Nobody contends that Harvard's 1939 eleven will go down in history as a world beater. Nobody who saw Saturday's game would predict a Rose Rowl bid for the Crimson forces. In fact nearly everybody feels we have, at beat. a "just fair" team. .... And bud to relate, those nobodies and everybodies are right...
Bucker Ben Smith and the fast-coming Joe Gardella (who should see plenty of action especially to bolster the backfield defense) will try to keep the spinning offense at the kind of past when they were ripping through the Army line.

Now married to an adventurous, pretty, 29-year-old Englishwoman, he remembers his first wife (Isak Dinesen) for one incident, when she flew unarmed at two lions that had attacked an ox, lashed them into the jungle with a stock whip...
