Columbia's gridiron stalwarte must have taken a spanking at the hands of Brown footballers. At least, that's the illusion created by this picture, which was snapped as the Columbia line wavarad before a Gerce Brown onslaught and Fullback Cammino (third from left) pounded his way through the Lione defence for a short gein.
