COLUMBIA VICTIM
OF ILLEGAL TACKLE
Referee Didn't See Banned
Princeton Player Trip
Runner in '9o Game.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

N YEW YORK, December 1870
that the record of spectacular
incidents in foot ball games, in
i which men not participating in
contests figured prominently,
be complete, let the story of Arthur
Poe and Lou Palmer Of Princeton be
told.
It will perhaps be recalled that in
the past season q University of WASH
ington substitute left his seat on the
bench and tackled the back of rival
team, who was running loose with the
ball on his way to a touchdown.
Delving into history at the time. the
writer recalled an analogous incident in
which Navy substitute, in 1918, ran
upon the field and tackled wild-run-
ming Great Lakes Naval Training Sta
ton back, who also was on his way to
touchdown. In both cases the inter-
rupted score was allowed. -
In the hurly burly of the recent sea
son a veteran foot ball enthusiast, Q Co
lumbia man, sent the writer the record
of still another incident of a similar
sort, making thus three in all.
It was in 1899 and Columbia was
playing Princeton at Manhattan Field
that great center of intercollegiate sport
in the golden COS, which now lies baT-.
rem and forlorn on the south side OF
the Polo Grounds here.
Stayed on Enemy's Side.
Lou Palmer, the famous Princeton
end companion wingnan to the still
more famous Arthur Poe, had been re-
moved from the game. Instead OF tax
ing his place on the Princeton bench
Palmer sat down upon the sideline on
the Columbia side of the field. Affairs
we're more loosely conducted In those
days and this was pern1issible-and still
may be today.
At any rate, Columbia punted at one
juncture. Charlie Neidlinger, uncle OF
Newell Neidlinger and Fudge Neidlin-
ger Yale and Dartmouth heroes, respec-
lively, In recent years, was Columbian
end. AS he came down the fleld Poe
attempted to check him. Neidlinger
stiff -armed the little Princetonian and
sent him flying. Palmer, out OF the
the field, at once leaped into the grid
iron and tripped Neidlinger, who went
to earth, permitting the Princeton punt
catcher to make long run.
Referee Didn't See II.
Foster Sanford, the Columbia coach,
always man of action, rushed out upon
the field, grabbing Palmer, holding him
him in the air, and demanded OF Paul
Dashiell, the referee, that the bali be
given to Columbia at the spot where
Princeton had received it. Dashiell
maintained he had not seen the tripping
and could impose no penalty. The
coach and oficial had 1t back and
forth, while Palmer, meantime, tightly
held in Sanford's big arms, was being
used for gesturing purposes.
After much urging Sanford released
Palmer, who scanpered to the Princeton
side of the field, mighty glad to be free.
The game went on and Princeton re-
ceived no penalty.
