Said Commissioner John S. Battle, onetime (1950-54) Governor of Virginia and a leading advocate of segregation in public schools: "I fear the officials of Alabama and certain counties made an error in doing that which appears to be an attempt to cover up their actions . . .

After that, every Durelle lunge seemed to land on an elbow or a hunched shoulder. Archie flicked jabs, pumped rights, and suddenly it was Durelle's head that snapped back after every flurry...
With only one man gone from a team that had a 5-4-1 record and with several fine sophomore prospects, the Crimson figures as one of the best squads in the Ivy League, behind Cornell.
