Although the Crimson might be a slight favorite when at full strength, Wesleyan rates an even chance in this afternoon's game. Bruce Munro figures on opposition tougher than Williams, but not as tough as Trinity. The Crimson topped Williams 2-1 in overtime, but lost to Trinity...
Besides two good ends, Carr has an able receiver in the backfield. He is slight Bob Mercier, a half who stands only five foot six and weighs but 155. Two seniors complete the starting backfield, and all have performed adequately in the Lions' first three games, although Columbia's ground attack admittedly isn't strong.

He remembered that it was the first anniversary of his mother's death. For the first time in his life-in memory of his mother-Gabriele...
