After getting into Wesleyan terri

period the locals continued to gain
until the Wesleyan 37-yard line was
reached, where ;Fricke intercepted a
pass. The Cardinal and Black advanced
to its 44-yard line, when Newhall fun

made eight. Columbia made four in
the first period, when she made her
only touchdown; three in the second
period, two in the third and six in the
final quarter.
The locals six in the final quarter
were not as useful as the visitors four
in the third period, when the touch
down was scored. Why Buck Q,Neill's
charges failed to tally six points dur

Wesleyan was expected to use her
forward passing game to good advan-
tage but only two of the eight over
head throws were successful, four of
the others being intercepted while two
were incomplete. The pair Of success

son was responsible for the greatest
amount of gained yardage on the part
OF Wesleyan. King, the left end,
showed up we'll and made some tine /

For Columbia Ben Roderick and
Walter Koppisch did the best work
behind the rush line, with Lou Gehrig
plaudits of a crowd estimated at 5000.
J Eddie Fischer, captain Of last years
freshman team and all-Buffalo tackle
at Masten Park High School, was the
outstanding star on the line, his big
form always being in the way OF
