The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-10-24

Pennsylvania and the le-Columbia
games admit more readily of being
forecasted.
Some Dope on Columbia.
Columbias victory over Amherst last
Saturday showed that the Blue and
Whites splendid material has at last
got together. Amherst possessed re-
markedly strong eleven for minor
college. Her victory over Harvard
was due partly to that fact and partly
to luck, but the fact that up to the
time Stangland made his sensational
touchdown for Columbia last Saturday,
Amhersts goal line had not been press
ed, speaks for itself. And yet Amherst
was never able seriously. to threaten
Columbia at any time during the game
Hardly was she able even to gain her
distance through the Columbia line.
There is no doubt, judging the game
not from the score but from the way
it was played. the Columbia demon
strated her superiority in an impressive
manner
Stangland'S touchdown was one of
the curious and unexpected occurrences
which are always taking place on the
football field. The game began with
Bruce's kickoff. Shay of Amherst
iumoled the ball near his twenty-yard
line, and it rolled over the goal line.
Amherst had defeated Harvard by TAX
ing advantage of fumbles. and now
