Two thousand five hundred students held a mass-meeting in Columbia University gym this afternoon with the general result that the gridiron sport Is likely to be restored there next year. Nothing was officially sald by the faculty on the sybject, but Judging by the enthusiasm and cheering at the mere suggestion of the football game, the sentimentsot the students in that direction will be hard to overcome. The three-minute speech of President Nicholas Murray Butler in which he asked for the united support of all Columbia's ac. Uvities, was taken to be very si nificant, Walter W. Dwyer, President of the Students’ Board of Athletics, made no bones about where be stood on the gridiron sport by saying that “we h want football” in the course of his UNOAUNTED INS PANTING RACE -— ATOHARLESTON Colors Beats Good Field in Third Event by a Head.

The ex- Harvard captain and all-American tackle sald that if Columbia had foot- ball in 1915 he would volunteer as coach of the team. Fish's fatherand grandfather were Columbia men. During the meeting, which didny last more than half an hour, cards were circulated jong the students reading as follows “If I am in college in 1915 I hereby promise to report for football practice and to subscribe $3 for Columbia athletics.

TORIES showing how badly the football committee handled the Princeton’a eleven this year are giving increased impetus to the de- mand from both students and grad- uates for a one-man coaching system for the Orange and Black.

According to this yarn “Snake” Ames, Chairman of the committee, asked Tibbott in the dressing room after the game what he was doing so close to the line when Yale scored her first touchdown on a fofward pass from LeGore to Ainsworth. “I was ordered to play up near the line yesterday,” replied Tibbott, who had he been in his regular po- sition might have been abie to inter- cept the pass, As it was he was so close to the line that the pass went over his ‘head and he couldn't it back quick enough to catch Alns- worth, who was racing to the goal with the ball. Ames investigated and discovered that one of thé younger members, without any aathority and acting solely on his own responsibil- ity, had changed the entire system for Lee gave how the fine material at Princeton this season was juggled. “We old lows,” eald the former Tiger star, made to feel that we were not wanted, We tri players be taug' the game, tackling and inte! but those in chary team must be drilled in the new foot- ball. The committee began teaching uch a radical game that the old- timers their eyes in amasze- ment.” It was only just before the game of the tiwith Harvard that the advi former si was and more attention was then paid to the rudi- ments, which .should have been ponnaed into the players at the very ginning of the season, before any “new stuff,” as the committeemen called the passing game, was taken uD After all the errors the Football Committee is supposed to have com- mitted, it is little wonder that Prince- ton wants just one man to guide her eleven next year.
