COLLEGE ATHLETICS. 



4i5 



De Young of Columbia divided the hon- 

 ors of the evening with Clapp, and did 

 some very brilliant work on the rings. He 

 performed the difficult Maltese cross figure.

 together ended the exhibition, and after 

 showing their good will for each other by 

 repeated cheers the teams brought their ex-

THE GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY MEET. 



The Georgetown University Athletic As- 

 sociation held the first indoor athletic meet 

 ever held in Washington, D. C, on the 

 evening of March nth. That the meet was 

 a great success was attested by the size of 

 the audience, and the number of out of town 

 entries. 



The feature of the evening was the jump- 

 ing of O. K. Baxter of the University of 

 Pennsylvania in the running high jump. 

 After winning that event at 6 feet 1 inch, 

 he tried for the indoor record, and suc- 

 ceeded in going 6 feet 3^4 inches. In the 

 50 yard invitation run from scratch J. W. 

 B. Tewksbury of Pennsylvania won the 

 final heat in 5 3-5 seconds. 



J. F. Cregan of Princeton, the half mile 

 champion, was ruled out for " pocketing " 

 Grout of Pennsylvania after winning the 

 880 yard dash. The race went to Grout. 

 Summary follows : 



50-Yard Invitation Run, Scratch — Won 

 by J. W. B. Tewksbury, University of 

 Pennsylvania ; Charles H. Mace, Baltimore

COLUMBIA FOOTBALL AND LACROSSE. 



The Columbia Junior-Freshman and 

 Senior - Sophomore consolidated football 

 teams played a game of 2 20-minute halves 

 at Durland's Riding Academy," New York 

 City, on the evening of March 11, for the 

 benefit of the University football associa- 

 tion. Great rivalry was shown, and a lively 

 scrimmage took place on the tan bark. 

 Kicking was not allowed on account of the 

 low hanging lights over the ring. Conse- 

 quently the contest seemed slow to watch, 

 and there was much more rough play in the 

 line than marks the average outdoor game. 

 The final score stood 5 to 5. 



The line up was as follows : 



Junior-Freshmen. Positions. Senior-Sophomores 



Hall Right End Chapman, Sharkey 



Gardiner Right Tackle Russell. Bell 



Rappold, Kebbler .. Right Guard Eggenna, Hall 



Kafka Centre De Witt 



Smyth Left Guard Canther 



Lum ( Capt) Left End Sharkey, Wallace 



Smyth Left Tackle Willed 



Simons, O'Rourke. . Right half back. . . .•. Stromeyer, Wolff 



O'Rourke, Pell Quarter back Smith 



Norman Left half back. Wolff, Van Hovenberg 



Coerr Full back Henderson 



Touchdowns — Coerr, Wolff. Referee, C S. Avers, 

 Princeton. — Umpire, Mr. Spalding. Linesmen — Meyer 

 and Dickinson. 



The game showed that Columbia is not 

 entirely lacking in good football material. 

 If a competent coach is engaged Columbia 

 will have a team of which no college should 

 be ashamed. Many of those who reported 

 for spring practice have had a large amount 

 of experience on other college teams. Any 

 team coming to New Y'ork looking for an 

 easy game will surely be disappointed, for 

 the men are gritty and seem determined to 

 make up by sheer strength what they lack 

 in experience. 



Between the halves of the football game 

 the Crescent Athletic Club and Columbia 

 Lacrosse teams played a hotly contested 

 game. The score at the calling of time 

 stood 6 to 4 in Crescent's favor. 



The teams played as follows : 



Columbia. Position. Crescent A. C. 



B.Smith...' Goal G. H. Pettit 



Kittle Point L. Moses. Jr. 



Schwartz First defence C. C Miller
