...five Columbia starters average exactly six feet, three inches, considerably more than the Crimson's first five. The Lions' first two reserves who will probably play a lot are also big--Stan Moratos at six feet, three inches and Howard Rosenfeld at six feet, five inches.

Rossini & Co. do not seem overwhelmed at the thought of running up against such national strong boys as Kentucky, Oklahoma A. & M. and Bradley.
