Yards for Second Score
Kicks Well.

Shrouded In the gloom of a 25 to o
defeat at the hands OF Williams on
South Field yesterday afternoon. Column
bias indomitable football spirit--a spirit
that can yell Just as vociferously for a
good loser as 1t can for a good winner
finds consolation to-day in the fact that
the Blue and White eleven fought yes
terday and fought hard. In game in
which all OF the breaks went to the
Purple. the Blue and White warriors
lived up to every advance notice.
The game afforded ample proof that
Columbia has not been missed by the
enthusiasm that has permeated every
nook and corner of the intercollegiate
football world this fall, and that the
gridiron game has returned to stay at
Morningslde Heights. A crowd of 1000
persons-the largest gathering that ever
assembled at South Field-witnessed the
contest Even in the old days of big
games at the Polo Grounds 1t was sell
dom that a crowd greater than this wit
messed a Columbia game.
AS far as playing went, Williams held
its anticipated edge, with the exception
Of few minutes early in the game when
Columbia displayed frantic burst of
speed. Quigley ran Williams punt
back twenty yards to midfeld, after
which Shaw made a spectacular dash
around left end for nineteen yards.
Quigley then ripped through the middle
OF the williams line for eleven yards
more. but on the next play the Blue and
White 1umbled and Williams recovered
on its own 81 yard line. Thus ended the
only chance that Columbia had to score
until late in the final period
A long end run by Hibbard brought
the ball into Columbias territory, and
persistent attack through and around
the Blue and White line brought the
ball right up to the goal. Krieger
dashed over for the first touchdown, but
Boynton missed goal. The second
Period was scoreless. but williams had
an edge with Columbia fighting hard
for every inch.
BOynton Makes Dash.
Eoynton contributed the most sensa-
tional bit OF work of the game when
he raced eighty yards through the en-
tire Columbia team for a touchdown on
the kick of of the third period. The
Williams captains snake-like dash
brought insane delight to occupants of
the Purple stands.
After a penalty OF fifteen yards for
unnecessary roughness had been in
fiicted on Columbia, giving the ball to
Williams on the Blue and White thirty
yard line in the final period, the Purple
attack was stalled momentarily. and
Boynton threw n beautiful forward pass
to Codding. who had raced completely
through and around the Columbia team
and who was standing where the left
end normally would have been.
COddinP mada beautiful catch NJ
the ball, taking 1t while running at full
speed. 1t was easy work for him TO
step across the\ two yards separating
him from the Columbia goal. Boyn-
to-. again missed the goal.
The las. sccre for the visitors came
shortly afterward when Beckett recov.
cred Columbia tumble on the Blue and
White Is yard line and ran across for
touchdown. Lasell kicked the goal
making Williamss total rs points.
Columbia Rallies.
After the last Williams tally Columbia
made two determined ruahes into Will
Jams territory, and at the final whistle
held the ball on the purple 80 yard
line. In the two rallies Quigley con.
tributed the most sensational play wheT
he dashed 20 yards around end to the
Williams % yard mark.
Both teams tried the forward pass
frequently, but with only Indifferent
success. Columbia completed one pas.
| on Williams's yard line and was il
excellent position to score, but the bal
VAS called back because Canapary had
not been 8 yards behind the scrimmagt
line when he hurled the pass.
Although Boynton had a slight edge
on Shaw in punting the Columbia star
held his own remarkably we'll and otter
would register a gain on an exchange
Both kickers usually obtained good dis
lance and showed uncanny ability ir
placing their drives.
A surprising incident was the failure
Of the Williams stands to rise while the
Columbia anthem was played-this from
college that long has been known IA
vorably throughout the East for the ex,
| eellent quality of its sportsmanship.
Mob Runs wild.
