...Future-Fan. That maiden attempt, though not terribly encouraging, was an echo from three decades ago, when Day-Lewis and the rest of the famous Oxford circle (W. H. Auden, Louis MacNeice, Stephen Spender) rumbled with even louder social comment. Like other "horizon-addicts and future-fans" of his time, Day-Lewis, in rebellion against his strict curate father, flirted briefly with Communism; he now recalls his stint as a party educator as "a signal instance of the blind leading the shortsighted."

Harvard players had hopes of edging the Terriers for the first time in eight games, but not even the most optimistic fan dreamed the Crimson would humble the B.U. defense with eight gorgeous goals. Boston College on Saturday should prove as tough an opponent, and Cornell on the 18th could be even rougher; but last night's triumph changed the 1967-68 Harvard team from a dark horse to a front runner...
