Benham Passing Top Threat; Crimson Offense Leads Lions

Columbia's Claude Benham, who will be the chief threat to the Crimson this Saturday, has taken over the Ivy League lead in individual offense and forward passing statistics. Benham, the Lions' scrappy quarterback, has completed 18 of his 35 passes for a total of 263 yards in Columbia's three Ivy games.

The Crimson has a strong advantage in total average number of yards gained per game over Columbia, averaging 356 offensive yards to the Lions' 186.
