Yale, 0. and Columbia, o; Prince ton, 5, are achievement of which Columbia has Justly been proud. And now under meath these two victories VIII De painted the score of another: Columbia, II; Penn sylvania, o. This latest triumph was the result OF a magnificent display OF football skill by Columbia’s eleven at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon, and with “ came a demonstration by 1000” followers of the Blue and White which beggais description. In three years, starting win absolutely no foundation upon which 10 build a team. Columbia by dint OF nara work and the careful instruction oil head coach George Foster Sanford has sue ceeded In lowering the colors OF three mem bers Of the historic Big -Four With Yale Princeton and Pennsylvania disposed oil, Il remains for Columbia TO take Harvard into camp to make the sweep “A clean one Though II will be admitted by almost any football expert who saw yesterdays game thai the Pennsylvania eleven is the weakest that has represented the Red and Blue IN many years. one cannot detract from the credit due the local Varsity for as clean and as well played a game of football as mas ever been seen on an intercollegiate grid iron. - II was in Columbia’s victory over Yale two years ago that Harold Neekcs, then a freshman, electrified the football world with q magnificent run down the field which ended in a touch down and a victory over the New Havenites. 1t was in the game with Princeton last year that Weekcs again distinguished himself. but in yesterdays contest with the Quakers this superb nthlete excelled all previous efforts and when the battle ended as the shadows of night came on he was carried away upo the top of a human tidal wave that rushed out OF the grounds rejoicing at the victory II was a great run of s~eyenty-fvc yards by Weekes in the first half that yielded Columbia’s first touchdown and not long afterward it was a dash Of fifteen yards by the same player which increased Co lumbia’s score TO eleven points, and in the second half il was by virtue Of two great tackles by Weekes that Reynolds and Gardinor were cut short in runs that otherwise would have yielded touch downs. So il was that Weekcs was a giant for Co hmbia in that he led in point Of attack and was a power in effective defence. These were the brilliant plays Of the game, but they were not the only ones made by - 800 I’ll l..I r..

  Columbia II, U. of Penn. New York Nov. 2.-Between 5000 and 5000 people saw the Columbia football team shut out the team of the University of Pennsylvania at the Polo Grounds today In the first half Co lumbia scored two touchdowns, from one of which a goal was kicked, while Pennsylvania failed to get near their opponents goal line In the second half the University of Pennsylvania men played much stronger game, and for the greater part of the latter half kept the ball in Columbia’s territory. They finally weakened, however, and while they kept the wearers Of the blue and white from scoring, the ball was in Pennsylvania territory when time was called, the final score reading: Column bia II, Pennsylvania 0. This is a brief history of the game, and it nearly tells the entire story. The visitors were the lighter team, but just what might have happened had the full strength of the Columbia team been available, there is no telling. Kingdom, Columbia’s giant tackle. who was injured in the game against Yale, and Bruce, who became victim of the earnest players of Haverford College were much missed, whilst parental in reference prevented Jackson from APP pearing in his usual position at left end Pennsylvania “rooters,” spurred or by the strains of their student band made the welkin ring with encouraging shouts to the wearers of the red and blue, but their efforts were all to nc purpose. In the first half, Weekes, with his usual aggressiveness, got around the end and planted the ball behind the Pennsylvania goal line. after a run of 70 yards, amid the joyous shouts and ear-splitting cheers of the New York ers. He placed the ball fairly between the goal posts and Morley kicked a goal. There was good deal of see-sawing on the field before Columbia showed the master hand once more and this time Weekes again turned up exactly in a place where he was wanted. This time he scored a touchdown far to the right of the goal posts, and when the ball was carried out for Morley to kick it, it was at such an awkward angle that the quarterback failed to send it between the posts. In the second half. Pennsylvania twice seemed to have a chance of scoring. Twice they fooled the local team on trick plays, and from the press stand it looked as if they had been sue cessful on a place kick, but the ball went wide Of the mark and was carried out % yards. The occasion was when Gardner got around Columbia’s right end and had gained about 20 yards when Weekes tackled him.
