...inclinations are not equally divided between the Tiger and the Crimson as would seem natural, but bear a slight twinge to the northward. Whether or not he will admit it, the average Yale undergraduate would rather be locked in an igloo for the winter with a Cantab than a Princetonian for all his smoothness (a term which, by the way, has lost some of its former snap). He might not understand the "indifference" of the Harvard man, but he would get goddam sick and tired of hearing about the nifty third sax in Cab Casa Loma's orchestra...
Aside from Hallowell in the half mile, Lovelock in the mile and Mabey in the two mile, the invaders should find first places hard to capture. E. E. Calvin '33, and Walsh and Lane of Yale ought to take the sprints over Cantab and Davis. Keith Brown is due to win the pole vault and high jump and the crack Kari Warner the quarter. J. H.

Here was work for J. A. Brown. His beautiful steering helped bring Cambridge, rowing smoothly, almost abreast. The Oxford-heavies tried a spurt. At the mile the bows were dead even. Without hitting it up, the smooth-stroking Cantabs drew ahead, pricking Oxford to a fresh spurt that shot...
