell
men yesterday and the eleven young fell
lows who sport the blue and white were
forced to accept a humil ating defeat from
the Ithaca eleven. Lights were burning
and only tho dim outlines OF the twenty
two participants in the battle could be seen
through the dusk when tho game ended.
The final score was "a TO o, and a game
which at tho end of the first half promised
20 be at least close ended in almost a rout.
Columbia fought back stubbornly In the
first half, giving as good rs they received,
but in the second half the cnpples began

every minute. battered the Columbia men
down. toppled them over and hurled them
back, making three out Of the four touch
downs In the second half. Cornelrs score
was only five less than she made against
Columbia two years ago. but In yesterdays
game Columbia put up a much better fight.

and when his team formed for signal prao-
ticc no was not in line. The main handicap
that Columbia suffered through Weckes's
absence was in defence. Weekes's ability
10 head on men with the ball was sorely
missed Yesterday. Not only did the Cornell
backs End 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 was fatal to Columbia'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, wa almost useless In heading
OIL the brawny Cornell backs.
The result was not entirely unexpected.
The Sun contained a prediction yesterday
of "a 10 Din favor of Cornell and also pointed
out the other day that II Cornell won II
might be by a big score. One noticeable
shortcoming In Columbia'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

amount to much yesterday because the
ball carrier did not have enough help.
Smith who really did valiant work for Co
lumbia had To fight his way alone more than
once. The opening would be made for
him and he would find IL quickly. but there
was no one near to lend him a helping hand,

There was more speed and team work
in Comell's attack. The IthaoAns had
pretty interferenoe and they fooled the light
blue badly with the delayed pass. When
Columbia began TO stop this play the game
was nearly over.
The Columbia tackles wore q mark for
Cornell's attack. Gain after gain wa

score doubtless would have been closer

a position alongside the other backs.
