The Columbia Golf Club held another
"at home" Saturday afternoon, handicap
DOGGY match being the attraction that drew
out fully forty of the members to the
sporty" course. This was the second of a
series of Saturday events for the fall sea-
son, and the afternoons play was not only
very interesting. but beneficial to all. The
continued wet weather had made the
ground very soggy, and it was thought best
to use temporary greens. Taking these
handicaps into consideration the playing of
the nine gentlemen who handed in their
cards was excellent.
Alexander Britton, president Of the CO.
lumbia club. secured first prize, a handsome
silver cup, being one down On DOGGY, with
a medal play of IS and handicap. Mr..
Britton has always belonged in the steady
class OF golfers, but Saturday his work at

his victory was a very popular one. Mr.. E.

VICTORY FOR COLUMBIAN.
Western Maryland Team Made Locals
PLAY Their Best to Win.

Play Their Best to Win.
The foot ball team representing the Co
lumbar University administered defeat to
the team from the Western Maryland Col
lege on the Y. M. C. A. field Saturday aft
ernoon, the victors making the only touch
down during the game, the score at the end
of the second half being to in favor of
the local team.
Considering the small amount Of practice
the Columbian team has had this season 1t
played a remarkably good game, and IL the
good work continues until the end Of the
present season, 1t will be able to meet and
give some of the larger teams a hard fight
on the gridiron.
Church. the right half Of the Columbian
team, proved to be the star Of the game and
IL was he who scored the touchdown and
made the most numerous gains The out
of-town team won the toss-up and the ball
was kicked to Columbian's twenty-yard
line, where 1t was caught by Mackler, who
forced 1t back Ave yards, and from that
time the local team gradually pushed 1t
ahead until it was on Maryland's twenty
f1ve-yard mark. The latter team secured
the pigskin and Brown returned 1t to Co
lumbian's twenty-five-yard line. Church at
this point took possession of the ball. and
after run down the side lines, was not
stopped until he reached the enemy's TWEEN
ty-fve-yard line. On resuming play Church
again received the leather and was sent
over the line for touchdown.
With the teams lined up for the second
half Smith took Sneed's place at right end
for Columbian, but the game was called
after play of seven minutes because it was
necessary for the out-of-town team to catch
a train for home.
The line-up of the teams was as follows.
