FOOTBALL VICTORY
PLEASES COLUMBIA
Loss of Dal Cochrane, However,
Will Weaken Eleven.

Columbia was jubilant yesterday at
the victory over the Connecticut Ag-
gies on Saturday, despite the fact that
il cost the Blue and White the SER
vices of Dial Cochrane, the best punter
on the squad and brilliant defensive
back.
The most pleasing feature of Satur-
days play was the better defensive
work of the forward line. Metcalf
seems to have discarded. to some eX-
tent at least, his watchful waiting tao
tics, for the line, instead of waiting
for the attack to form and charge, tore
right in and smashed way through TO
the backs. Ample evidence of this was
given by the fact that the Aggies were
able 10 make only one first down by
straight rushing tactics.
Healey was badly missed at tackle,
for Donaldson, who played the position
for him. was slow and never seemed 70
get into the play until the crisis was
passed.
Captain Simonds in his two games
has not shone with great brilliance.
His best features are his GOODNESS and
his defensive work. He is poor at car
rying the ball, for the reason that he
starts slowly and fails to see his open
ings When Metcalf gets all his regu-
lars in the backfeld again it would not
be surprising to see Simonds moved 20

Should or should not an orCanza-

What distinction. if any, should be
