Perhaps the best part about the triangular meet from the Crimson point of view was the uncovering of several "dark horses", who before it had had no reputation as runners and had not been considered among the possible point-winners...
Midsummer lassitude has settled on Boston already. Three of the leading theatres are "dark", with no immediate prospect of reopening the Hollis, ye Wilbur, and the Shubert. In another week the Copley will close its doors, perhaps forever. The Stuart Street extension seems to be a settled doom, and what is to become of the Jewetts remains a riddle.
