...downed Bing Sung of Harvard 6-1 at 130. But three straight shutout decisions gave Harvard a lead it never lost. Tom Gilmore, wrestling 137, for the Crimson stopped Duncan Cocroft 5-0, Howie Durfee defeated Mike Schiffman 4-0 at 147, and 157-pounder Ed Franquemont clobbered John Boyd...
...Ryan for 42 yds. and another TD. Lou Groza boosted the score to 20-0 with his second field goal. In the fourth quarter, Collins added the final fillip-reaching back over his shoulder to pull in another wonderful 41-yd. pass at the 10, shrugging Defensive Halfback Bobby Boyd off his shoulders, staggering into the end zone to make it 27-0. Then, with 26 sec. still showing on the clock, both teams ran for their lives as the exultant Cleveland crowd surged onto the field...
...preparing the 17th volume of Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Editor Boyd reconstructed from scattered documents evidence of Hamiltonian double-dealing so "far indeed beyond the limits of honorable conduct in public office" that Boyd has now rushed out his findings in a separate monograph.

The memorandums he submitted of later meetings, maintains Boyd, were nothing but "gross misrepresentations." Hamilton's indication that the British favored alliance he calls "deliberate distortion," and his notation discrediting the performance of U.S. Minister to London Gouverneur Morris was "libel...
Compromised Dignity. It is Historian Boyd's argument that Hamilton's machinations "compromised the national dignity and the national interest" of the new republic and weakened its hand in the continuing negotiations with Whitehall. Thus, when an Anglo-American agreement finally emerged in 1794, the U.S. secured almost none of the concessions it had sought, including trade reciprocity in the Caribbean. Its signer, Chief Justice John Jay, was hanged in effigy, and the agreement is still known as "Jay's treaty." But Boyd believes that its name, and the effigy, should have been Hamilton...
