With constantly increasing power on tn,

twice was their goal line imperllled. and
then on plays which turned q Columbia mar
loose for long run. But even when within
striking distance OF Yale's goal the Blue and
White could make no further advance Not
electing to try field goals when the moment
was fairly propltlous, Columbia could make
no Roadway ut rushing. The so yard line
was the closest she came TO Yales goal line,
while the Dark Blue crossed Columbias goal
line six times. four In the second half.
The first half OF the game WAS by far the
better half on Columbia's part Morley'a
men played q great deal better football In
this half than heretofore this season. They
fought back gamely all the time. but In the
second half the pulsssnt attacking machinery
OF the Blue was In better working order than
in the first period. and 1t ground Columbia's
defence into a thoroughly ineffective con-
| dition. Some dashing work In the open made
Columbia prominent in the first half. and the
local men resisted Yals's attack splendidly.

was a lack OF harmony between line and

the game
Duell, Metzenthin. Thorp. Stanglsnd and
Brown were Columba's most reliable and
proficient performers against superior class.
Metzenthin did the puntlng for Columbia
and was surpassed by Hoyt OF Yale. who.
with one exception. punted beautifully.
This same Hoyt also played fine game in
other respects. and he alone saved Yale from
having one score made against her. Hogan
was power at line forcing. Roraba played
an admirable game at centre. and Klneon.

work Bloomer was not worked hard. More
vigilance and more sureness in tackling were
points that the game showed Yale still to
need. The New Haven men were not only
bigger brawnier and more learned in grid
iron points than Columbia. but they also
were in better condition. Columbia men were
stretched out frequently; Yale men rarely.
Columbia could not keep up the pace. being
strong in spirit but weak In the flesh.
