Witnessing the workout was Bob Green, Varsity end from 1936 to 1938 and Crimson captain in his Senior year. As a member of the '37 team, which Harlow rates as one of his most successful, Green enjoyed the distinction of beating Yale and Clint Frank...
Just as Soapman Charles Luckman's high-powered voluntary save-food campaign was all fueled up and ready to go, Secretary of Agriculture Clint Anderson clomped a heavy foot on the brake. At a press conference in Chicago, tactless Clint Anderson casually dismissed meatless Tuesdays and eggless Thursdays as just "symbols of sacrifice." They were not intended "primarily to save food themselves," he said, but "to get the public in the frame of mind to conserve food." It was "like going to church on Sunday. . . . It's a reminder...

It looked as if Clint Anderson's program would get some strong hoeing in Congress before it grows into anything worthwhile...
