...hard to say just what approach Cornell will take. Last week against Columbia Tom Harp did some more experimenting with Wood at halfback, and the results were quite successful. Marty Sponaugle seems to have mastered several plays and appears to be an adequate quarterback. Wood, who is best at running, gets better opportunities when he doesn't have to handle the snap. He doesn't like passing all that much anyway...
...Harp's teams have a tendency to be erratic, and it may well be that they are due for an afternoon of astounding yardage. Cornell in this...
...megalithic set of steps and blocks that are easily moved on rollers, and has designed a handsome wardrobe of costumes.

"The people living in this area are Laos; those who live beyond Korat are Thais." Communism is never mentioned; instead, the Reds constantly harp on the theme that the government has wilfully neglected the northeast, promise villagers a salary of $150 a month (v. Thailand's per capita income of $105 a year) if they will join forces with the Laotian Reds...
