r,tber with fretionless speed and
bower. Long before the final whistle
sounded the end Of the game Column
M, had learned 70 dread the combi-
nation Of Deetjen and Harmon and
Webb.
A noteworthy feature about the
WESLEYAN eleven was its concerted
vsr, work. with every man helping in
"A. drives down the field. The backs
lad the advantage OF almost impene-
,nble interference. and the man car
wing the ball had full opportunity 20
70, under Roadway before a single Co
unbis PLAYER could even make dive
70 head him OF. Add 20 this general
efficiency an all-pevading spirit OF
scgressiveness and an instant readl-
ness 70 take advantage OF every open
ng, and some idea OF Wesleyan's pow
sr.ul team can be gained.
What OF Columbia? Those who re-
member the Blue and Whites unde-
iested team Of last year, the team that
defeated Wesleyan by q score OF 10
to 0, would never have recognized the
uncertain, laundering aggregation that
represented the local institution yes
trdsy.
Three Men Stand Out
Monroe, the Blue and White right
halfbAck; Dunn, the right half, and
Captain JEFF Healey at left tackle, were
the only players who in any way meas
sred up 20 the standard OF the Wes-
lsyan men, and, at that, the gulf be-
tween was wide and striking.
After dismally failing on great ma
iority OF the forward passes they tired,
the local colleglans suddenly came 10
life in the last few minutes OF play,
and, using an aerial attack, took
the ball from their territory 20
within striking distance Of the Wes-
lsyan goal posts 10 was the single
instance where the team showed con-
esrted power. but it came TOO late. The
Wesleyan defence stifened and soon
lfterward the game ended.
Wesleyan kicked of at the start, and
an exchange of punts followed. The
ball was finally taken 70 Columbia
25-ysrd line by rushing. Deetien then
shot his way around left end, eluding
taeklers right and left, and scored a
touchdown. Johnson failed at goal,
and the score was 10 0. No more
scoring vas done in the first period
Chance for Columbia
Wesleyan kicked of again and Dunn
returned the compliment, booting the
leather for forty-five yards. webb
tumbled the ball, and Kennedy, diving
through, recovered and advanced 10
W.sleyan's S0-yard line before being
brought down But the visitors line
vas a wall Of stone, and Columbia lost
the ball on downs.
Wesleyan started a march down the
field, Harmon. Deetjen and Webb bat
iering aside an opposition, until the
ball rested on Columbia's l-yard line.
Here the desperate Blue and White line
held once for downs. but on the next
play Harmon crashed his way over the
line and Webb kicked the goal. Score,
Wesleyan, rs; Columbia, 0.
Deetien got away for thirty-tour-
yard run Just after the next kck-oh'
but the FIRST half ended without further
scoring
The second half had no sooner be
Gun than Wesleyan started her batter
ing tactics again, and straight rushing
carried the ball 20 Columbia's 35--yard
line. Deetien added ten more by a
elreling run around left end, and on
The next play the Wesleyan captain
dropped back for q try at field goal.
The pass was poor, and Deetien had 70
Nseh far above his head 10 catch the
hall The Columbia forwards were al
ready breaking through 20 block the
hek, bot the pigSkin sailed safely oyer
and Wesleyan led by 10 points 20 y.
Columbia rallied toward the close OF
the gSre and gained considerable
ground, but was unable 70 score.
