  ONE TOUCHDOWN FOR LOCAL COLLEGIANS Most of Blue and White Threats Are Not Sus- tanned. RODERICK’S FIELD GOAL Clinchcs Victory After Methodists Score With Aid Of Costly Penalty. by SAMUEL j. RROOFMAN. Still crude in concerted action and in so essential fundamental as tackling, but flashing latent power that augurs Columbia’s ponderous eleven defeated n comparatively light bat courageous Wesleyan team by a score of 10 to 6 at South Field yesterday 1t was the third straight victory of the season for the Blue and White, but unlike the other two a hard earned victory over a squad than shone almost as gloriously in defeat as the victors did in triumph Up to a minute or so before the tussle ended, Columbia’s margin was a single point-no more. A tumble, a fortunate dash. any sort of break might have turned the tide toward the Tigers of New England” as the Methodists are being called this season. Columbia had gained more ground, had threatened more often, had outplayed Wesleyan by clear if nv wv bSNioiNC pul Tic ldCl remained that the Blue and Whites lead was frail. that it could be over , come by a single play. Little wonder then that the faces of the 10000 Columbia rooters showed sub dued anxiety as the contest neared its close. Little wonder that hearts beat like trip hammers whenever a scramble ensued for a fumbled ball or for for ward pass in which Wesleyan had everything to gain and nothing to lose There were trying moments for the Co. lumbia supporters in that final half Wesleyan had marched with the aid OF penalties siXty-five yards for touch down in the third period, and what Wesleyan had accomplished once Wesleyan might readily repeat. Who could tell? Anxious Moments. The Columbians had not scored since the opening period. True, they had been dangerous all the way, but they never had been able to carry out their threat. The Blue and White had just made an other sixty yard squirt, but had failed within the shadows of the Wesleyan goal posts. Nothing daunted. the Blue and White had advanced again to within twenty yards OF score, but here again Wesleyan’s defense had stiffened Scarcely more than a minute or two remained. and then Columbia threatened with the loss of the ball called for a kick from placement. 1t went through perfectly. Rodericll booting the oval clear over the cross bar from the 30 ward line A wild shout from the CO. lumbia cohorts, who had waited long time for their anxiety to be relieved Another kickoff. three or four plays and the game was over. Wesleyan’s march 10 touchdown shortly after the opening of the second half was as unexpected as II was brill liant The lighter line had been COM pletely outplayed in the first two periods. Koppisch and Roderick had darted past tackles and around end for substantial gains and Gehrig had ploughed through the line every now and then for an aver age OF five yards at a try as the Blue and White advanced TO its first touch down. The steam roller had moved into action again in the second quarter and after another prolonged assault had rolled the enemy back TO Its 4 yard line. Another touchdown had seemed imminent But this time the pluclSy Methodists had fought like fury with their backs almost against their goal posts and had taken the ball on downs by a matter of inches only. Once out of dan ger. Wesleyan had held the swift Co Iumbia backs in check. but they had been fighting a more or less defensive fight, and not once had the visitors come any nearer than forty-five yards OF Columbias goal. But IL was vastly different In the second half in which the Mcthodists scored as many first downs as the Co lumbians. Finding unexpected holes in the Columbia line and profiting by their opponents uncertain tackling, the Wesleyan eleven took the aggressive and carried the ball all the way from their own 35 yard line to a touchdown. A severe penalty hurt the Columbians considerably In the last stages of che adj vance. Robson. Adams and Frlcke had done some great work in finding OPEN ings and In eluding tacklers, but the Blue and White team was beginning TO fathom the attack Costly Penalty. Sixteen yards from che Columbia line three tries at the Blue and White for wards failed TO gain more than two yards. Meyer at right guard seemed 10 be pretty we’ll spent and Coach O’Neill sent Hinch I’m to relieve him in the Columbia line at that point. But Hlnch came running In TO the scrimmage after the whistle had blown for the play and fifteen yard penalty that ensued brought the ball within single stride OF the Columbia goal. II was vexing turn of affair for tho Columbia rooters and they sat silent as Wesleyan on the next rush carried the ball over. A minute later however. the Blue and White stands broke into triumphant cheers again as Fricke failed TO gain the point after touchdown. His attempt at q drop kick was bIoled end tho oval never rose more than seven feet off the ground. Columbia was still in the lead. after all, and there was no Confined on Pare Three.
