COLUMBIA, II; WILLIAMS, 5.
Visitors Do Most Ground Gaining,
but Tumble Badly.

Columbia gained a hard won vicoory over
williams at American League Park yesterday.
The score was IL to 5. but this does not tell
the trouble that the Blue and White mad In
keeping the smaller college from tying the
score II the ground gained counts anything.
williams deserved TO win. for her backs car
ried the ball twice as far as did Columbia They
lost it on fumbles at critical periods. however.
Near the close of the second half HodgEnson.
OF Columbia had his knee so badly injured
that he will probably be out Of the game for
two or three weeks He was playing fulback
when his leg got tangled UP in scr1mrnage-
He had to be carried from tho field to the
dressing room, where examination showed
that he had a sprained tendon. The team ply
stefan said that he would probably have % re-
main in bed for some time.
Long before the game began lot Of Cofum-
bia men took possession OF the west stand,
They amused themselves by watching tbs
freshmen who practising under the direc-
ton Of w. E. Metzenthin. Columbia's crack
quarterback last year. The Williams support
ers occupied seats in the grandstand near by
and cheered the losing team Justify. Between
the halves the contingents Of both colleges fol-
lowed the old custom. and whiled the time
away by singing their college songs.
In the second half the Columbia men had no
reason to sing After two touchdowns had been
made, Morley evidently thought that the game
was assured, and sent several substitutes into
the Columbia line. Williams found the weak
spots at once. and IT was not long before A
Brown pushed over for touchdown. This
seemed to demoralize the Columbia men. FOR,
after the KICKOFF. Williams carried the ball
ninety-fve yards. going five, ten and even If
teen yards at a time before the Columbia team
could stop them. Even then the Morningside
team had lost it's power to gain, and was I'M
mediately forced to punt
Promptly at o'clock the Williams team
tramped on TO the field. AS the lined up
and ran through signal practice they looked
fully as strong as the Columbia team. which ap-
peared a few minutes later. The Williams back
field played with dash and vigor, and when IN
play they did not stop until the man with the
ball had been dragged to the last inch On the
defence the Williams line held like stone wall
at the beginning of the game. Only in the last
part of the first half and the first part OF the
second were the Columbia backs able to go
through it for any considerable gains.
COLUMBIA MUCH oFFsIDE
Columbia's work was marred by much offside
play Browne, who replaced Won Saltza, was
the worst offender In the second half he cost
Columbia twenty yards. Twice Columbia was
cffside on the KICKOFF, and had TO kick of again
from her 5O-yard line. Two more offences BY
Columbia men cost the team ten yards VIII
Jams lost only five yards in the entire game for
offside play. The play was marked by freedom
from unnecessary roughness
Columbia made most Of her gains by straight
nIunges through the line Donovans only at
tempt at a quarterback run was a faht :
Fisher at fuDack, and Won Sa4tZa, LoIn MS

effective on a tackle back play, IN Whlch ne

made by : Brown and A. Brown at right anu

to the Williams team. When he got the pan
