...weakness was a frightening susceptibility to end sweeps and, granted that Columbia has no backs to match the ones Harvard saw racing around at Palo Alto, a similar defensive flaw today could easily put the kibosh on the Crimson's hopes for its first victory of the season. The Lions turned the Amherst ends with relative ease last week. Today their first string fullback, who was ineligible for the Lord Jeff game, will be available and at the same time the Harvard line will not be at full strength...
What remains to be seem tomorrow is whether Little's sophomores gained enough experience from the game to make their presence felt. Harvard end coach Elmer Madar scouted the Light Blue last week and reported that Columbia is 20 percent better than the team which lost to the Crimson, 33 to 24, here last year...
Columbia's most capable lineman is Co-Captain Jim Ward, an agressive pass-catcher and the Lions' only experienced offensive end. The other end is Wes Bomm, a 6-3 soph. The tackles are two converted ends, Al Cannon and sophomore Gerry Cozzi; John Bacauskas, a burly 200-pounder, and Bill Pell, a reserve lineman last year, man the guard positions; and John Wagner, another soph, replaces Gene Shekitka at center. The average weight of the line is 187 pounds, Harvard's is about ten pounds heavier...
...Captain Loon Van Bellingham operates at fullback and his forte is running. Last year he was the fifth man in the backfield, subbing at halfback for Jack Nork end at fullback for Kusserow. He was ineligible for the Amherst game because he took a makeup exam during the summer and his mark just came in Wednesday. Madar thus didn't get a chance...

The opposing quarterbacks, Bill Henry and Russell, are both from Worcester, and Henry's brother, Neil, is a spare Lion end...
