Fred Dawson, the Columbia coach,
must have worked hard and effectively
with his men since the disastrous
Williams game. The line held far
more stubbornly, the men charged Low
and fast and the ends were down the
field under Thorntons well-pIscsi
high punts with fine speed to nail tbs
man with the ball
Captain Canapary's work was dis
tinctly good when he tore into the
Amherst line like veritable bstterius
ram. He ran low and with tremen-
dous impetus, so that opposing tack
lers found him hard man to stcp.

These delays came just when Colum.

and naturally slowed down the attack.
But Columbia won the game, which
was the main objective.
Besides Canapary and Quigley. the
work Of Thornton and Kennedy was
