With scarcely a pause for breath, the personnel of four varsity squads are finishing the frenzy of exam period and preparing for potentially crucial contests with Ivy opponents this weekend. The basketball team begins the action against Brown on Friday night at the I.A.B. On Saturday, the swimming team welcomes Cornell to Cambridge while the hockey team travels to Cornell, and the wrestling team to Columbia...
Earlier this year, Harvard best Cornell 8-1, but as Weiland says, "that doesn't mean anything right now." Reportedly, Weiland will continue the "experimental" personnel arrangement which worked so successfully in the Crimson's 6-1 victory over Dartmouth before exam period.

"The 20th Century has never recovered from the effects of Marx and Freud" (V.G.); "but whether this is a good thing or a bad is difficult to say" (A.E.). Now, one might be droll enough...
