  COLUMBIA ROUTEDB BY CORNELL ITHACA FOOTBALL TEAM WINS BY TIE SCORE or “a TO o. The First Half stubborniy Contested. but Tn the Second the visitors Make Touch downs Rapidly brewster Runs Os Yards through Entire Light HUI Line. w TIC htcOUu ~ tsttOTs “eNS OuCu- downs Rapidly -Drewster Runs os Yards through Entire Light Hue Line. The defence OF the Columbia football team collapsed before the determined and swift moving onslaught of the big Cornell men yesterday and the eleven young fell lows who sport the blue and white were forced to accept a humil ating defeat from the Ithaca eleven. Lights were burning and only tho dim outlines OF the twenty two participants in the battle could be seen through the dusk when tho game ended. The final score was “a TO o, and a game which at tho end of the first half promised 20 be at least close ended in almost a rout. Columbia fought back stubbornly In the first half, giving as good rs they received, but in the second half the cnpples began 90 weaken and Cornell, growing stron ger every minute. battered the Columbia men down. toppled them over and hurled them back, making three out Of the four touch downs In the second half. Cornelrs score was only five less than she made against Columbia two years ago. but In yesterdays game Columbia put up a much better fight. The Columbia partisans werc on the anxious seat as tho teams first came on the field 10 see whether their mainstay Weekes would play. They saw the star half Back in uniform. but he was limping painfully. He hobblcd across to a bench. and when his team formed for signal praoticc no was not in line. The main handicap that Columbia suffered through Weckes’s absence was in defence. Weekes’s ability 10 head on men with the ball was sorely missed Yesterday. Not only did the Cornell backs End great gaps in the Columbia line to jump through, but the lack OF the right man TO stop them after they cleared the scrimmage and were racing over the chalk marks was fatal to Columbia’s hopes. First Berrien played back ON the defence for Columbia. Later Willard dropped back, Berrien going up TO brace the line. Had this change not been made Columbia would have Jared better. as Willard, who was lame and bruised, wa almost useless In heading OIL the brawny Cornell backs. The result was not entirely unexpected. The Sun contained a prediction yesterday of “a 10 Din favor of Cornell and also pointed out the other day that II Cornell won II might be by a big score. One noticeable shortcoming In Columbia’s play was that the man with the ball did not receive the proper amount Of assistance. The close formation of backs Is a good play with the DdChb NoihAhk OkcNhc’ Wv eo ~ amount to much yesterday because the ball carrier did not have enough help. Smith who really did valiant work for Co lumbia had To fight his way alone more than once. The opening would be made for him and he would find IL quickly. but there was no one near to lend him a helping hand, such as Is 30 essential 70 q good attack. There was more speed and team work in Comell’s attack. The IthaoAns had pretty interferenoe and they fooled the light blue badly with the delayed pass. When Columbia began TO stop this play the game was nearly over. The Columbia tackles wore q mark for Cornell’s attack. Gain after gain wa made through Kindgen. Bruce. who has also been on the injured list. did well considering his lameness and was much steadier than Kindgen. AZ advancing the ball, however, from the Ia ckle back formation he was not effective and showed q costly tendency 20 tumble. The combination of Willard at quarter and Morley ut half back did not prove a good one for Columbia. though the best abe could do under the circumstances. Morley ut quarter probably would ha We stea died the whole team. While the form displayed by Cornell was such as 10 prove that she would have won the game under any circumstances. still the score doubtless would have been closer with Morley at quarter, ana Weekes az half. Besides the delayed pass the Cornell formation Of dropping one OF her giant guards back was effective, the guard taking a position alongside the other backs. The dispute about the officials was settled before the game by having Upton referee one half. with Jansway umpire. and then changing about at ths end OF the first half There was no delay over this point, but there was delay after delay during the game, players hcilg lul up for repairs With great ineqsency, making the game drsg along % a uresJrna length. just before the finish the Cornell men were dong some Of the p~rettiest and most spectacular WORK ~ the game. but the eject ~as spoiled IN q measure by the fast-dusosnding darkIs-s Ills hrst half.

  Cornell 24-CoIumbia 0 New York, Nov. 16-Cornell “a, Co lumbia 0. These figures speak for them selves and tell the downfall of Column bias football team this afternoon, on the Polo Grounds, where the Morning side Heights men We’re altogether out generated and outplayed by the sturdy players by Cornell University Coach Starbuck outwitted Coach Sanford, and every play and every gain made by the IthacanS seemed to surprise and bewilder the Columbia University team. Smarting under its defeat by the | Syracuse University team a week ago, Columbia put her best team in the field for today’s game, sending all her strongest players into the lineup with one exception, and that one was Harold Weekes, who is deemed almost a | team in himself Bruce, Smith, King | den, Berrien Morley, Shaw and Lancon were all there and did their best | but Weekes, disabled because of an in | jured knee, had to lie beside the side ! lines, while time and time again he saw opportunities when his famous hurdling might have served to score for his university. ! For the first half the game was a fairly well balanced one, Columbia hold | ing her own for the greater part of the time. 1t was a see-Saw contest until one of Columbia’s players made a bad tumble, and Brewster brought the ball to Columbias five yard line. There Van Hoevenberg made a flying tackle. Purcell then made three yards through the centre and was downed by Morley. Hunt, after an attempt at a tackles back play, was pushed over the lineup for a touchdown. When the ball was brought out it was at difficult angle for kicking a goal, but Coffin was equal m ha clio was the only scoring done in the first half, which ended with the ball on Cor nells so yard line. Neither side made any change in the lineup when the game was resumed in the second half until after 10 minutes play. Then Berrien went to quarter and Willard took his place at fullback. This was a weak move on Columbias part, for Schoelkopf easily threw off Willard who attempted to tackle him, scoring a touchdown after run Of SIS yards. He planted the ball squarely behind the goal posts, and Coffin kicked goal, making the score Cornell II, Columbia 0. A few minutes later Schoelkopf, after a brilliant bit of playing, scored anoth er touchdown for Cornell, and the ball having been kicked out by Brewster at an awkward angle, Coffin Sc cured it and kicked still another goal, adding six more to the score Toward the close of the game darkness fell upon the field, and it was almost impossible to see the players. The ball was on Cornell’s 10 yard line, and it looked as If Columbia might have a chance of avoiding an utter defeat, when the Ithacans fooled their opponents on delayed pass. Brewster, holding the pigskin, got around the right end and was well up the field before the local players saw through the trick. He had a clear lead of six or seven yards. but as he crossed the goal line for touchdown, Berrien and Willard were at his heels They were unable to pre- a touchdown and Coffin kicked making the total score, Cornell “A, mbia 0. The Cornell team played as one man, and at every stage of the game they proved themselves to be the superiors of Columbia’s team.
