SCORE IN FIRST HALF
Houlahan and Shaw Make
TOuchdOwns and Then
Losers Brace.

Columbia defeated New York Univer-
sity, IL to 0, in their annual gridiron
Duel on South Field yesterday and wiped
out the sting of two defeats. The Blue
mad White triumph evened up the score
between the two Institutions. Each now
has won two games since football was
put back on the map at Columbia In
4 1915.
A~big Columbia drive in the opening
period. in which in ten hard smashes the
Blue and White travelled seventy yards.
wound up with Houlahan's going over
the top for touchdown. A thirty
seven yard broken field run by Shaw was
seponsible for Columbla's other touch
down. Charley tore off the dazzling
dash In the second period. There was
no scoring in the last two quarters.
Though defeated the green and light
~. Y. U. eleven was far from disgraced.
The stand N. Y. U. put up in the final
quarter, when with the great Robb back
in the Columbia lineup. the Blue and
White twice drove the Violet back to the
10 yard line, only to be held for downs,
amply showed the stuff the N. Y. U. boys
are made of.
Robb was not injected into the lineup
till the second half, Collins starting the
game in Robb's place at quarterback,
and Canaperry playing left halfback,
Collinss usual position. Canaperry
played corklng game and may sup
plant Collins or Shaw in the backfield
for the Syracuse game.
Substitute Ends Surprise.
Grace and Rubinstein, substitute ends,
guarded the TANKS for the Blue and
White and rendered a good account of
themselves. The playing Of Tower,
Modarelli and zyctlinsk, who before
the game was over relieved Robson,
K-aus and Parks on the line, shows
that Columbia s2lendidly is fortified in
reserve strength
Throughout the contest Columbia
kept the play chiefly in n. Y. L. terri
tory, and in the second and third pc
RODS 1t looked as II the Blue and White
purposely was taking things easy. When
the Blue and White cut loose in earnest
again in the final quarter, however, the
Violet defence stiffened commercially
-and kept Columbia from scoring
The tide of battle ebbed and flowed
near midfield In the first few minutes
of the game. Columbia got its oppor-
tunity to strike when X Bloomgarden,
on Kick formation play, fumbled the
oall, which was captured by Canaperry
on Columbia's forty yard line. The Blue
and White then started a big offensive
With Houlahan headipg the attack
and Canaperry and Collins giving him
able assistance, Columbia marched
seventy yards straight down the field in
ten PUSHES The final snnl sh was a four
yard plunge for a touchdown by Houla-
han. Grace's attempt TO kick goal was
ia failure.
Shaw's Long Dash.
After some midfleld play In the sec
ond period Canaperry went around left

to ". Y. US thirty-seven yard line. On
the next play Shaw broke loose and in
a lodging twisting run raced thirty
seven yards across the goal line for an
other touchdown. Canaperry's attempt
at goal went wide OF the posts.
Capt. Robb entered the melee in the
third quarter. but n. Y. u. kept HIM
well covered and the great bacHfield
man was unable to tear Off many big
gains. Robb did not cut loose with his
usual dash and determination. The
period ended with no further scoring.
The final quarter saw Robb give the
word and set the Columbia machine at
top speed again. The Blue and White
twice carved its way down to the Vio-
let's 10 yard line, but each time the
". Y. u. defense turned into a stone
wall and hurled back the attacking
waves. The heroic defense put up by the
Violet had even the Blue and White
rcoters applauding It.
Columbias final hurl back occurred
on the yard line. With first down
at that point the Blue and White backs
in vain tried to penetrate the Violet
defense. The lineups:
