Football New Boost for Columbia Sports
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia, has always been known to the
college world as a man of fixed Ideas. Columbia students know that better
than any one else, because for a period of 10 years Doctor Butler kept the ban
f' en Intercollegiate football at the New York Institution. Therefore, when tho
rl'tudents and graduates were ablo to persuade Doctor Butler to restore football
i an Intercollegiate gamo It should be regarded as a great achievement, ln
& tplte of tho restrictions under which tho game is to bo restored.
T Restoring football to Columbia will bo tho greatest tonic Columbia sports
I could have. Primarily, It gives Columbia sports a bank account which will re
L Ueve tho students of the necessity of taking up annual contributions to finance
t the other major and minor sports. Possibly tho faculty members also felt tho
'drain on their own pocketbooks, nnd are secretly pleased. Tho college world
i'does not appreciate tho narrow margin by which several sports at Columbia
I vera saved, notably rowing. Only last year tho New Yorkers were on tho point
ref giving up their crews, but now that they have football for a moneymaker,
..rowing, as well as other sports, will be assured of enough money to float them
(rota year to year.
Apparent Discrimination in Restrictions
Probably tho Columbia authorities did not intend to make any discrimi
nation when they named Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Cornell as tho only
Institutions which Columbia could not play for a poriod of five years, during
friilch the game is to be on probation. "Why was Dartmouth not Included?
Particularly since Dartmouth, for tho last two years, has been almost on a
par with Harvard for championship honors, nnd superior to tho other four.
(Dartmouth may relish tho chnnco to play
jaen will not bo overjoyed that they should bo ranked outsldo this "Big Hvi,"
1 An Aid to Other Sports
i The restoration of football at Columbia probably means tho adoption of
th'e one-year residence and freshman rules. These are required for playing
football, and Columbia has had these rules forced on her ln basket ball, and
the Swimming Association threatens to pass similar regulations. "Within the
0 ii few years Columbia Is suro to get back Into the front ranks of lnter
f collegiate athletics, and largely because football has been restored.

CORNELL VS. COLUMBIA TODAY
First Bip; Ball Game on Now Yorkers'
Field.
NEW TORK, April 23. Columbia plays
Cornell today on South Field at i o'clock.
This Is Columbia's first big home base
ball game. The Blue and White team
has been going through a stage of de
velopment nnd uncertainty that has af
fected the power of their play.
The last six Innings of the Talc game,
ln which the Columbia men had tho Klls
without a run, was an Indicative sign that
a solution to the Infield problem has
been discovered. With the Infield run
ning smoothly there Ib every reason to
believe that Columbia will register a
victory over Cornell.

trouble. At the same time they should
prove themselves among the topnotch
twlrlers in scholastic circles here.
Piatt and Lamb are shouldering the bur
den of the mound duties for the German
town boya. The games In which they
have started and returned on the long end
of the score prove conclusively that
they need but fair support and a, few run
to collect soalp of opponents.

tUulllngs sent In Otto Hess yesterday to
work against thn Invincible Alnxnnder.
Neither Itlxey nor Bqumgartncr hitR been

to depend upon one of these young men
this season If his tenm Is to make a hard

It if Mayer's turn, and Pat may send

Thus far. Bill Klllefer hnR done nil ot

likely that he will be In again this aft

to win the odds are that Manager Mornn
will keep his victorious combination in

one change during the lust weik; that is,
he has shifted his outdclders, giving

plncp tn another tn see him In "The
Tramp." "A .tltney Klopement," "In the

An Unexpected Thrill
A thrill not down ln the original story
occurred whllo "Tho Wild Engine," the
latest episode ot Kalem's Hazards of
Helen Ilallroad Series, was filmed.
Astride a motorcycle, Helen Holmes, the
heroine of this series, plunged off a high
trestle and landed In the river.
According to the story, Miss Holmes
was to have brought the motorcycle to n
halt on the edge of the trestle. Instead,
the machine got beyond her control. Un
able to stop It, the actresH was hurled
Into the river when the motorcycle shot
out Into space.
The accident was totally unexpected
and for a time the observers on shoro
were paralyzed with fright. Fortunately,
however. Miss Holmes Is an excellent
BWlmmer and came to tho surface of the
stream. Before a boat could be shoved
out fiom shore she was swimming to
safety.
According to the Kalem actress, some
thing went wrong and she was unable to
shut oft the power. Because of the steel
girders on both sides of tho trestle, Miss
Holmes was compelled to steer a straight
course. She proved to be none the worse
for her experience, ami after uettlmr Into
dry clothes went ahead with the picture.
