NEW YORK, October 14-Columbia defeated Williams in a hard-fought foot ball game at American League Park today, but allowed the minor college to cross their goal line, the final score being IL to s. The teams were evenly matched, but toward the close of the first half Columbia’s condton told and hard rushes by Fisher, Helm rich and Won SaltZa. gaining five yards at time, resulted in touchdown. Fisher missed the goal. Columbia opened the second half with fast play. The Williams line crumbled up at the attack OF Fisher and Won Saltza. the latter going through for fifteen yards at a time and finally scoring touchdown Echeverria kicked the goal. Won Saltza was used up, however, and Brown replaced him. This proved disastrous to Columbia. for Brown was repeatedly off side and was weak on defensive, Williams scoring through him.
