COLUMBIA SQUAD
 IS AFTER TITLE
Staff Of Coaches to Try to Whip
 Team Into Form This Year

New Ork, Sept. D NP)-A cOacnlh@ staff assembled from the east, middle west and Pacific coast went into profound huddle today in an effort t0 think Columbia University into something approaching champion ship honors during the coming foot ball season.
 Head Coach Charley Crowley, back after a summer passed in the WaCing hrcezes of Cape Cod met his new corps of assistants preparatory to putting a squad of some 37 mon through their first drill of the scd- son at Baker Field.
 Given the man-power, Columbia hopes for somethirg of a gridiron renaissance this year as no effort las been spared to give the team the benefit of experienced and com petont master -minding. Since last year Ed Walker of Stanford has been obtained to imbue the line with some of the mobility and power that Charactorizes tho forward walls of the old fox, Pop Warner. while Milk" Hanlcy has been brought from Northwestern to take charge of the hackfeld men.
 In addition to these worthy rep roscntatives Of far western and mid dlc football thought, Crowley has Hiss Price, Columbia tackle of about four years ago. to help Walker with the linesmen, and Ray Wagner, an- other former star at Columbia. 10 specialize in coaching the ends. Crowley himself will have lot 10 do with producing capable wingmon as this was the position he used to play at Harvard and later at Notre Dame, where his runnin% mate was none other than knute Rockne.
 Headed by the promising sopho- rcrc triple threat, Ralph Hewitt. some first class material is starting the long grind of tWo-a-day drills. With Hewitt at halfback, Charley Joyce of Buffalo N. Y, another sophomore at halfbaCk and tive varsity veterans. Scott, halfback and Stanczyk, tullback, Crowley has a potential first string hacl<ticld which he hopes will rate with any in th" east.
 Competing with these four for positions will ho Phil Iiflander pint sized quarterback of last year; Brl Puser from whom Hewitt will prop ably win the bunting assignment; and w. II. Allan, sophomore from North TonaWanda, N, Y, who playe1 guard for the freshmen last year but is slated to perform in the backfield where he made a name as a school boy. Carlstcn. Sheridan. Bradley and Hamilton are other potentill varsity backs.
 In the line Jim Campbell, center; | Captain Nal Blocckcr and Remy 1 Tvs, tack os; Fly Ashman guard, and Fritz rostigan of Boston, end hay" q tight hold on the bcrthS they filled lasl season although MacDutfer stroke of the freshman crew, ami two other big boys-Banko and Di Rlas;- are tackles of cOnsiderabt" pron,ise Hill, a second stringer last season, and Spencer, a sophomore" are the iCadIng contcnders for the |Nacant end position; while Nobilett, lapar and Weinstock, sOphs, an 1 Canal. a former substitute, all have a chance for guard.
 Crowley and his aides forese" plenty of need for all their rescrv" material in view of the schedu.2 mapped out for the lions. After the early games with Middlebury. Union and Wesleyan, Columbia is to tackle { Dartn outh, Williams, Cornell Coi- gate, P4rnsyIvana and Syracuse, the hardest set of opponents encountertd d by a Mornngside eleven in 30 years.
