  STANFORD DEFEATED 10 BY COLUMBIA POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Nov. %. U.P-Stanford came 5000 miles across the continent and lost a football game to Columbia today on one play-an 80 yard touchdown run by Geogre Furey, the Lions co-captain and quarterback, in the first 80 seconds of action on a frozen field. A crowd of $4,000 shivering spec tators sat through a wet snow storm to Sc one of the dizziest games of a dizzy football season. The Stanford team lived up to its advance notices as the “Goofy club” The far westerners were frozen in their tracks on the open ing kickoff as Furey, a 169-pond blocking quarterback, tucked the ball under his arm and paraded through the entire red-shirted team. Not a Stanford man laid a hand on him in his spectacular dash for the only score of the game. Arthur Waldo, Columbia guard, place-kicked the extra point to make the first and last reading of the scoreboard: Columbia 7, Stanford 0.
