New York EleveM’s Limo Simply Moxv.ds Away-Corncll Also Suffers a Crushing Defeat by Pennsylvania-Unive of Chicago Defeats Brown ana Wis consin Lowers MichigRn’s CoIors. New York, Nov. 30.-The football eleven Of Columbia was beaten by the Carlisle Indians at Manhattan Field to- day by the score of As to 0. There was probably 10000 people within the en- | closure, and fully as many more on the viaduct. This was by long odds the severest beating Columbia has received this season. Columbia’s team lined up exactly as on the day 1t defeated Yale. The Indians were in prime ply sical condition and tore through Colurfl- bias line and skirted the ends at will. At least eight times the Carlisle backs got around the ends for runs Of from thirty to fifty yards. Most of these runs were made by Seneca and Miller Weeks stopped most of them by beauti- ful tackles, but on two occasions he was dragged over the line by main strength. On most every kick the Carr Isle backs ran the ball back about twenty yards, and twice the catcher got back sixty yards. Metoxen plugged through the line frequently for ten yards gains Columbia held the In dians for downs but three or four times during the game Wheeler kicked off for the Indians. On the first lineup Columbia tried long pass to Slocovitch to trick Rogers. This failed dismally. Then Columbia tried double pass and just made the distance. Carlisle forced Columbia to punt and the ball was the Indians in the center of the field. One the Sec ond lineup Seneca got through Smythe for thirty yards. Hudson then failed in try for goal from the field. Mos ley kicked out from the 25-yard line. The Indians made short gains through the line on the next four downs, and then Seneca got through for beautifull run Of thirty yards and dropped by Weeks on Columbia’s 10-yard line. Car Isle failed on two attempts at Smythe, but Hudson dropped goal from the field. Score: Indians 5, Columbia 0. On an exchange Of kicks after the kick off Columbia got the ball on Car lisle’s 45-yard line. On double pass Morley got around Scholder for thirty yard run. This brought the ball to Carlisle’s 15-yard line and was the only time during the game in which Car isles goal was in danger. Morley fumbled, however, the ball going to the In dians. Immediately Seneca got in another run Of forty yards and was stopped by Weeks. Smythe got the ball on a tumble. Columbia could nor & gain, and had to kick. Again Seneca got around the end for a run of fifty five yards, and a touchdown Wheelock kicked the goal. Score: Carlisle II, Columbia O. After this the ball zigzagged up and down the field, affording Wilson a chanse for field goal, which he miss ed Metoxen carried the ball down the field for the next touchdown Within q minute Of the end Of the half Miller scored a touchdown. Both goals were kicked, making the score for the half, Carlisle 20, Columbia o. Both teams ined up for the second half unchang- I’d.
