...Nassau look a trific weary today there may be more behind the halting step and the glassy eye than the effects of gazing upon Yankee Boston or the defeat at the hands of Penn last week. For the grand old Tiger tradition of the "dink" wars and the "cane spree" had a bloody post-war renaissance last week and the Princeton Freshmen and Sophomores are still counting their bruises...

Tidal waters flooded Louisiana's bayou country. New Orleans got a day-long battering which left it a-clutter with twisted autos, broken power lines, shattered windows...
