New York University and Columbia
closed their season on Saturday, when
the Violet downed the Blue and Nnite
by score Of 10 0. after real battle
Vastly different stories arc written IN
the football histories OF the season at
these colleges r
New York University enjoyed one OF
its most successful years on the grla-
iron. The student body at University
Heights Is proud Of the team, and
proud Of Dick Eustis, who coached the
eleven. Columbia started the season
with a defeat at the hands Of Hsmll-
ton. then rallied and defeated Vermont.
The rest OF the season was q dreary
waste of defeats. or, at the best, score
less ties.
Three Defeats for n. Y. q.
The Violet eleven played consistently
and we'll through a schedule which
tested the team in every gsms. Start
ing we'll against the Rensselaer, Poly
technic team, New York played tie
game with Hsverford at Z 70 2. De-
feat was the portion Of the Violet
against Wesleyan, but the wounds sui
fered in those games were closed by
victories over Union and Bucknel.
Colby, the champions OF Maine, won
from the local eleven by field goal,
and Maryland State also was TOO
strong. Columbia, however, was de-
feated, and the students reJoiced. New
York scored 6S points to 81 for the
opposition.
The misfortunes Of Columbia have
been reviewed so often that 1t is not
necessary 70 20 into detail now. Suf-
fcient 10 say that only IL points were
scored throughout the season, while the
opposition scored 81 points in eight
games The squad at Columbia will not
be greatly reduced through graduation
or through the students exercising pro-
fessional options. Six players who were
recognized as regulars will pass on.
They are Captain Healy, Jimmy Cleve-
land, Bud WILDER, Hank Monroe, Dom
aldson and Rosen.
When Rutgers and Washington and
Jefferson come to grips on the Polo
Grounds on Thursday a battle rich IN
promise will be waged. The Pennsyl-
vania college has won seven out OF nine
games, losing TO Yale and pittsburgh
Rutgers has won over Nillanova, Holy
Cross and Dickinson, but has been de-
feated by Brown and held 70 drawn
battles by Washington and Lee and
West Virginia University. Sol Metzger,
coach Of the Washington team, and SAN
ford, coach Of Rutgers, are expopents
of the new game, and open play should
be seen in its most advanced stages.

There will be the usual number OF
schoolboy games on Thursday and they
will hold their share Of interest. The
big game of the year, in the Borough
of Manhattan, at any rate, will be
plsyed on the Polo Grounds on Sstur-
day. On that day De Witt Clinton and
the High School Of Commerce will
meet. and A rare battle is in prospect
No matter how poorly one team or the
other may have done all season, 1T is
sure 70 play it's best in this game.
Clinton won last year, and would
seem to have the stronger team now.
IL is one Of the Commerce traditions,
however, that no Clinton team ever won
two years in succession.
Pennsylvania is preparing for Cor
nell on Thursday. Defeats suffered in
three successive years will have TO be
wiped out. The last time that Cornell
dipped its pennant TO the Red and
Blue was in 1912, but in the three fol-
lowing years il waved above the goal
posts while the Ithaca undergradu-
Ates danced their mad snake dance
over Franklin Field.
AT Pennsylvania the feeling is gen
cral that this is Penn's year. IL may

The games played against Penn
State, Dartmouth and Michigan were
