...most glittering, opulent blowout in the city's history. Four days before Christmas, Car Czar Henry Ford II and wife Anne will play host to some 1,000 guests at the Country Club of Detroit, which will be extensively redecorated, just for the evening, to provide proper dash and elegance for a ball whose theme will be 18th century French. Occasion: the coming-out of their daughter, Debutante Charlotte Ford, 18. The guest roster is a Who's-Really-Who of U.S. business, upper-crust society and showfolk, with a suitable seasoning of European nobility...
Frank Yeomans took the dash in 4.8, and Pat Liles turned in a fine 1:15.3 clocking to win the 600, for two more Crimson firsts. In a race of teammates, the varsity's Gus Schumacher edged Art Cahn in a close 2:19.3 1000.

Harte, an end, had the honor of scoring the first touchdown against the Elis in the Stadium with a 35-yard dash in the first period. Captain and fullback E. W. Mahan tallied four touchdowns to close out a brilliant career...
...final Crimson football practice of the 1959 season ended last night in a dash down a flare-lined aisle outside Dillon Fieldhouse to the accompaniment of the Harvard Band and the hearty applause of a meager huddle of undergraduate well-wishers...
