| NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Genuine, unadul-
| terated football weather prevailed for the
| Columbia Georgetown game at the Polo
Grounds this afternoon, and under its in
vigcrating effects the Columbia team
ripped through the Georgetown eleven to
the extent of three touchdowns. The
score was is to in favor of the Light
| Blue. which outplayed Georgetown from
kickoff to whistle. The day was cold and
raw and there was hardly any wind, con-
ditions that made spectators shiver. but
players were at their liveliest.
Most of the activity was shown by Co
lumbia. Georgetown being kept busy in
trying to withstand the hammering to
which the Columbia backs subjected their
line. The Columbia backfield did consis-
tent and effective work throughout the
game. Columbia made one touchdown in
the first half and two in the second, Nor
ley kicking all three goals. The score
would have been % to 0 If Morley had
not missed the easiest kind of a place kick
for goal
The game was hammer and tongs af-
fair, not very entertaining because there
was little kicking, not much play in the
open, and long runs. The Columbia
men found they could best advance the
ball by banging away at Georgetowns
line, and they kept up steady advance
for the most. part. A close formation
was used chiefly and Columbia's attack
was concentrated to good effect. The
Georgetown tackles were weak spots in
the defence, but the ends stood up well
and less progress was made by Columbia
at those points.
Weekes did not hurdle as much as usual.

great offensive ability again manifested
itself. Georgetown threatened to make
touchdown just once, when Hart cleared
Columbia's right end for 20 yards on a
delayed pass. Weekes alone interposed
between Hart and the goal line and
Hart, who punted for Georgetown. was
very weak in that department. while Nor
ley was as reliable as ever. Man Tor man,
Columbia was stronger than Georgetown,
and also in team play. The visitors how
ever, fought hard all the time and the
nearer the ball got to their goal line the
sitter the resistance they put up.
After Columbias s kickoff Georgetown,
seeing that rushing was useless, punted,
and Columbia started out an attack whicn
was slow at first but grew better as it
advanced the leather 90 yards; then 1t
was lost on a tumble. Hart punted and 1

yards. This was when Morley tried his |
goal from place and missed. Hart punted /
to Weekes on Columbia's 45-yard line, and /

He was lively as a cricket, however, and |
tackled in fine style.
Before the third touchdown Columbia |
rushed the ball 80 yards whereupon

lumbia was the verge of a touchdown
in no time. The Georgetown men resisted |
gamely. but could not keep Weekes from
crossing the boundary.
