dominance never was pronounced

No player off color in this respect can
make his team.
From that point he also is master
OF the art of injecting smartness and
alertness into squad. This is pos
sible only when team is fundamen-
tally equipped to do its stuff. No coach
can give smartness to a team which
has no firm foundation on which to
stand.
Columbia had that-a1 of that-the
foundation, the smartness-and the
finest possible spirit needed to meet an
emergency under heavy fire, and go
the route.
The year 1888 overthrew almost every
champion; 1888 was replete with thrills.
But 1884 opened its campaign with a
thriller which will be hard to over
shadow before we celebrate-those who
are left-the passing of another year.

the correspondence that rolled in had
something of vitriolic glow.
Part of it smoked through the incloS-

Foot ball correspondents can get that

AS it happened, Columbia's first-team
strength outplayed Stanford's starting
lineup, with the Lion clawing and rip

greater part of the first two quarters.
It required no magical touch OF
soothsaying to make this prediction. A
team coached by Lou Little always car

always has fast, hard-charging, ag-
gressive line-a stout defense all the
way.
And Lou Little attack also has its
full share of deception.
This Columbia team, up to its playing

team in every respect.
1t had brains, gameness, smartness

Although nc dividends were declared,

a result of the Nationals victory in

felt being reduced and the clubs bond

While no announcement to the effect
was made, few members of the 1884
