Of the human catapault than anything
else. and on that Thanksgiving day these
plays were used by both Georgetown and
the Columbia Athletics. with disastrous

tackle playing that day named Mahoney,
Big Mike as he was called, who after
ward played professional ball with the
Bostons. He was seemingly the mark of
the entire Columbia team, for in every
play they massed on him. He had the
appearance of a Grecian gladiator. for so
rough was the play that his clothes were
literally torn OFF him to the hips. and he
played a portion Of the game stripped to
the waist.
1T was in play with Big Mike that
little Shorty Bahen met the interference
that caused his injury and his ultimate
death. Bahen had the ball and was rum

Columbia Athletic players hurled them
selves on the fleeing men and felled them
to the earth and then piled on top. When
the scrimmage was separated Bahen lay
on the ground In a ewoon and had to be
lifted and carried of the grounds. while
Mahoney was found to have a badly
wrenched ankle. He would not leave the
game and played on until the end
