NEW YORK (AP) _ Yale built a 31-point lead behind the passing of Joe Walland and the running of Rashad Bartholomew, then withstood a late Columbia rally for a 41-29 victory Saturday.

Walland ran 3 yards for a first-quarter touchdown and passed 31 yards to Jake Fuller in the second quarter. Bartholomew gained 131 yards on 28 carries, including touchdown runs of 2 yards in the second quarter and 20 yards in the third quarter.

Mike Murawczyk kicked his second field goal, a 19-yarder, with 37 seconds left in the third quarter to give the Bulldogs (5-1, 2-1 Ivy League) a 41-10 lead.

Sophomore quarterback Jeff McCall, who started the second half, sparked the Lions' second-half surge by completing 12 of 21 passes for 162 yards and two scores.

McCall threw TD passes of 33 yards to Justin Meadlin and 19 yards to Armand Dawkins in the fourth quarter, and Johnathan Reese added a 1-yard TD run in the final period for the Lions (2-4, 0-3).

Walland was 13-of-26 for 185 yards. He was relieved briefly by Peter Lee in the third quarter before Columbia rallied and Walland returned to steady the Bulldogs offense as Yale won its fifth straight.

Harry Lee ran for a 1-yard touchdown in the third quarter to end a 65-yard drive that put the Bulldogs ahead 38-10 before Murawczyk's field goal gave Yale its largest lead. Columbia's only first-half score came on a 36-yard field goal by Neal Kravitz midway through the second quarter.
