Harvard got its shots, but they were too often from bad angles, and the passing wasn't as crisp as the team would have liked...
...David's Overcamp and Gammons, is painted in a delicate cousin of Pepto-Bismol pink, and follows the carefully upholstered chintz precedent set by "The Philadelphia Story" this spring.
