Tally at South Field.

Columbia defeated the, hitherto I'M
beaten Amherst eleven on South Field
yesterday afternoon in a hercely con-
tested game, the outcome of which hung
in the balance until the last moment Of
play. With the count to Z in favor
Of Columbia, Amherst unleashed
whirlwind attack that came within an
ace of reversing the final score AID

White supporters. links attempted drop

thirty seconds to play and Amhersts
winning streak was broken.

occasions carried the ball with half the

The Amherst boys played in streaks
and seemed incapable Of prolonged at

game with a rush and before ten plays
had been completed had scored a touch
down. The Amherst attack showed to

downs were accounted for. as compared

Columbia Improves.
On the other hand Columbia improved
hs the game progressed. Only one first
down was obtained on rushing in this
period. but In the second quarter the
Blue and White attack accounted for
three and this number was increased to
FIVE in the third period. With the game
apparently won. the local boys relaxed
in their efforts and this nearly spelled
their ruin, for Amherst again started
to play and came within an ace of win

Canapary, the Blue and White captain.
was the individual star of the game. He
was directly responsible for all of the
Coiumbias scores. 1t was his educated
right toe that drew first blood from Am
berst and his right arm that hurled
lightning forward pass to Thornton
which resulted in Columbia's only touch
down. ;F.t
Al the beginning of the second period
Columbia held the ball on Amhersts
10 yard line Line plunges failed and
the spectators were surprised to see
Canapary drop back to kick. Even then
X was expected that he merely meant to
punt. and scarcely one thought that
he would dare attempt field goal from
the a yard line. Kienningerss pass was
true and paying no attention to the
Purple forwards, who, seeming his pur-
q pose. strove to get through the Column
bia line. Canapsry sent the ball on a
long, low journey straight between the
nprights for one of the best drop kicks
tven seen on South Field.
Even Howard Miller's wonderful forty
i've yard boot, which defeated N. Y. U.
IN 1916. was eclipsed by the performance
Of the present Columbia captain.
Amherst First to Score.
Amherst made the initial score OF the
game early in the first quarter. After
Dawson had received Appellants kick
or an exchange of punts followed on
which the Purple gained thirty yards
when the ball was allowed to roll out of
bounds on Columbia's % yard line. Shaw
returned the ball to midheld and the
Massachusetts boys started an attack
that resulted in their first and only score.
Gard and link made II a first down on
Inc DUCKS. oH tne next play Lara, tnc
New Engianders' left halfback, broke
nway around Columbia's left end and
started on a dash for the Blue and
White goal posts He skilfully eluded
sill the Columbia tacklers and only Shaw
got in his way. The Columbia halfback
prepared to tackle, but as Card swerved
TO pass on his opponents right Shaw
slipped on the wet turf and Card easily
placed the ball behind the Columbia goal

tors in the lead. Z to o.
Columbia came back with a rush In
the next period. and after Canapary had
scored with his wonderful field goal the
Blue and White attack got going in
earnest Appelbaum kicked of to link
IN Amherst's 80 yard line. The Co.
lumbia line held and link was forced to
kick. Canapary and Appelbaum tore
through the line for a first down and
Canapary hurled a snappy forward pass
TO Weinstein, which resulted In further
gain of eleven yards. Appelbaum found
big hole in the Amherst defence and
dashed through for twelve yards, placing
the leather on the Puppies 10 yard line
The aerial attack was again resorted &c
and Thornton received Canapary's pas,
on Amherst's yard line. The weight
OF numbers counted and Thornton was
