Forty-three students of the College will face their biggest hour exam of the semester when the Yale varsity football team visits the Stadium at 1:30 p.m. today. Although the bookies expect the Elis to do one point better, the Crimson's ace scout, Josh Williams, who has discovered some things about Yale unknown even to Jordan Olivar and William Buckley, feels that the varsity...

An old nurse says, "I can hardly expect you to believe this, but until I was sixteen, I had hair just like Miss Pearl's. Yellow hair right down my back, and as fine . . ." In this piece touch is the contact with external force and beauty: the downiness of a dead bird's feathers, a young girl's long blonde hair, warm sunlight...
