C0LUMBIA'S GREAT FINISH
TIES SCORE as CANE ENDS.
Goal from Field an Last Minute
Prevents Defeat by amherst.

ume was ~ 10 IN favor or Amherst, ana the Dali
was on Amhersts 24-yard line Most of Columbia's
followers had decided that defeat was inevita ble
when Morley sent in Schultz 10 replace Collins
quarterback. On the first play Schultz dropped
back for trial for goal from the field Straight
as die the ball flew between the goal posts and
Immediately time called.
The Columbia beachers wild During the
latter part of the game cheering had almost ceased
while the Blue and White contingent watched Hub
bard as he tore holes in the Columbia line for big
gains. Now all the pent up enthusiasm broke loose
Hats were hurled high in the air. and all broke
forth into mighty "Rah! Rah! Rah! Schultz!"
Then the crowd poured out the field, and. while
the disappointed New w-Englanders stood silent,
danced around the gridiron like wild Indians.
The play was credit to Moriey's good general
ship. Schultz is a senior at Columbia who has
never played on the varsity eleven before. He
played quarterback on his freshman eleven and
last year out for the varsity. when he gave
promise of becoming a good drop kicker. Early
this season hs came out again. and has been doing
good kicking since. 1t not believed. however
that Morley would put him in the Amherst game
The feat which he accomplished difficult be-
cause the ball at the extreme left OF the field
and Schultz had to kick at big angle, more
sensational finish has never been witnessed. It
was only equalled in the game between Yale and
princeton. several years ago. when Poe, of Prince
ton, made goal from the field in the last few
seconds Of play. Amherst made four points. like

Shattuck.
Columbia's only touchdown was made after six
minutes of play by straight football By line
plunges by DudeE and Won Saltza and two end
runs by Armstrong the ball was carried straight
from the middle OF the field to the goal line The

were both in the lineup and no evidences of bad

The biggest crowd that has been to American
League Park this year witnessed the game. The
west and south stands were well filed while the
grandstand held a large number Of people. The
east stand, which is only half finished. held a few
people scattered hers and there. Between the
halves five hundred people. who occupied 81 seats
IN the south stand, made raid on the 81 20 seats
IN the east stand Three policemen succeeded in
holding back only half Of the crowd.
A big crowd OF Amherst came down from
Massachusetts and made things lively in the cheer
ing line. They also brought plenty OF money with
them and offering odds Of 2 to l that the Am
herst team would be victorious. When they saw
the way the Blue and White played in the first
half the odds suddenly took a drop. After the
touchdown there was little Amherst money in
sight. although few Amherst men still had the
confidence to back the team between the halves
George Foster Sanford. who used to coach Colum-
ba. and who has been coaching Amherst recently,
occupied seat the Amherst side lines to the
annoyance OF the men in the Columbia bIeachers.
Although the game scheduled for 2:SO p. m,
1t was 2:45 before the Amherst team appeared on
the field. Columbia followed a few minutes later.
When the two teams lined up for signals Amherst
appeared as heavy Columbia and the Amherst
backs looked faster. Shattuck practised kicking
goals from the field for several minutes and
successful in several that he tried from the Syard
line.
It was an ideal day for football. The wind died
down to a breeze before the game began. In the
first half it bothered little. but toward the close
of the game it had noticeable effect. The tenn
perature such TO put life in the players and
keep them jumping up and down to keep warm.
The punting of both teams averaged we'll Fisher
got away several good ones for Columbia while
Lewis invariably sent away long ones for the op-
posing eleven. Columba's best gains were made
by straight line plunges by Duden and Won saltza
and by runs by Armstrong. For the first time this
