Before the largest crowd of the season
at South Field yesterday Columbia and
Union met In their annual gridiron duel
and for the brieftest moment 1t looked as
II the Garnet might give the Blue and
White a real battle. After the opening
kickoff Union surprised by holding Co.

White drove sixty-eight yards in nine
teen rushes for touchdown. Columbia
went twenty EIGHT yards in ten rushes
for another score In the second and in
the third took five PUSHES to advance
twenty yards for six more points. Union
could offer little resistance in the fourth
and Columbia bagged two more touch
downs, covering seventy-flve yards in
seven PUSHES for the first and sixty
yards In six rushes 70. the second
Union was 80 much at the mercy OF
Columbia in the final period that after
the nth touchdown Fred Dawson called
all of his regulars with the exception Of
Robb TO the sidelines and sent in a
string OF substitutes In the short time
they were on the firing line the substi-
tutes kept tho bail we'll down within
Union territory. Offside play and holding,
