Backed by three consecutive victories, the freshmen eleven has been working hard on a short-passing game. Injuries, however, may soften the punch of a usually hard-hitting scoring line. Chris Martin, a wing forward, will be missing from the field on account of a pulled tendon, while Philip Bernstein, outside left, will be hampered by a sore ankle...
Most of the Crimson forwards are off the injured list and Munro can alternate two good units. The first line is still made up of the team's two scoring leaders: Roger Tuckerman (4 goals), Larry Ekpebu (3 goals), as well as John MacIntosh, John Hedreen, and Keith Lowe...
VENUS IN SPARTA, by Louis Auchincloss (280 pp.; Houghfon Mifflin; $3.50), is about a kind of hidebound Dr. Jekyll whose double life eventually destroys him. At 45, Michael Parish is a member of all the right New York clubs, a trustee of his Grotonesque prep school, and in line for the presidency of a Wall Street bank. He has always tried to measure up to the principles he learned at his mother's knee -live on the right side of the park, and never attend matinees. But a series of rude intrusions disrupt his neat, parklike existence. First...
Guard Terry Lenzner darted into the Lions' backfield to recover a fumble on the home team's 23 yard line, and three plays later another lineman set up the Crimson's first score. An erratic pass by Ravenel bounced off receiver Hank Keohane's shoulder, and was grabbed on the fly by center Pete Eliades, who ran it to the one foot line.

Though the Crimson line held the Columbia offense well, the Lions themselves often seemed to make the defensive job easier. Coach Buff Donelli introduced a few surprise formations in the game--the split-T with a man in motion and a variation of the single wing which he calls the X formation--but they seemed to confuse his own men more than the Crimson. Several big losses and a few of the fumbles were due to missed backfield connections on these plays, flashy as they semed when they worked, and Donelli probably wishes he had given his team more practice...
