  Dartmouth Lighter than Columbia. NEW YORK, Nov. S-In halves of twenty-hve and twenty minutes Columbia defeated Dartmouth to-day-22 to 0. Tire backs of the Columbia eleven broke throrsh the line and circled the ends at will. Dart mouth succeeded in making the necessary five yards twice only, and at time did they hold Columbia for downs. Proctors punting prevented Columbia from rolling up a much larger score and was the feature of DartmouthS play. Rogers and O’COnnor also did good work for Dartmouth. Weeks distinguished himself by making two long runs, resulting in touchdowns. One of these runs was for ninety yards. Bruce put up good game at gard AS compared with the Columbia eleven, that of Dartmouth was rather light. There were hardly more than 1,5O0 persons within the Enclosure, while the crowd on the viaduct and on “deadhead’ hill was smaller than usual.

  Columbia 90 Dartmouth O. New York. Nov 19.-Columbia played strong, hard foot ball yesterday and administered a crushing defeat to Dart mouth, the result of the game being 22–⁠0. The score would have been much larger had it not been for the magnificent punting of Dartmouth’s fullback, Proctor, and the clever playing Of Rogers and OConnor. Weeks, who played such a star game for Columbia against Yale, was again the hero of the day, making two touchdowns one of them from a 9O-yard run. Morley and Bruce also played strong games for Columbia.
