Columbia with ignominy on Saturday In
the game played at New York. and tho
spectators who witnessed the game GER
tainly got their moneys worth OF sport
Considering that Referee McCracken cut
the second half down TO 21h minutes the
work OF the Brown team is particularly
worthy of commendation. for Il played
but 56l1 minutes. instead OF the 20 min
utes which had been settled upon by the
management.
Columbia was a badly beaten team.

In Joe Golfer Brown seems to have n
man who can kick for goal with some
degree OF certainty. and he kicked three
goals out OF five Saturday. But the fact
remains that Brown has lost one game
an ten points because of the fact that
goal kicking has not been given the same
attention that the other points Of the
game has been given. In all Brown has
scored sS points this year against 40 for

ROUGH PLAYING BY COLUMBIA.
The game Saturday was rough from
beginning To end. The Columbia men
seemed TO be particularly strenuous and
they apparently used every effort to lay
out the Brown players. Pure Brown grit
won out for IL usually took the whole
Columbia team to stop n Brown man. and
not always then. Lynch I'm one instance
dragged Barry flve yards with big
Columbia man hanging on to- Barry's
heels and Sheehan and Webb often gal
loped down the field dragging n Brown
man and a couple Of Columbia men
One OF the prettiest plays OF the game
was when Barry darted off under Tim
Sheehans wing and after Sheehan had
fallen by the wayside he eiuded all Of
the Columbia backs and plunged ever
the line after run Of S yards An In
stance of Columbia roughness was then
apparent for the Columbia men pfcd
themselves on Barry. who was undues-
tionably across the line and down.
Considering the result OF the game the
players are nursing their bruises glec-
fully. Captain Barry came through the
game weak but as plucky as ever Lynch
was retired because he was kickei so
frequently about the head that " was
