COLUMBIA LIKE A STRAW.
BROWN ELEVEN MAKE GAINS AT WILL
AND WINS BY 2s TO o.


/ the Columbia warriors were swept down the
field as they have not been in many a day.
Brown simply outplayed Columbia at every
point. and it only the shortening of the
second half by nearly fifteen minutes that saved
a worse defeat for the White and Blue. The
first half was a full thirty-ive minutes. and
the second a little less than twenty-five.
The playing was Of sufficient time to fully
demonstrate that Brown has good team this
year and that the Columbia eleven has deterio-
rated most lamentably. Columbia played poorly
al Princeton but she did even worse yesterday.
During the battle Brown advanced the ball close
to five hundred yards. while Columbia certainly
did not advance the leather more than fifty dur

the nearby elevated road and the heights on

second half Columbia apparently muddled

but the opportunity was allowed to slip. and the
only chance to escape n whitewash was gone
Columbia had repeatedly shown her inability to
break through the Brown line TO gain around
the ends and when the ball got as close to the
Brown goal line every enthusiast on the grounds
expected Captain Weekes at least 10 try for
goal from the field. Possibly Weekes knew that
his line would not hold for him. and that may
have been the reason why he did not try it, 1t
was clearly Coumbia's only chance 10 score.
BROWN LINE STRONG.
