Among the former pupils of the Harlow system who visited the Varsity locker room to congratulate the winning eleven were former ends Bill Barnes and Loren Mackinney, and Gordy Lyle, who brought grief to the Princeton cause in 1942 when he snatched a pass from Jack Comerford with less than a minute to play and scored a touchdown which gave Harvard a 19 to 14 victory...

Franklin Roosevelt's decision would have to be formulated into a command, for neither Frank Walker nor any other Democrat wanted the job.

Another first occurred with the announcement that Captain Don Forte will start at right end, in all probability, in his initial appearance this season. Cleo O'Donnell is expected to open at wingback, while Jack Comerford is slated for tailback. The Johnson-Cowen feud for the fullback slot has not been settled, but if Swede Anderson is in shape, he will receive the blocking assignment. Otherwise, Hank Geothals is figured to be the leading choice...
