    LOU LITTLE PULLS0t ANNUAL SURPRISE Columbia Beats Dartmouth, 13-7-Barabas Marbles Sweet Swan Song. u 0y bAC AoSONAdbco EAcoSs n IEW YORK, November 30 nj Lou Little came up with his “ annual foot ball surprise today when his smartly coached Co lumbia Lions wound up their foot ball season with surprising l3-to-7 upset over Dartmouth’s big Indians before 10000 half-frozen spectators at Baker Field. The feet-footed Al BarabaS, sing ing his swan song as a Columbia gridder, led the way as the Lions out played Dartmouth in every depart ment to salvage something from the most disappointing season a Columbia team has known since Little assumed command on Morningside Heights. BarabaS’ fine passing sent the Lions roaring to a touchdown in the first. Dartmouth evened the count in the second, but Columbia again took the lead in the fourth on a 62-yard gall lop down the field by Joe Vollmer, husky junior back. Passes were the chief factor in the Dartmouth score. Lions Outrush Enemy, COLUMBIA outrushed Dartmouth - 220 yards to l26. In the air the honors were about even, with the Lions completing four out of ten heaves for a gain of so yards and Dartmouth making z out of % count for the same total. The Lions showed surprising detense for Dartmouth’s much ballyhooed overhead game. Ed Chamber lain hurled them in all directions but Barabas and Oscar Bonom usually were waiting to break them up. Throughout almost the entire last half Columbia stopped the Green cold, both on the ground and in the air. Line IDS and SlImmarv.
