...quarter when a long-haired child bearing much resemblance to a draft-dodger tossed a lucky pass to another of his ilk; the same thing unaccountably happened again in the third quarter. Meanwhile, the CRIMSON tacked on a disputed safety which the Niemans have threatened to refer to Dean Ernest May for adjudication (ed. note: Dean May, through a spokesman, said the matter would be referred to six committees, a Faculty Club vote, and the class...
