COLUMBIA'S FORM
PLEASES ADMIRERS
Blue and White Eleven Dis
plays Improvement in 8 to z
Victory Over Amherst.
STEVENS SHOWS WE'LL
New York Aggies, With Four
Men Who Never Played Be-
fore, Surprise Rutgers.
STEVENS SHOWS WE'LL

Showing form better than hoped for
nv even its most optimistic supporters.
the Columbia eleven rose to a super
human effort Saturday and defeated Am
herst, Q to Z. The work of the Blue and
white eleven was far above that which
II displayed against williams-and the
team looked well even in that to 25
defeat by Williams.
Columbia convinced every one in the
stands that the selection of Fred Daw-
son and Tom Thorp for the coaching
staff was a happy decision for the Morn
ingside eleven. amherst is a team very
little less able than williams. and the
Blue and White had to travel at a rapid
gait to win.
The Columbia forwards were better
able to aid their backs than In any
previous game this season. Canapery,
Applebaum, Shaw and Quigley usually
found hole waiting for them when
they dived at the line. The defensive
work of the team. too, showed marked
progress over anything that has been
see in earlier games.
Canapery by his remarkable forty
seven yard drop kick showed that his
efforts in practice during the last two
weeks have not been wasted. The goal
will go down as one of the most re-
msrksble In Columbia's history.
N. Y. U. Awakens.
New York University redeemed itself
In the eyes Of its followers by winning
from Rensselaer,. 9 to o. The Violet
team showed a new and complex attack
which had the visiting eleven guessing
all the time. Much of the Heights
eleven's Improvement is attributed to
Gargen, the old Fordham coacn, who
has been helping Longwell during tho
last week.
The Violet showed new life, both on
the attack and on the defence. Capt.
Howard Cam Tailed the first point of
the season for the team when he booted
G field goal from the thirty-two yard
line, following a fair catch
The game showed much promise OF
better things for N. Y. u. IN the games
that come later in the season.
Stevens Ii Strong.
BY its 81 to victory over Rhode
Island in Hoboken Stevens showed that
Its claim to unusual strength is woli
founded. The Castle Point team had
hoped to win. that is about all: but
the Scarlet backs showed the same re-
lentless drive against the New Eng
anders that they have displayed in
stevens's two previous games.
Stevens used little strategy against the
visitors, but seemed all the while to be
saving itself for future games. The
safety scored by Rhode Island repre-
sents the only points that have been
made against the Jersey team this year.
AgEies Surprise Sanford.
The New York Aggies threw a sur
prise and a scare into the Rutgers camp
Saturday afternoon when they held Fos-
ter Sanfords eleven to IA. The Scar
let had only one touchdown until the
last three minutes of play, when NJ.
Redmond managed to sQuirm around a
substitute end for the second Raritan
tally.
The game was quite disappointing to
Coach Sanford, but Fred Robertson,
mentor of the Aggie eleven, was de-
lighted by the fight his team made.
Inc feat of the Aggies is more won
derful when It is known that four men
Who took the field against Rutgers never
had played a game of football before.
They were Denny. halfback; Moss.
tackle; Falckner. guard, and Ferguson,
centre.
This is the first season in intercol-
iesiate football for the Aggies, and their
record to date is a glowing tribute to
Fred Robertson. who has wrought mira
eles with the Farmingdale squad.
