Columbia Bubble Is Still Standing

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Columbia's bubble is inflated. and the Lions had their first track meet there when they hosted Lafayette over the weekend.

Columbia erected the facility. which is very similar to Harvard's at the end of 1968. Winds pulled up some of the anchors though. so the bubble had to be deflated. After it was blown up again, a heavy wind blew in from the Harlem River and collapsed the bubble. The fabric was torn by support poles.

Snow buried what was left of the structure, and after the snow melted. the manufacturer took the fabric back to its plant in Delaware to repair it.

Up at Last

There have been no such problems this year, and Columbia's track team was apparently so inspired that it won the meet Saturday, 56-52, to break a streak of 20 consecutive losses. It was also a nice reward for coach Dick Mason, who is retiring in two weeks after 17 years at Columbia.
