Harvard opens today against Springfield, which does not appear to be overly formidable. The Crimson swamped the Chiefs 61-34 and 73-40 in the last two meets, and Springfield is not appreciably improved this season after losing backstroke champion Steve Olson and Dave Hart, winner of the New England freestyle...
...same kind of confusion hits several other pieces. Chris Hart's "Jumping John" is a nice little parody of the modern-sordid school of writing, but like James Dickson's "The Modigliani Face," it relies for its humor on the dubious assumption that any real-life trend will be funny if exaggerated enough.
