Things are not so dark on Morning-side Heights, however, as Little would suggest. He has, after all, a pair of backs named Rossides and Kusserow, who have established or are threatening umpteen all-time Columbia records. With Ventan Yablonski, last year's fullback, graduated, Kusserow will probably return to his old fullback position this year...

Linemen who are back from the wars include ends Walter Roberts and Leo Troy, centers Chet Yablonski and Phil Nolan, and John DeGangi, Ted Strojny, John Fentana, and Gene Spinelli.
