Ulen has three men working out to fill the gap, Rose Vielman, Dick Wheeler, and Mike Siner. Bob Brown may be able to help next term, but the coach doesn't anticipate enough improvement by any of these men to make the Crimson a strong contender in the breaststroke and the medley relay...
...four have in common, beyond their perfect records and the prospect of one or more men each on 1949's All-America, is coaching power. At Berkeley, California's owlish Coach Lynn ("Pappy") Waldorf admits that it is one of the reasons for the widening gap between football's haves and havenots. In preparation for a game, he asks his scouts three short questions: "How can we win? Where can we gain? What must we stop?"

However, the higher rates aren't having their full effect in narrowing the cost-income gap because enrollments are falling. In Harvard's case the enrollment dip simply reflects the University's decision two years ago to slash war-swollen figures. Many other colleges, however, would like to continue with a bigger students body but can't because fewer and fewer men today have enough money to pay the expensive bill...
