Fullback Leon Van Bellingham was the first backfield substitute last fall and is perhaps the squad's best runner. Sophomore halfback Don Kimtis was Columbia's leading ground-gainer last week. Jim Ward at left end is the Light Blue's most experienced lineman.

But the best match of all was the last and deciding one, between Mangrum and Fred Daly. Said Mangrum after 18 holes: "This Irishman is tough; I had a 65 and I'm only one up." After lunch, Mangrum fell one hole behind before the pace told on Daly...
