Father Knickerbocker and Father Penn
had 1t out yesterday In their great gridiron
clinch, and the stout old Quaker. from
whom so much was expected. was tossed
violently UP and down and across the chalk
ribbed arena Of the Polo Grounds and finally
put on his back. Fighting back always. he
was. nevertheless. slowly. surely forced down
to defeat. His was the fight OF the valiant.
but no less the fight Of the loser. for through
out the sixty minute grapple he was nearly
always the under dog, Over the trampled
red and blue of Pennsylvania was the white
and blue Of Columbia, the latter colors some
what discolored and torn. but still the emblem
OF decisive victory. Three touchdowns and
their dependent goals for Columbia. and
one touchdown and goal for Pennsylvania
was the final score-is to the totally un-
looked for figures by which Columbia won.
Muns Of punts played an important
part in the game. Columbia scored irst.
and the score was the almost direct result OF

and right after Columbia mum. Then
Pennsylvania muffed again and touchdown
for Columbia was the immediate outcome.
The score was to at the end Of tho first
half. and the fighting had been even. In
the second half Columbia outplayed the
Quakers completely. and tn roughout the game

Columbia's interference for running back
kicks was splendid. IL formed instantly
and compactly. and the man with the ball
shot along behind It at high speed. Tho
Pennsylvania backs. except A. Smith. who
was their only reliable ground gamer. lacked
the dash and determination OF the Columbia
men. and even Smith ran hesitatingly at
times. But he had no such protection as
the Columbia men. Me tzenthin was Co.
lumbia hero. His knaok Of always being
close to the ball and his speed enabled him to
make two touchdowns in the second half.
