Those are the bare facts, but as I followed Francis around the coffee circuit which is the backbone of local politics, it became clear that what looked good on paper was better in person. I suppose the word is smooth, or polished, but he really isn't. What he is is good with a wide range of people. From the eighty year old ladies on Brattle Street to the young blacks in the city he has a feeling for what people respond to and he gives it to them...
...Marinaro's return to the Cornell lineup. Since Columbia is allowing about 240 yards per game on the ground. I would guess that the Big Red would take advantage of this weakness. And the game is in Ithaca-a definite factor. Then again. Columbia is starting to look better. Rutgers beat the Lions only 21-14, on a last-minute touchdown, no less. Coach Frank Navarro said he'd make changes after getting bombed by Yale, and apparently. he has made two good ones. John Sefeik. a 156 pound sophomore, gained almost 175 yards last week, and Bill Flynn...
PRINCETON-BROWN: After just wasting all that space on such a bomb of a game. I'd better start being more concise. Brown is certainly a team to be pitied. It's a team built right along the lines of your basic Greek tragic hero. Everything has gone wrong, not to mention the fact that the Bruins have lost four games in five attempts. Despite outplaying Colgate, they lost, 20-6. But Princeton. N. J., a suburb of Trenton, is a town without pity in the Gene Pitney tradition. And that's where today's game is being played...
YALE-DARTMOUTH: One of the bigger games this wonderful day. I could pick Yale, or I could pick Dartmouth. Let's look at the facts for lack of anything better to do. The Indian's rushing average is almost the highest in the nation. But Yale is one of the most effective teams against the rush. Yale's offense is coming fast, but getting through the Big Green offense is no easy task. I think Dartmouth will have to show a little better passing attack than it did against Harvard, and if it does, the Elis could really get stung...
...just too rude to awaken. This was supposed to be a big game, but now it's a battle of also-rans. Today's American Bandstand has been sold out for weeks, but there's still lots of room at Franklin Field. Let us just say that Harvard had better win, or else, as is the case with the Shangri-Las, John Yovicsin can never go home anymore. Crimson...
