Columbia University Is in training for
military football season. There Will he
series of interstudent army training
corps games to replace the old collie
giate competitions on the gridiron. All
week the student soldiers who are trying
out have been drilling on South Field
under the supervision of Coach Dawson
and Trainer Gus Peterson. The present
football plans call for three teams. which
later will be merged into a star eleven.
When the nnsl selection has been made
the Columbia team will meet the eievens
Of New York University, Union, Stevens
and Amherst.
Only a few OF the old Columbia grid
iron stars have returned to try out for
the new team. Angus McCabe, quarter

DRY AMENDMENT VIRTUALLY DEAD

Prohibitionists Lack Two Votes on Test of Strength in Which All Power

Albany. N Y., march 20-Defeat CT the ratification by the New York leg islature of the prohibitory amendment to the federal constitution was virtu- any accomplished tonight when the dry forces in the senate, on test vote, in which all their power was dis played, lacked a majority. The vote was 24 for the ratification clause ana 25 opposed. Twentysix votes were necessary for success.
 The vote was not on the ratification proposal. but on parliamentary move that was essential to the success or the dry cause. Soon after the senate convened this afternoon, the committee on taxation and retrenchment reported the Hill resolution so amended as to conform in every detail to the Mac Hold referendum bill that was sub stituted in the assembly last week Tor the original resolution and on which action was indefinitely postponed by an overwhelming vote in the lower house yesterday
 In order to bring the question or ratification squarely before the sen ate It was necessary to suspend the rules in order to discharge the com mittee of the whole from consideration of the amended resolution and to re- commit it to the taxation committee with instructions to report the reso- 1ution forthwith in it's original form. It was on the motion to suspend the rules that the test vote was taken to- night after nearly five hours of de- bate and manuevering for strategic parliamentary advantage.
