WHEN A DOG WON THE GAME.
CoIumbia's Bull Terrier Inspired the
 Team to Victory Over Cornell.

Writing in Great Moments of Foot tan, Edward Lyen Fox says that something drama tic will often turn a routed team into a tremendous fighting force. He writes:
 Another remarkable turning of a game between the halves occurre at Ithaca in 1905 Cornell led Columbia by to when the teams returned to the dressing rooms. Columbia had not recovered from a wearing game with Princeton the week before. Many of the men were overtrained- There was 8 distinct feeling of the hopelessness of it all when the players lay down upon the floor and benches. Only Bill, white bull terrier mascot, showed signs of 1iveliness. It was cold in the dressing room and a trainer shook the ashes in the stove- He used poker, the end of which became red hot. When finally he laid down the metal rod and red whitened, but the heat remained. Bill, deciding that the polk CT was to be played with like a stick, caught the heated end In his mouth. Instantly his lips scared and turned black Bill only shook the poker hard CT. Two men grabbed him and tried to force him to open his mouth. But Bill fought back and finally they had to choke him before he would loosen his grip. It was then that Coach Nor ley nudged Captain Fisher and point ed to the dog. Catching the idea, Fish CT sprang to his feet and built up a speech around Bill. He compared Bilrs nerve to the team S and asked the men f. they were not ashamed of them selves. His closing sentence was Just play for Bill. Bill BiH!'
 When Columbia returned to the field Bill, yeiping furiousiy led the way All through the half the team heard him barking from the side lines. Said Von Sa-ltze, the big tackle, after the game:
 I've heard every yeip, and it sim ply drove us
 Also Bills yelpine was go good that Columbia won out, 12 to S.
