Curnane'S Work
ALwayS Effective

To CuTudnc and Smith too much cred
it cannot be given. for the two games
that the Columbia men won. and the
only two that the Aggies have lost in
the post season were taken largely
through the work Of these two. Side
by side for three years have the deep
sea tars worked on the Dolphin. and
that they have not lost any Of the cum
ming which made the baseball team Of
that good ship so formidable. IS at

hard all the way. and seemed at his
best when men were on bases. The
only run that the Farmers got was

hand. Columbia has played four games

against Foundry, Mullen injured his

Titus, the former slab artist OF

work in the box gave the Columbia men
a chance TO tuck the game away. for he

afterward scored.

thing for the Aggies. and the crowd
was unusually silent as Wiley was car
