14 NEW YORK SUNDAY, NO VEEBER 15, 1903. FOOTBALLTEAMSindOSECONTESTS Columbia Triumphs Over Cornell by 17 to 12 West Point Cadets Outplay ChicagoHarvard Collapses Utterly Before Dartmouth, Failing toScore. Th createst day of the college football season was 'celebrated yesterday on gridirons throughout the country, when the teams that for weeks past have been train Inr met In what for most of them wllkbe the last Important contests that they will engage to this year. Yesterday' struggles marked the very highest point of the football fever that has ever run riot through the universities, colleges, and high schools over the United States since the Fall begun. It proved a memorable" day in every way, for, aside from the Importance attached to the wind-up of the season's play for a number of the teams representing the igreat colleges, the football that was playod In the big college games was of a character to delight the souls of the enthusiasts, and results were achieved that called for celebrations extraordinary even In the history of this most popular game.

Most notable of these results were the superbly won victory for the Princeton eleven at' New Haven, after a terrific struggle. In which the Issue was in doubt almost until the expiration of the tln limit was announced, and the none-too-decisive triumph of the Columbia team over Cornell at Ithaca, after a battle over the field that left pride In the achievement even with the vanquished side. There was no great game played In the vicinity of New York and local lovers of football made up a very considerable proportion of the huge crowds that attended the attractive contests at New Haven and Ithaca. At New Haven 30,000 spectators assembled around the big square, and went Into delirium over tn contest between the real giants of the football season, that game being one of the closest and hardest ever fought on the New Haven field, with the result in favor of Princeton by a score of 11 to 6. the victory being earned close to the end of the game through the splendid Individual effort of De "Witt, a football hero c-f last season, who has earned new honors this year.

1 In the Columbia-Cornell game the score was larger for both sides, Columbia winning by 17 to 12. Few of the other games played attracted wide attention, though all were of Interest to the students of football form as bearing on the problem of where the best teams of the season were. COLUMBIA, 17; CORNELL, 12. Social to Tkt Srm York Timts. ITHACA, N.

Nov. 14. Columbia's football team won a victory over Cornell to-day by a. score- of 17 to 12, on Percy Field, but the margin was closer than the figures Indicate. It la no Idle comparison or exaggeration to say that no more exciting finish has ever been seen on a football field, so close did Cornell come to snatching victory from defeat, A costly fumble alone prevented another touch-down for the Ithacans, for they were within 15 yards of the coveted goal and advancing with Irresistible force, with only three minutes more to when the ball was lost.

that knew no bounds reigned supreme, but the ball went to Columbia and back to the xnldfield, and Cornell's chance had gone. But even aside from this, earlier In the last -half Cornell might have won had it not been for a fatal mistake on Brewster's part, aided by a costly fumble and a long run. Columbia bad advanced to Cornell's one-yard line, but there, by a great brace, the Ithacans recovered the ball. Brewster was given the leather to kick, but he made a miserable attempt, and sent it out of bounds on his five-yard line. On the next play Columbia scored.

It was this touch-down that decided the result. The game was played on a muddy field, which was a great advantage to the heavy Columbia team, which averages 8 pounds more to the man than Cornell. Their heavy mass on tackles pushed their opponents back by sheer force, and they slid along on the ground for in Any yards. The Itha-can's during the first half simply could not stop these plays, and Columbia walked down the field with apparent ease. Fumbles were frequent throughout the contest, but were most costly for Cornell.

When the New Yorkers dropped the slippery ball, there was a Columbia player to fall on it. Cornell made big gams by breaking through their opponent's line and blocking kicks. The Ithacans, during the latter part of the first half showed increasing strength, and when the second half began went 4nto the contest with the determination to redeem the game. Then came the fatal poor kick which gave Columbia a lead of seventeen points. But even this great handicap did not discourage the Cornell men.

With still greater desperation, with the time of the half, more than half gone, they went at it and all but won victory. While Brewster's short punt was costly, yet he played a brilliant game at other times. His long punt of eighty-five yards to Columbia's eighteen-yard line did much to win Cornell's first score, and the long drive which he gave the heavy water-soaked bail redeemed his other fizzle. On the whole, the Cornell men seemed to be in better physical condition than their opponents. Some New Yorkers were laid out on every play, wnile Cornell played fast with iKtle delay.

Still Columbia was not played out even in the last moments of the frame, lor after Cornell lost the ball on Co-umbia's fifteen-yard line, the New Yorkers carried it back with hard rushes until they had it In the middle of the field, when time was called. For Columbia the cool-headed work of Quarter Back Jones was the most remarkable. Smith, while he lasted, was a tower of strength and made many gains, but his condition did not permit him to play out the first half. Dufl and Tomlinson made many gains. Thorpe and Bruce also did great work for the Blue and White.

