Though II will be admitted by almost any
football expert who saw yesterdays game
thai the Pennsylvania eleven is the weakest
that has represented the Red and Blue IN
many years. one cannot detract from the
credit due the local Varsity for as clean

- II was in Columbia's victory over Yale
two years ago that Harold Neekcs, then a
freshman, electrified the football world
with q magnificent run down the field which
ended in a touch down and a victory over
the New Havenites. 1t was in the game
with Princeton last year that Weekcs again
distinguished himself. but in yesterdays
contest with the Quakers this superb nth-
lete excelled all previous efforts and when
the battle ended as the shadows of night
came on he was carried away upo the
top of a human tidal wave that rushed
out OF the grounds rejoicing at the victory
II was a great run of s~eyenty-fvc yards
by Weekes in the first half that yielded
Columbia's first touchdown and not long
afterward it was a dash Of fifteen yards
by the same player which increased Co
lumbia's score TO eleven points, and in the
second half il was by virtue Of two great
tackles by Weekes that Reynolds and
Gardinor were cut short in runs that
otherwise would have yielded touch downs.
So il was that Weekcs was a giant for Co
hmbia in that he led in point Of attack
and was a power in effective defence.
These were the brilliant plays Of the game,
but they were not the only ones made by
