Makes Slide With Football.

There was remarkable play in the
recent Amherst-Columbia game, one
which smacked Of baseball rather than
football. An Amherst man was scoot-
ing diagonally for the Columbia goal
line with a Columbia man at his heels
and ready to pounce on him at any
moment. Just before the runner was
in the pursuer's grasp and about to
be thrown, he left his feet and slid the
remaining five yards for the goal line,
like man sliding for the plate. He
went head first with the ball under
him and his dive enabled him to elude
the Columbia mans clutch. It was .
rare play and one that bespoke quick.

After the Springfield game in 1894
relations between Harvard and Yale
were suspended until 1897. In 1895,
having only one big game, that with
Pennsylvania, Harvard and princeton
entered a two-year agreement, the 1889
game being scheduled early in Novem-
ber at Princeton.
The game was played in the ram

conditions were almost as unfavorable
as those under which the Harvard
Yale game was played at New Haven

This was one point better than that
