Only toward the very close of the game did Columbia show to better advantage than her rivals With scarce | ten minutes to play, Columbia made a game stand and not only prevented Pennsylvania from making much head way against her, but really had the bet ter Of the argument.

  BY A SCORE OF % TOO Pennsylvania Shows Its Relative Su- periority Over Columbia Eleven. New York Nov. 26.-Columbia was no match for Pennsylvania in the an nual football game played at American League park, Saturday afternoon. At all stages and in all departments of the game the Pennsylvania were superior and the final score of % to indicates the relative strength of the teams. Carter. Columbias star back, was badly injured in a scrimmage late in the second half and had to be carried from the field. 1t was found that he had wrenched his spine and he was taken in an ambulance to a private hospital. Throughout the game Pennsylvania played good hard football. Columbia did not once rush the ball for first downs. The work of Collins at quarter-back was the feature of the blue and whites play. He did not quite match Stevenson in the distances of his punts but he was a sure man in the back field and time after time his sure tackles saved the Columbia goal.
