somebody tossed to the bvrezcs were the
Columbia football players at the Polo Grounds
yesterday afternoon at The finish of their game
with the dark blue whirlwnd from New
Haven. which wrecked the home team lik"
a rampant tornado. At the end OF the first
half the score was Yale, d: Columbia, o, and.
though Yale had been playing two TO one bet
tsr football than Columbia the lattor's many
friends thought their team had A chance.
But the Yale giants had merely been Timber
Ing up il the first half-just feeling the other
side out. They concluded they had Couin-
bia's measure taken by the end OF the hall,
and no doubt they got talking to between
halves. for in the cond half the Columbia
men we're merely chips borne along by II
dark blue food. Yale rolled up Is points.
the final score being IS to O. Metaphoricsily
speaking. naught was left of Columbia but an
undaunted spirit. Columbia was always
lighting back the hardest She knew. though
aware that it was In hopeless cause.
All manner OF scoring was included in Dalo's
total--a safety by Columbia. goal from the
field. touchdowns by line buCkine and ono
touchdown on n thrilling run OF ninety-hye
yards by Shcvln. The game was far .'ss
spectacular than the one with PENNSYLVANIA
n week ago, but between the work OF the
victor yesterday and the victor a week ago
there was no comparison.
Columbia S total gain against Yale in rush
ing did not exceed twenty-five yards, and
Columbia's attacking could max" no mpr $
sion on Yale's defence, What the Yale line
failed TO do in stopping assaults tho Vale
backs did do, the defensive work OF the Yale
hackheld being superb. On the onenc'
great gaping rents were torn in the light
blue citadel, and through these stormcd the
Yale backs and tackles. with three or
four big. burly mates to drag them along
for every availab" inch Now and then
the Yale onslaught would be flung at tho
Columbia ends. and the Columbia flanks
proved far from imprc gnable. In fact, there
was no place Yale could not gain toward the
last. and from the be ginning to the end OF
the game she outplayed Columbia in every
detail, save that the Yale centre did not pass
as well for kicks as Bruce of Columbia
Yale did not Use her star quarter back.
Rockwell and while Soper played an excellent
game and was shrewd as to head work, he
did not impart the life and drive TO his men
that Rockwell is capable Of. The first part
of the first half dragged slowly. and the work
was crude until Yale got her bearings and
woke UP. In condition Yale easily cxcelled.
Columbia men were laid UP for repairs every
few minutes. and Capt. Smiths leg finally
became 80 lame that he had to withdraw,
much against his will. He was power IN
the defence while he lasted
Both Bowman and Mitchell kicked splen-
didly for Yale, placing the ball with beautiful
judgment The support they received from
their ends was in kee ping 1t was in fact

Metzenthin-who thought to run the ball
back might we'll have been chained to

well, but he had no chunce TO run puits back
as did Metcaif of Yale. because OF the great
superiority OF the ale ends. Metcaf was a
formidable ground gamer. but one fault
kept him from gaining more. and that WAS
indecision and hesitancy in running back
punts But he made no fumbles TO give
Colun bia score. as in the game with Penn
sylvania.
As for having the ball. Columbia was we'll
