...endure and are worth while in life are done openly, not secretly. Harvard wins some years and Yale some years, and in looking back, what difference does it really make whether we win or lose, as compared with the combined pleasure of all Harvard graduates and undergraduates during the autumn football season? Should such great athletes in Harvard rowing as Gerry Cassedy, Bob Saltonstall, Mac Bancroft, and Benny Bacon ever be debarred from seeing Harvard football teams practice when they, themselves, rowing, cannot see sports in other seasons of the year...

They saw Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt ("Sonny") Whitney's chestnut gelding Blot win the main event, the Manhasset Steeplechase, by a half-length. They saw Winston Guest astride Lady Newberry win a thunderous race for polo ponies after his cousin Mike Phipps fell from a slipping saddle in the stretch. But what they enjoyed most, and what many of them had come specially to see, was the four-furlong...
