keep Princeton down to a score Of 60 is a per-

pretty sure to give good account of themselves
This Is the first year that the Columbus have
had a team. Last year there were few unim-
portant games, but the majority of the old men
now on the team played then on the Duponts or

L. s. Wells. jr., the captain Of the team, is
an experienced foot ball man, and in addition
to being a first-rate player himself he knows

years there. He plays right tackle on the
Columbias. He is sure, safe and makes n
strong point of falling on the ball. The CEN

man, good bucker and PLAYS a
sharp, aggressive game. W. H. Lewis, who
plays right guard, is green hand. but takes to
