New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-11-11

Not since the first game Columbia
played in 1915. at tho restoration OF
football. when she scored 81 points and
whitewashed ST. Lawrence. has any
such total been hesped up on South
Field.
Hobart was outplayed In every de-
partment of the game, and Columbia
showed marked improvement over her
performances Of the last two Satur-
days. The Hobart plays were ell
crudely obvious, her line consistently
played too high. her passes were al
most constantly fumbled. and her men
showed themselves too slow-witted to
take advantage of three or four real
opportunities for gains offered by CO.
lumbis.
Weinstein Shows Life
Weinsteip acting az Columbias
quarterback in Rosen's stead, kept his
men as lively as II the struggle had
been desperate. and make a noticeably
judicious use of all the forces at his
disposal. Only once did he show that
quarterback weakness Of trying to take
the ball himself when a touchdown
seemed certain; at all other times no
picked his men in a way that tho scor-
ing reflects.
OF the ten touchdowns Memmott was
responsible for three, Houlihan for
two. and Shaw for three. kindelberger,
on a blocked kick, accounted for an
other. Barnes picked up Hobart
tumble in the second quarter for ono
more, and Memmott's drop-kick in tho
fourth quarter rounded out the scoring
of the game.
Columbia won the kickoff. which was
made by Houlihan. In the first five
minutes of play Columbia. through a
series Of short gains by the bsckheld
trio, had made its first down, and
Houihan almost immediately went over
the line for touchdown Kennedy,
who did all the goal kicking Tor the
Morningside boys, added the seventh
point by close shave over the bar.
/ A few minutes more OF PLAY and
/ Canapary had the ball down By tho
/ goal-line for Columbia once more. Hero
| he made one of those fumbles that have
! been the downfall of his team In their
/ last two games, but luckily Parnes,
! substitute for Cochran, recovered tho
! ball or the 3-yard line before Hobart
! could reach IT, Hobart got the ball
on downs and tried 20 kick from be-
F hind the goal; the ball hit the posts,
/ Kindelberger pounced upon il, and Co
! lumbia mad made her second score.
Long Runs BY Shaw
J There was still some hope az this
stage that Hobart, whose men seemed
TO tower far above the Columbia play
ers Ia size, would get grip on them
/ selves, but this was quickly dispelled:
/ Shaw made a thrty-yard run around
right end for touchdown, and foi-
lowed il almost immediately by sew
enty-yard run.
From here on the outcome was ooY-
Gus, the spectators lost interest, and
Columbia commenced 70 ease up on her
regulars end sent in the second string
men for change.
The second quarter was the most
fruitful season for scoring. Memmott
went through a huge gap in the Ho..
bart line for the first six points, and
then, when Hobart seemed 10 be brse-
/ ing Up, Schott, the fullback, dropped
the ball directly into the hands OF
/ Parncs, who ran off for a second score.
Hobart, still showing some fighting
spirit, made its first down OF the game
al this time, but pumped forward
pass into Houlihan's arms for third
/ Columbia touchdown. Before the hale
was called, Memmott had crossed the
goal line twice more, once at the end
Of siYty-yard run, and once after a
series Of short plunges.
The chief criticism urged against
Weinstein's generalship was that h.
made no effort TO try out the forward
passes when he had such a compare
lively safe opportunity for practising
I this offensive move in which Column
| bia has shown herself so weak. Scot,
Of Hobart, was the backbone OF the up
state eleven. He did the punting,
called signals instead of the quarter
back, and made most O. the gains.
Dial Cochran, captain and end OF tho
Columbia team, nursed his injured foot
on the sidelines. Rosen, the regular
quarterback. has undergone two opera
tions for blood poisoning within the
last twenty-four hours at ST. Luke's
Hospital, and remains in critical
