Blue and White.

Columh.a at American LeacUe Park yesterday
afternoon By a score Of l. 30 Q. Columbia s
heres OF q victorious seacon In her big games
with Tale Pennsylvania end Cornell received a
decided shock. and ehere were few Columbia ad-
sereats who would predict las- night anything
save defeat FOR the Biue and White in these
rhree matches. There was hardly a feature in
-olurnbia's play thai gare evidence Of promise
FOR TIE big game.
Coiurnia throushou. played very poor foot
hal ard Amherst played 4 far better game
There was &c point IN which Columbia col!d
really claim superiority 70 he visitors The
only reason Amherst cid not score oftener was
not because Of any strength OF The home team
but because OF the failure OF the visitors 20
take advantage OF their opportunities. Five
tines Amherst fumbled the ball AT critical
moments, and twice oRly. once IT each half. did
Columbia succeed in recovering the hall from
her opponents on downs.
Columbia might almost as well have had an
eleven OF seven men. so useless did the four
men or the left OF the line prove. Echeverria,
at left guard, was a target for the Amherst
hacks. and again and again he was thrown
aside as The Massachusetts men walked BY him
for substantial gains. Finnegan was another
weak spot, ard Brown was little better Post

For Columbia. Muir. al end, played an eT-
oelent game Metzenthin did his best at quar-

Fort trcrl his team mates, he vas unable 20 DO
much or quarterback runs. II was the lack OF
team playing that did much TO iose Columbia the
game. The men played each for himself. as
they did early in the season, and often they
had scarcely got into their places before Am
he-st had its play under way. and had rushed
the bah several yards before they were downed.
