  Big SURPRISE FOR COLUMBIA. SYRACUSE DEFEATS LIGHT BLUE IN A HARD GAME. Local Player Fail to Score I’m the First HaM-Brown and Henderson DO star Work for the visitors -Weekes’s Hurdl- ing Makes Most Ground for Columbia. The Young Lochinvar” came from the North yesterday and took Columbia’s Wanted football team into camp by a score OF II TO 8. Not until the game was over did the Blue and White realize whnt had happened, and then each man on the eleven looked and acted as II he had lost his last friend. Co. lumbia men have been asking ever since the whistle blow. how IL happened and why. ! The answer is simply that Syracuse played the fastest and most aggressive football that has been seen In New York this year. Their team was outweished, but their snap and dash did not give Columbia time to think before the Orange backs were speeding toward the goal line. Morley at quarter back for Columbia was slow and deliberate. while 0’Neil snapped the ball so quickly that more than once Columbia’s defence did not have time TO form. Brown and Henderson, the Syracuse half backs, were easily the stars Of the day. They ran behind a peculiar kind OF tandem interference with some OF the features OF the guards-back play. and time and again weekes was the only man between the runner and the coveted goal. Another point at which syracuse eNCelleO was III III WI VI her ends. Both Boland and Weir were In every play, and the spectacular end runs OF Harold Weekes got no further than the cmbryonio sta &c. Van Hoevenberg and Boyesen. on the contrary, were repeatedly Doxed and their brilliant work against Pennsylvania failed 10 materialize against the strong IN ference which they encountered yesterday The rush lines Of the teams were about evenly matched although Lancon outplayed his man while Irvine and Whitwell were decidedly In ferior to their upstate opponents. Syracuse chose the north goal and kicked out the bounds. O’Neil kicked again ana weekes ran back ten yards. Duel failed to gain for Columbia and Weekes began a series Of hurdle plays that seldom failed to gain. He made seven yards on his first attempt and followed with Ave. Moore and Lancon we’re temporarily injured. but continued 20 play. Berrlen and Duel advanced the ball steadily for Columbia and the referee added fifteen yards for syracuse on-sine pias. ~ series OF mass plays directed at the Syracuse centre gained the necessary distance Weekes made two yards Ground dI Ieat foe enc ian v pTai’ He made three more in the same mannef On a fake hurdle BerTien went through fac t for sev c,.s yards ySls.

  TOOK COLUMBIA INTO CAMP. Syracuse University Defeats the Blue and white Eleven. NEW YORK. Nov. 9.-Syracuse Uni versity today took Columbia’s S yaunted football team into camp by a score of II to 5 Syracuse played the fastest and most aggressive football that has been seen in New York this year. Their team was outweighed, but their snap and dash did not give Columbia time to think before the Orange backs were speeding toward the goal line. Morley, at quarter back, for Columbia, was slow and delib crate. while O’Neil snapped the ball so quickly that more than once Columbia’s defence did not have time to form. Brown and Henderson were the Syracusc halfbacks, and were easily the stars of the day. They ran behind peculiar kind of tandem interference, with some Of the features Of the guards back play, and time and again Weekes was the only man between the runner and the coveted goal. Another point on which Syracuse excelled was in the work of her ends. Both Boland and Weir were in every play, and the spectacular end runs of Harold Weekes got no further than the embryonic stage. Van Hoevenburg and Boyson, on the contrary, were repeatedly boxed, and their brilliant work against Pennsylvania failed TO materislize against the strong interference which they encountered today The rush lines of the teams were about evenly matched
