coLuMB1AN's FIRST VICTORY.
Defeated Gallaudet by the Close Score
of g to O.

The foot ball team Of. Columbian Univer-
sity scored it's first victory of the season
last Saturday afternoon when 1t defeated
the eleven from Gallaudet College on Van
Ness field by 6 to o. The game was hotly
contested and considerable enthusiasm was
manifested during the gridiron struggle by
the large crowd of spectators. The CAL
laudet boys, while considerably lighter
than their opponents, put up plucky fight
and their team work was decidedly superior
to that Of Columbian. The latters line
seemed weak, the men playing high and
wide apart. The work Of Columbian's
backs, however, was particularly good with
the exception of fumbles. which occurred
frequently.
Columbian should have secured a larger
score. but poor judgment was exercised In
directing the plays. The Column ian backs
were allowed only four end runs during the
two halves. and in each instance a gain {
from ten to fifteen yards resulted. By
using greater variety of plays, and es-
pecially more end runs Columbian'S score
undoubtedly would have been considerably
larger.
No touchdown was scored in the first half
and the honors were pretty evenly divided
although the ball was In GalIaudIts terri
tory nearly all the time. In the beginning

first five.
The additional weight of the pins this
year, which is approx imately four pounds
continues to harass the players and the
awful split is still getting In its deadly
work with disastrous frequence The spare
bowling, however, improves steadily ana
taken as whole the work of the Din
butchers this season is much superior to the
last year.
One indication of the steady advance Is
the increasing number In the 10 class"
twenty men now having reached ITO or
better, while only sixteen were over that
mark the previous week. Douglass of the
Post Office team has made the longest
climb upward. moving from twenty third
petitors. Parker, Brown. Lord. Garrett and
Allen have also made substantial advances
up the line.
Teams Leaders.
The leadership Of the teams has changed

more games thirtyeight are past the 100
mark against twenty-three under It, which
would be more than a creditable showing
for mid season work, and is remarkable at
this early stage.
Lord, by climbing from 1877 to III aver
age, has increased the number Of Bureau
bowlers in the seventies" from four to
five. while CARROTS rise to 10 has also
accomplished the same feat for the Inte-
riors. The Commissioners still have three
men In the 10 class Navy three, Agricul-

advanced the number of Post Office men
from one to two, and the G. p. o. now has
a representative in the swagger set in

tween Lennon and Hardie for high indi-
vidual game by running a string of 236.
