COLUMBIA FIVE
BEATEN AGAIN
MOrningside Team Is
Trimmed by Cornell in
SO to Is Game.

That dull thud heard on Morningside
Heights last night, about 10 o'clock
was the Columbia basketball team
landing hard on the floor Of the inter
collegiate basketball league cellar,
after the five from Cornell University
had defeated the Blue and White by a
score of 36 10 10, in the Columbia gym
nasium.
The Morningside team has only won
one game in the league race and has
lost Z, which, ss all baseball statis-
ticians know, gives il an average Of
.l2j per cent, almost q clean sweep of
defeats.
Shelton. for Cornell. was the most
prolific scorer of the lot, shooting SIX
goals from the field, an unusual ac-
complishment fer a guard. Brown and
Srtterby also aided Cornell materially
in running up her winning total, maxi
ing sixteen points between them.
Wiiber, playing at right guard for
Columbia. played his best game of the
wear. The football star shot three
goals from the field. two of them OF
the sensational variety. Ii was the first
time this season that he had so distin-
guished himself, but his efforts were
not sufficient to stem the Red tide. Will
Der did not enter the game until the
second half
Cornells passing and goal shooting
were far superior to Columbia's, and
the Blue and White forwards were con-
tinually tricked by their opponents fast
play. Columbia lacked the services of

JANOWSKI TOO MUCH
FOR CHARLES JAFFE

d. Janowski. chess champion Of
France. scored frs' blood in his match
with Charles Jaffe, yesterday, by de-
feating the New Yorker in the opening
game Of their match OF five games up.
draws not counting, played at Mar
shalPs Chess Divan.
Jsffe won the toss for first move
and, getting the white pieces, essayed
queens pawn opening, which Jan
owski treated irregularly. The New
Yorker bided his time until his ad-
versary had castled on the kings side
and. ten moves later. retired his king
to the other side of the board.
Meantime. Jatfe had advanced vigor-
ously against the black kings position
and drove him toward the centre. Jan
owski, however. kept his poise. and
played the better game of the two
from then on. The upshot was that
the French champion swept Off all OF
the white pawns on the kings side of
the board, and by means Of these he
won the game after forty moves. The
second game will be contested to-mor-
row afternoon.

CRESCENTS BEAT
ST. NICK TEAM
Hobey Baker Tries in Vain
to Stem Tide i'm Fast
Hockey Game.
By BRIGGS

The 81. Nicholas club suffered it's
first defeat in six contests at the hands
of the Crescent Athletic Club in a
game at the st. Nicholas Rink last
night The score was 20 |. But
what brilliant fight did the wearers
Of the Santa Claus men put up before
they were yanquishedl The cham
pions fought doggedly right up to the
final second, led hy the brilliant Hobey
Baker.
Both of the Crescents' goals came in
the opening period. while Baker
counted the single st. Nick tally in
the second half. II was the most stub
born contest of the season. Too much
credit for the Crescent victory cannot
be piled upon the shoulders OF Smart, al
goal; the big Canadian Heffernan, AZ
rover. and Mccarthy. az left wing.
Shot after shot, and Smart must have
thought it was shrapnel, was sent
against the Crescent cage, but invaria-
bly, the attempts of the ST. Nicks to
score we're vain.
Many a close call the followers OF
the Brooklyn seven had. IL was esti-
mated that some thrty-fye "volleys'
were fired against the Crescent net, but
only one found lts mark.
Heffernan was a tower OF strength
both on the offence and defence. Time
and again he would break up the team
work of the st. Nicks, and on five diff
ferent occasions Baker saw the big
Canuck take the disk away from him.
Heifernan led his men in the attack,
and he was ably assisted by Conway
and Mccarthy, the latter at times skat-
ing through the opposing team alone.
Hefernan Gagged one Of the goals, while
Conway registered the other on a pass
from Smith.
The Crescents shifted their lineup.
owing TO the absence of Klemner. His
place was taken by Bert White, who
played on the New York Athletic Club
team for many years. Ellis and Cox
were always in the thick OF the fight.
The task of caging the puck was, as a
rule, placed in the hands of Baker, but
he failed to receive the necessary sup
port.
After eight minutes of play Heffer-
nan caught the puck or a rebound from
Conway and drove it like rife shot
lnto the -. Nick net The cohorts OF
the Brooklyn club yelled themselves
hoarse. With the resumption of play
Baker led vigorous attack on the
Crescent goal, but IL failed.
Conway counted the second goal
after a pretty dash down the ice on a
pass from Smith. with only a few
minutes 70 play

Eddie McEntee and James Mcdonald

rounds, but the latter was disqualified

The spectators saw the downfall OF
boxers in quick succession. Tom
