...then, the JV's haven't done much scoring under any circumstances this year and they haven't done badly nonetheless. In their last two games they scored on a pass interception to heat Princeton 7-3 and tackled Penn's punter in the end zone for a 2-0 victory.

Some businessmen refuse to cool offices for fear salesmen will not venture out; since Asians assume that a closed door means an absent merchant, others suffer the high cost of keeping their air conditioners on and their doors open. The biggest inconvenience is that many offices, for reasons of prestige, are kept so frigid that Oriental secretaries have to wear a couple...
