...private preserve breaks no Connecticut law. And, anyway, the Connecticut Legislature, so soon as it heard what was going on, passed a special act empowering Governor Trumbull to issue special complimentary licenses to his prospective son-in-law's father or any other distinguished guest who may drop into the State. With Citizen Coolidge in the news appeared a new figure-John Brukowski, 22, dark of hair and eye, tight of lip. For several years John drove a car for Miss Ruth Cooper of Smith College's English Department. Miss Cooper went to Europe. John was jobless when...

The splendid isolation in which the football men work out prevents any free and easy familiarity with the team and rightly or wrongly heightens the atmosphere of cold commercialism which hangs always so heavily over the gridiron.
