LOCAL TEAM SURPRISES

Columbia's football stock scared high
yesterday afternoon when the Blue and
White eleven defeated the strong YER
mont team by the narrowest OF margins
In the last minute Of play. Over 5000
spectators crowded into South Field to
watch the contest. Both the old south
stand and the newly constructed north
stand were filled to capacity.
The Vermont Toys put up wonderful
fight and on many occasions had Column
bia struggling tooth and nail to hold for
downs and avoid a score. The feat OF
the Green eleven In holding Syracuse
scoreless for three periods last Saturday
did not serve to encourage Columbia adj
herents, and great was the rejoicing
when Quigley received pass from Ca
napary on Verniont's IS yard line, where
he eluded two Green tacklers and placed
the pigskin behind the visitors goal
posts. Kennedy kicked the goal.
Columbia's Line Strong.
Tho Columbia line, which was freely
predicted to be the weak point in the
Blue and White lineup, was not as bad
as report had made It 1t showed in
creased strength. due to the constant
coaching by Fred Dawson. In the first
period the powerful Vermont attack
found several holes in the right side Of
the line, but In the second and fourth
quarters the defence found itself and
permitted only one first down. The at
tacke of both teams was good. with the
advantage being with Vermont In mid
| field. Whenever the goal posts doomed
near. however. the Green eleven seemed
to lose confidence and, as result, did
| no scoring. On straight line rushing
Vermont made nine first downs, while
Columbia was credited with seven.
Vermont Wins Toss.
Vernon won the toss and elected

ball on Columbia's twenty yard line

was downed. He raced through right
tackle for first down on the next
play. A forward pass failed and Quig-

, Thornton punted to Vermont's thirty
Ave yard line Vermont came back with
a rush and. with Brock tearing through
the Columbia defence, the Green made
three first downs and the quarter ended
with the ball on Columbia's twenty-five
yard line.

through the line for first down and

and forced to leave the game. Apple