For Cornell, Rice, Coffin, and Hunt were the stars i hut Costello'e great work In- break- ing through the lines won him a reputation. Forty did well, Davitt and Halliday also made a good showing. Cape Hunt won the toss. Cant. Smith kicked off to Brewster, who returned the ball ten yards.

a lively, and well-contested game between Eastern and Western football teams played here to day the West Point Cadets defeated the Chicago University eleven by the score of 10 to J.i It was a1 lucky victory for the army, however, as it waa the result of an Interference with a fair catch on the part of a Chicago player during the last few minutes of the game. This Interfer ence gave a chance to West Point, of which she quickly availed herself. Doe scoring a goal from placement As a test of the merits of Eastern and Western styles of football, the game scarce ly could be taken aa a fair I as Is on which to make a comparison. The visitors played fast game, but they lacked the ability to gain as much ground aa their fast work warranted. They were very quick to start their plays, but In some Instances only got a few yards, where they ought to have made from ten to fifteen yards or even more.

The local men also played fast and their tackling was better than that of their opponents. The Chicago team waa by far the heavier, but they showed a lack of variety la their plays, which were mainly directed at the tackles. Each eleven was much stronger in attack than In defensive work. Particular Interest wag centred In the work of Eckersall, the Chicago quarter back, but while he acquitted himself very creditably he was not as effective as wus anticipated. Two of his drop kicks were cleverly blocked, and the first one he at tempted waa ill-timed.

He was, however. very fast af hit. times, and on one occasion he gave an exhibition of dodging In which he gained twenty-five yards. This par ticular play was one of the prettiest ever seen on a football field, and It was gen erously applauded. Eckersall was easily the star of the visiting plajers, and his punting was admired by the critics.

Coach Stagg had his men In fine condition, only two changes being made In Chicago's line up during the game, and tl.ese occurred In the second half.

Once Chlxigo had tue ball close to the goal line, but lost it when a touch-down seemed Imminent Then after a series oi punts west Point got the ball Into her opponents' territory, and Kams- worth's fine work got it over tbs line. Hulf a aosen umes cnicago got it dangerously near to the line, but each time The stubborn soldier lads proved to be invulnerable in In the second half the visitors crossed the cadets' goal line and kicked the goat About four thousand persors saw the game, nearly half that number having coxuo up from New York. The weather was cl-jux and warm, in fact a bit too wirm to suit the players: the visitors unloved the outing very rmnch -and went away well satisfied that they had witnessed a fine exhibition, which, if faulty at times, was oa the wnoie luii oi me ana energy. Doe started the game, klclcng off to Eckersall, who came back like a bullet to the centre of the field, a run of nearlv fiftv yards. Then the visitors began some fine oiieneive won in wnicn tne t.iree nacks went through West Point's intra until they got the ball on the twentv-five-yard -line, iiera vaicago i a ilea to-giiin on tne Instead of endeavoring to rush the bail again Eckersall drooped back for a try at goal.

Farns. worth was forced through Chicago's right tackle for eight yards, and with similar attacks the cadets carried the ball to Chicago's twenty-five-yard line.

From that point Farnsworth made a plunge for ten yards. Then" the visitors braced up, and Graves tried a drop kick for goat The ball was blocked, but farnsworth caught It on the bound and rutthed it to Chicago's three-yard line.

The visitors rushed again successfully, Besdeck, Schnur, and Eckersall making nineteen yards in three successive tries hen inside the twenty-five-yard line Chicago dropped one of her big ends back to help the runner, and soon had the ball on West Point's ten-yard line. Schnur then went around the left end for a touchdown. Eclrrsall caught ths punt out and Ellsworth kicked the goal. During the greater part of the remainder of the game the ball was in Chicago territory. The army by steady work advanced it to the six-yard line, where it was lost on a fumble.

Just as he was about to reach for the ball one of the opposing players ran up to him. and in doing so got ahead of the pigskin, which hit the Western man on the back of the head. Another Crl-eagoan picked up the ball and ran on toward West Point's goal, near which lie was downed. In the meantime Stillman hsd-made a claim of Interference, which tte umpire allowed.

For the third time this season the University of Pennsylvania football team was obliged to sip of the bitter cvp of defeat This afternoon, on Franklin eleven from the Carlifle School of Industrial Training defeated the Quakers by the score of 10 to e.

The "redmea" outwitted and. excepting In a few outclassed the pale faces representing Pennsylvania, and the victory Is a highly creditable one to Coach Warner and his sturdy team. From the moment the referee's whistle started play until the end bf the first half of the game. Carlisle's goal was never, menaced. Had It not been for several fumbles, when the ball was traveling toward the Red and Blue goal line, the 'Indians score would have been doubled In the first thirty-five minutes of play.

Penn's line gave way before the concerted and well-directed attack of Carlisle, and. when line plunges were varied with an end there was always a wide' gap on MeUger-s side of the field. The plucky Captain soon realized that he was away below his usual form, and near the close of the first half, when a second score waa imminent, he retired from the game. To sturdy little Quarter Back Johnson and the remarkable skill of Full Back Williams in handling punts, and the all-round work of Jude, Mathews, Exendlne, and Charles. Is Carlisle Indebted for her victory.
