LOOKED LIKE A FREE FIGHT.
Large Police Force Needed at the
Columbia Wesleyan Game.

NEW YORK, October 1T looked for
time as If the Columbia Wesleyan foot ball
game at American League Park today,
which resulted in a tie, neither side scor-
ing, would end in a free fight when Bailey,
Wesleyans fullback, jumped on Armstrong
of Columbia as the latter lay PROSTATE on
the field at the end of long run. For fully
five minutes the Columbia players fought to
get at Bailey and the presence of a large
police force alone quieted them. Armstrong
was removed from the game.
Although in better physical condition than
Wesleyan and able to gain more ground the
Columbia men could not keep up d winning
pace long enough to score.
In the first half Columbia worked the ball
down to Wesleyan's 20-yard line, only to
lose it on a tumble. In short time it was
carried down to within twenty yards of Co
lumbias goal by a series of line snashes
and 35-yard trick run by Van Surdam,
Wesleyan's quarterback. The Columbia line
yielded but ten yards, then held, and Arm
strong punted to the middle of the field as
time was called.
Columbia started in the second half with
a rush, hitting the line for five yards at
time. but Wesleyan braced, kicked out of
danger and succeeded in holding Columbia
off until time was called. Lineup:

EASY FOR HARVARD.
Defeated the University of Maine,
90 to O.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, October 7-Without
having her own goal threatened Harvard
defeated the University of Maine % to 0. on
Soldiers field today, scoring three times in
the first half of twenty minutes and once
in the second during ten minutes of play
The only poor feature in the Harvard play
was the holding in the line, which resulted
in heavy penalties. The lighter Maine team
could make but little progress against the
Harvard line and usually punted on the
second down. At the outset the crimson
players began an onslaught on the Maine
goal, which ended on the 25-yard line
through heavy penalty. The ball was re-
gained, however, and the first touchdown
came in short order Harvard then rushed
the ball half the length of the field for the
second touchdown. The third score was
due to a blocked ball on Names 12-yard
line by Montgomery
Within three minutes of play in the sec
ond half Harvard got the ball on poor
punting by Maine the latter's 20-yard
line and touchdown followed within a
minute.
Harvard was on the way for fifth score
when Parker held and another penalty sent
the crimson back. Lineup and summary:

Novel Plan Adopted

. .
One of the most important moves that
has been made in the connection with the
building of automobiles in this country has
for its purpose the carrying out of seien-
tific experiments to ascertain just what
grades and compositions of steel metal are
best for the production of reliable cars. A
combination of American manufacturers
has entered into an arrangement with one
of the biggest concerns in the steel in
dustry and the outcome should give this
country decided advantage over the Euro
pean producers. Heretofore this has been
impractieable because the steel firms would
not cooperate except when there was a
prospect of big orders for the same quail
ity of goods
The several automobile makers have all
been ordering differently; this one a GER
tain grade of steel for its crank axles, and
another for its shafting and other parts.
while others ordered totally different sorts
of steel for the same parts. Under such
circumstances II would not pay-the steel
company to experiment fcc any one Gus
toner, SO each has ordered according 10 his
wisdom or prejudice.
Under the new arrangement a man ac-
counted the cleverest metaliurgist In the
country and employed by the steel interests
will work together with a metallurgist en-
ployed by the makers to ascertain just what
grades Of material are best fer each feature
of construction. Tie concerted action OF
manufacturers in this matter WAS the only
way to get the steel industry to take an in
terest in solving this problem, so vital to
automobile makers. The metallurgist rep
resenting the automobile makers VIII work
with the steel interests to solve. not only
the question of the best grades of steel
for engine and body parts but also the best
composition Of metal for bearings and all
other purposes.
These questions having been settled, and
goods ordered In quantity by the cooper
ating manufacturers, he will test, cheni-
that It Is up TO specifications before It Is
delivered and will Issue a certificate to that

Foot ball is much older game than the
rule books would lead one to suppose.
Though generally called an English game,
It did not have it's origin in England any
more than the famous match between Har-
ward ard Yale in 1916 assigns It to this coun-
try. A contest similar to foot ball, as It
was before the English associations were
formed and the game started on it's course
of new development, was one of the ma
tional sports of Rome and a frequent
pastfme of the athletes of Greece. There
can be no doubt that the young men who
followed the army to Britain from Rome
taught the game to the young natives of
England, by whom it was transmitted to
later times. 1t is doubtful even whether the
ancient game had it's beginning in Greece
or Rome, for the inflated skin or bladder
kicked on a level field to opposite goals
seems to suggest the pastoral sport that
might have developed among the sons of
shepherds on the plains of Mesopotamia
In Greece the game was called Hepisku-
ros and was played by great number of
persons divided into two companies OPP
posed to one another There were few
rules, except that the ball, or follis, must
not be seized or thrown, but kicked.
Among the Romans the game was called
Harpastum. the name signifying to seize,
and in the Roman game liz was allowed the
players to grab the ball and with it
precisely as In the modern Rugby play.
The Harpastum is described by Roman
writers as being played by dividing into
two companies and striving to throw the
ball into one another's goal, which was the
conquering cast. The scrimmages which
attended both the Grecian and Roman
forms of the game were quite as bolster
Gus and sometimes as disastrous as in
these modern days.

and so rough did the play become that
James 1 forbade the heir to the throne
from engaging in it. Both sexes and all
ages appear to have participated in the
games shutters had to be put up on houses

sometimes fatal, occurred between the

respectively, down to the formation OF tho
British Foot Ball Association in 1853 and
the Rugby Association in 1871. From
these two bodies have grown the modern
rules, organization of teams and all the
scientific features of the sport.
Foot ball in the United States was trans
planted from England. 1t first grew up
in the colleges and passed from them to
the amateur field of sport The game in
American colleges was undoubtedly made
popular, if it was not wholly inspired by
the graphic descriptions of the English
game contained in Tom Browns School

game began to command serious attention
and started upon a metamorphosi5 which
