...could have started and won games at many other colleges, a legacy encouraging victories this year. Cornell is strong all over, especially in the backfield. Both teams could win; the Summer News will pick Cornell over Yale, however, even though the temptation is the reverse upon recollection of the Casey Stengel-like firing of coach Lefty James at Cornell last winter...
Until the slim-winged Eastern Air Lines Electra was 20 minutes northwest of Miami one sunbright morning last week, the dark, bushy-browed little man in the front seat seemed to be brooding silently on the dangers of flight.

And above all, there was the matchless mature poetry of Yeats himself, not popular balladry as he had hoped, not mythic, mysterious and magical as he had planned, but lucid, passionate, realistic, masterly and, at its finest, universal...
