Depending on the weather, Harvard is either going to beat Dartmouth or clobber Dartmouth this afternoon. On a fast track, we think the Crimson should win by about 24-14. The Indians are very much overrated and have not faced a good team yet. They won't be able to stop Harvard's ground game as Cornell did last week, and some of the surprises John Yovicsin is planning to unveil should enable the Crimson's offense to click well. If it rains, Harvard should romp. The Green's passing attack will not function well, and their propensity for fumbling...
Another factor that militates against the Ivy League pro is pure lack of physical ability. Ivy League players don't have to be as big, as fast, or as quick as those on major college teams. Harvard's largest starter is 224-pound tackle Skip Sviokla; in the pros, he'd face fullbacks who outweighed him by 50 pounds...

Scarcely even looking at the ballots handed them, they rushed them to the boxes as fast as possible for all to see that they could not possibly have had time to be unpatriotic. The result: only two candidates out of nearly a quarter of a million were defeated, and the voters left the regime with about 40,000 more candidates than there were jobs...
...Beard & a Fastball. Maybe it was too easy, too fast. By last week Koufax could not even get excited over the double challenge of pitching the deciding game of the World Series with only two days of rest. "I'll volunteer," he said, "if I get asked." Naturally , he got asked. It was supposed to be Don Drysdale's turn to pitch. Drysdale was a 23-game winner during the season; he had won a Series game, and he was rested. But when the game started, there was Koufax out on the mound. At the start, his curve...
Against the rest of the league, the Harvard team hasn't faced any other phantoms but it has faced a lot of fast distance men. The pattern was the same against Northeastern, Brown, and Columbia-Penn, Hardin finished first or second and the next Harvard runner was sixth or seventh. In the Cornell meet, when Hardin overmatched himself, the first Harvard runner in was Captain Wally Liverance, fourth...
