"oo puftV ana captain Walter Kop
pisch did practically all the scoring
Tor the locals, the former registering
/ three tallies and the latter two, while
Ben Roderick kicked a field goal and
made several points after touchdowns
quarterback Burtt made the largest
number of touchdowns
| A week ago the Lion atte,npted
placement kicks after every touchdown.
! but yesterday Ben Roderick attempted
| one end run which did not result in a
score After the final touchdown the
blond-haired Blue and White fullback
was gong to try another placement,
but Stuart Blundell made such poor
| pass that Koppisch was unable to "tee
1T up Roderick, who is always wide
| awake, scoopcd up the pigskin and
dashed around Amherst's left end for
the extra point.
Columbia Often Penalized
: Columbia lost great deal of yard
age OF penalties. Time and again the
local were set back, frequently fifteen
! yards at q time, and once when in the
shadow OF the visitors goal posts,
which precluded their chance Of scor-
ing, as the whistle blew shortly after.
After Burtt had scored twice and
! Roderick had kicked field goal in the
first period Amherst began to show
1 some real fight and ripped off four first
! downs in rapid-ire order, approach
! ing the Blue and Whites goal with an
attack so sustained that Lion support
| ers began to get nervous and think
! that Amherst was more than had been
/ bargained for. However, the whistle
! blew shortly after. But when play
was resumed the light warriors from
| Massachusetts succeeded in crossing
| the final strip OF whitewash, Jillson
making the touchdown, The attempt
to gain the extra point was fztle,
| HilPs kick being short and low.
! Clapp, who played at right tackle for
the visitors and who gained a place on
I! the Little Three" eleven last season,
! starred on the line for the Purple,
while Hill, freshman last year,
| showed up we'll throughout the contest
in the backfield.
| Fischer Stars for Amherst
On the line Eddie Fischer did fine
work ct tackle, while Jimmy Myer
! showed up we'll when the Blue and
! White started to attack via the forward
| pass.

then funbled. However. Burt speed
! lily recovered and went through for the
first score. Roderick kicked goal from
placement
With Amherst in possession of the
ball on the thirty-fve-yard line, the
aerial attack was brought into play.

making the count IA to 0. Roderick
added another three points toward the
end of the quarter by kicking q field
goal from placement from the twenty

Early in the next period Amherst
made its lone six points while the
locals failed to tally.

i Roderick around left end and several
! other substantial gains, Koppsch went
+ through tackle on the fve-yard line for
touchdown and Roderick failed to add
/ the extra point.
| Burt made another touchdown be-
! fore the quarter ended, taking the ball
! through center for eight yards. Rod
