down. The final count was william
Williams's successful forward pass
Ing attack was largely responsible fol
the victory. In the first half, five
overhead tosses were attempted, two Of
which were successful for a total gair
OF thirty-five yards. During the last
half. however, Mailon hurled one after
another until the total ran up tc
fifteen. OF these numerous forwards
nine were successful for gain Of 1ol
yards. Columbia was not as adept in
the overhead work, but while the
aerial game was used by the locals fol
the first three periods only one toss
was incompleted, two of the Others
being worth at least thirty yards
apiece.
AS far as first downs go, the teams
were fairly evenly matched, the vic.
tors making total of nine while the
locals registered one less. The Blue
and White gained four during the first
half and the same number during the
last half, while Williams made FIVE in
the hrst division Of the contest and
four In the next.
Mailon's Playing Features
Mallon. the Purple and Colds quar-.
terback, was easily the star of the con.
test. He was responsible for STEADY
gains, gong through the lire time and
again and circling the ends. His throw
Ing OF forward passes was excellent
he stepped back, looked about cairnly
and hurried the ball swift and true. He
was remarkable field general and dis
played much more football sense than
the locals quarter.
Tom Dickey, the right halfbacl OF
the visitors outfit, also made steady
gains and, with siallon, did virtually
all of the advancing of the pigskin for
Williams. Pease, the right end, was
always in the way of Columbia men
and was almost invariably at the re-
cetying end of Mallon's forward passes.
Roderick, the Columbia star, at
tempted several end runs, but was un-
able to do much on account of poor
interference. AS matter OF fact, the
locals tries around the wings gained
very little yardage, and Roderick was
thrown for losses on several occasions
Early in the fourth quarter he was put
out of the game for slugging, and the
ball was put into play on Cgumbias
1-yard line. Luckily Mallon, of Will
liams, fumbled, and Gehrig bunted out
Of danger or the score might have run
higher.
No scoring was done during the first
half, although the visitors got within
striking distance once during the first
period and again in the second. During
the second quarter the locals also had
chance to tally, but punts by the de-
tenders prevented any possible scoring.
During the first quarter Williams got
off punt to Columbia's 11-yard line,
but after couple of line plays the
pigskin was booted by Lou Gehrig TO
midfeld. Early in the next period
Percy Wendel's charges were on the
Ai-yard line and Malion, the visitors
quarterback, made q hopeless attempt
to score on dropkick.
Columbia Advance Halted
Toward the end Of the quarter Geh-
rig recovered Dickey's tumble on Will
liams' S3-yard line and Roderick threw
long pass to Blundell on the 15-yard
line. With q couple of line plays the
Blue and White was only eight yards
from score when Roderick lost nine
yards on an end run. Williams took
the ball on downs on the 1S-yard line
and punted out of danger.
After Gehrig's kickoff in the second
half. the victors advanced to the locals
twenty-six-yard line, where Columbia
took the ball on downs. Roderick shot
on tackle for long run to the Will
iams forty-fve-yard line, being tackled
