the right end for five yards, and when the big
pile disentangled itself. Captain Smith was
stretched out stiff. The trainer and doctor
put him on his feet and Metcalf gained five
yards more round the same end. Again Smith
was stretched out at the bottom of the heap.
Owsey bucked the centre for three yards and
Bowman for five, Bruce. of Columbia, being
brushed aside though he were a fly. Bow

YALE MAKES COSTLY TUMBLE.
The Yale students and alumni, of a
touchdown, cheered wildly while the Columbia
cheers called her sons TO stand as adamant
A tumble saved a touchdown for Yale then and
Metzenthin, getting it, carried it to the 40
yard line, well out of danger. Only three min
utes of play was left for the half and the Co.
lumbia men were jubilant. Columbia had done
nothing on the offensive. but had we'll with
stood Yale's attack and they augured even bet
ter for the next half.
Smith and Metzenthin failed to gain the re-
quired number of yards, and Bishop punted
Metcalf carrying the ball fifteen yards before
he was downed. Owsley plunged between
Stangland and Bruce for three yards but Co
lumbia stopped further advance on the next try
and got the ball.
Gains of two and three yards were the best
Yale could do, and she resorted to more kicking
by which she gained most every time. The half
ended with the ball about in the middle of the
field.
THE SECOND HALF
Yale began the second half with fierce rapid
play after Bruces kickoff, directing her attacks
chiefly at stangland Sedgwick and Bruce. She
also made gains around Bishops end by the aid
of indestructibe Interference. The Columbia
men seemed to grow weak suddenly while their
opponents became stronger. After gaining six
yards two plays through Stangland and
Sedgwick, Hogan went around the left end for
twenty-five yards, Bishop stopping his charge
and Metzenthin bringing him TO earth. In the
scrimmage Owsey became dazed, and though
he could have played. it was thought best 10 re-
tire him. Mitchell took his place Yale punted
and Metzenthin made a safety costing Column
bia two points after the ball went behind the
goal posts. Rafferty, and Shevlin throwing him
back Bowman was taken out at this juncture
and Farmer went in his place. Farmer jumped
into the game with rush, taking the ball
through Sedgwick for ten yards.
AGAIN YALE FUMBLEs.
After gaining two yards more Yale fumbIed.
and Metzenthin took ii around the left end for
six yards. Smith gained two yards through
Yale's centre, and made the mistake of kicking
the first down. Mitchell punted in return
sending the ball out of bounds. On CoIumbia's
kickoff Mitchell gained twenty yards around
the right end, but Yale penaiized that dis
lance for offside play. Again Mitchell punted
out of bounds, and in the scrimmage that fol-
lowed the kickoff Smith was laid out once
more Hogan and Kinney made a hole and
dragged Mitchell through il for fifteen Yards
and in two more bucks through the line had the
ball on Columbia's 15-yard line Hogan took
the ball to the o-yard line and then, the Column
bia lire melting away like butter Mitchell was
pushed through for the first touchdown.
