  VICTORY FOR AMHERST. COLUMBIA LOSES. 70 TO o. Massachusetts, Elsuen Outclosses the Blue and White. Columh.a at American LeacUe Park yesterday afternoon By a score Of l. 30 Q. Columbia s heres OF q victorious seacon In her big games with Tale Pennsylvania end Cornell received a decided shock. and ehere were few Columbia adsereats who would predict las- night anything save defeat FOR the Biue and White in these rhree matches. There was hardly a feature in -olurnbia’s play thai gare evidence Of promise FOR TIE big game. Coiurnia throushou. played very poor foot hal ard Amherst played 4 far better game There was &c point IN which Columbia col!d really claim superiority 70 he visitors The only reason Amherst cid not score oftener was not because Of any strength OF The home team but because OF the failure OF the visitors 20 take advantage OF their opportunities. Five tines Amherst fumbled the ball AT critical moments, and twice oRly. once IT each half. did Columbia succeed in recovering the hall from her opponents on downs. Columbia might almost as well have had an eleven OF seven men. so useless did the four men or the left OF the line prove. Echeverria, at left guard, was a target for the Amherst hacks. and again and again he was thrown aside as The Massachusetts men walked BY him for substantial gains. Finnegan was another weak spot, ard Brown was little better Post proved utterly unable 70 cope with Arnherst’s end plays. and often Muir. from the other end y the line was the man who finally stopped q pay thar had gone around Post ne other seven men or the Columbia eleven did all they could. but they were unable 10 check Ar-hers.’s attack directed at the left side For Amherst the star player was Hubbard He adrancec rha ball time after tine, and scored both Of Aulhe-st’s touchdowns. once he ran 100 yards for an apparent Touchdown. but hr1 Il Mne. and TIE play not allowed A few moments larer. after n. visitors mad advanced the leather twenty yards more on line plunges. Hubbard got around Post. ard. shaking or every Columbia tackler. ran eighty yards Toq touchdown. almost duplicating his previous feat which had not counted. For Columbia. Muir. al end, played an eToelent game Metzenthin did his best at quarrerback but, lacking any kind OF adequate sup Fort trcrl his team mates, he vas unable 20 DO much or quarterback runs. II was the lack OF team playing that did much TO iose Columbia the game. The men played each for himself. as they did early in the season, and often they had scarcely got into their places before Am he-st had its play under way. and had rushed the bah several yards before they were downed. This inability 70 get together los- Columbia practically q sure touchdown az the start OF The second half Then Columbia had the ball within Eve yards Of the visitors goal lire, only 10 lose il downs, when four attempts yielded only a yard gain. About i’ve thousand spectators saw The game There was q goodIy crowd OF Columbia men. who were reinforced with q brass band Am herst had also good sized delegation OF sup yorters who went Wild when their eleven was n rst 10 score Amherst won The toss and took the north END OF The gridiron- Columbia kicked OF. and, with the ball once II their possession.

  ALAS. POOR COLUMBIA Overwhelmed by Amherst Speed and Strength. and Beaten. IL to o. speed, and outclassed In playing ability and weight. Columbia 3 football team was crushed by Amherst yesterday at American League Park. Two touchdowns and two goals. total Of l2points. was the score OF the visitors while Columbia did not seriously threaten her opponents goal line. The AM herst team not once was stopped by Columbia and lost tho leather mainly on fumbles. To Hubbard, her left half back. Amherst owed her two touchdowns and her many long and easy gains. Three times in the game Hubbard broke through the entire Columbia team, swept aside Metzenthin. and made long runs for touchdowns. The longest OF these. when Hubbard took the leather on his own lo-yard line and dashed 100 yards for touchdown. was not allowed Shannon had been holding Post, around whose end Hub bard had sprinted. and the play was called back Nothing daunted, minute later Hub bard again took the ball and this time ran eighty yards for a touchdown. He 1t was. too. who in the first half took the leather for thirty yards and the first touchdown Of the game. after the game tears stood In the eyes Of Thorp and Stangland. the mon who had played the game for all II was worth Tor Columbia. They were not at fault, but the same could not be said of the entire left wing OF the Column bia defence. From Post TO Finnegan. the line was weak. Post was easily boxed out OF every play, and it was his end that HUB bard circled at viii Brown at tackle was good for a gain whenever Amherst 80 willed IT, Ecbeverria m light as well have been on the side lines for all the aid he rendered Column bia Finnegan, hav ing to take up double task, also was a mark for the Amherst attack The other side was strong. Stangland. Thorp and Muir played e1cellently. the last named player especially. He was in every play, downing runners that Post should never have let 60 by him. pursuing Hubbard on both his runs and ailing him, although In both cases Q bit two late.
