lion, that scored a touchdown,
kicked goal and then dug in,
smeared Stanford, the Pacific
coasts pride, Z to 0, on a sloppy
field New Years day in the an
nual tournament of Roses Inter
sectional football game.
A heavy pre-game favorIte,
Stanford did most everything its
supporters predicted except to
score points. 1t made more yard
age and more first down, but 1t
also fumbled more than the New
York team that downed it.
Most costly fumbles for Stan
ford came in the third quarter
when Bob Hamilton muffed the
ball on the Columbia 13-yard line
when q score seemed imminent:
A few plays later, with Stanford
seemingly certain to score, Gray
son fumbled on the Columbia one
yard line, Brominski, a Columbia
man recovering.
The dismal weather held down
the crowd to 10000 people who
witnessed the thrilling contest.
This was the smallest crowd IN
years, although the game was the
most interesting, perhaps, since
1929 when Roy Reigels of Cali
fornia ran 65 yards in the wrong
direction to give Georgia Tech an
8 to 7 victory over his own team.
1t was only the third game in
tournament of Roses history to
be played on a wet field.
The first, in 1916, saw Wash
ington State defeat Brown, 4 to
0.
The second saw the small w.
& ]. eleven hold CanifOrnia'S
mighty wonder team play to a
to 0 tie in 1922. 1t rained 4 bit
as Washington State lost to Ala
bama, o to "a, in 1881, but that
merely was a shower as compared
to Mondays downpour.
Columbia's victory was only the
second ever won by an eastern
team in the intersectional COM
petition. The other eastern vic
tory was Harvard's 7 to 6 win
over Georgia in 1920. The vests
score with other teams now
stands 8 victories, 6 defeats and
three ties. Of these defeats, Ala
bama was responsible for two
Georgia Tech for one and NOtre
Dame for one. Harvard and CO.
lumbia were the sole eastern win
ners.
Yesterdays game was only sec
onds old when Stanford found a
chance to score. 1t got the ball
on its own 40-yard line. Grayson
made five and then broke off
right tackle to the Columbia "a
yard line. 1t looked as if Gray
son was away but in lodging
Montgomery. he skidded in the !
wet turf and was an easy victim
for Barabas.
Stanford was unable to advance
the ball beyond the 20 and was
forced to kick.
Columbia had an excellent
chance to score a few plays later
when Maentz fumbled and the
ball was recovered by Barabas on
the Stanford 80. Barabas then
broke off left tackle % yards to
Stanford's Is but nulified his
good work by fumbling on the
next play and the ball went to
Stanford on it's own IA.
Late in the quarter Montgom-
cry ran back a punt % yards to
the Stanford 81.
He ran to first down on the
10. He made nine on the next
play but fumbled when tackled
and the ball went to Stanford on
it's own 10 as the quarter ended,
0 to 0.
In the middle of the second
quarter Columbia got the ball on
the Stanford 46. A beautiful
pass. Montgomery to Natal, was
good for % yards, and a first
down on the Stanford vineyard
line. On the next play, Barabas
took a reverse from Montgomery
and fitted around left end Is
yards to the goal line. He was
not touched by a Stanford man.
He kicked goal and put Column
bia ahead, Z to 0.
Late in the second quarter
Stanford staged the best drive of
the game up to that time. 1t
carried the ball from its own 20
deep into Columbia territory.
Grayson was spearhead of the
drive. He pushed straight ahead
to his own 40-yard line and then
he broke away for 27 yards to
the Columbia 80. He looked for
a second as if he was away but
he was begged down by the mud
and was overtaken. The half
ended with Columbia leading z
to 0. t.
Stanford opened the third quar-
ter with a beautiful drive. From
his own 20-yard line, Grayson
ran % yards to a first down on
the IS. Alustiza made five to
midfield and Grayson ran five
and then 20 more to the 20-yard
line. Here a 15-yard penalty
stopped the 60-yard march.
Stanford came right back and
was threatening again when Ham,
ilton fumbled on the 13-yard line
and Columbia recovered. Column
bia kicked out and Stanford was
