Dig a hole, put my ground sheet in-makes a perfect bath and lie flat on my back in the water reading my post-of such is the Kingdom of Heaven...
Sprinter Doug Pirnie was again Harvard's chief tape-breaker, winning the 220 in 22 seconds flat, his best time of the season; tieing Crusader Charlie Gillis in the century sprint with a 10.1 performance; and anchoring a victorious sprint relay which covered the 440-yards in 43.2.

Until the final O.K. is given by the Chief Executive, however, the convey machinery, which stands ready to roll, cannot be set into motion. And with a flat 67 per cent of the nation opposed to the scheme (Gallup poll figures yesterday), the able politician in the White House doesn't dare to change his mind in public...
