...Crimson (1-2 in the Ivy and 1-4 overall) enters today's contest in the best physical shape since the opener, with junior offensive tackle Mike Durgin--out the past three games--returning to shore up the line. The Notebook: Senior split end Rich Horner has opened a huge lead as the Ivy League's premier receiver. His 18 catches and 281 yds, top the number two man. Brown's Mark Farnham, by six snares and 126 yds.... Harvard punter Duke Millard is tied with Dartmouth's Larry Margerum for the Ivy lead in yards per kicks with...

It's not that difficult, because private parties are untouched by the rules, and in at least one House, the happy hours are being served there. And post-football game celebrations, invariably sanctioned by masters, draw crowds to huge House celebrations: Dunster's "zorbels" (otherwise known as a punch powerful enough to flatten Ali), a hot cider and rum at Winthrop and a BYOB bask at Mather.

The story has its startling, bizarre touches: Gilmore's father, it seems, was the illegitimate son of Houdini. Gilmore himself remains a punk, though a moderately interesting one. He spent more than half of his life in jail, and, like other intelligent prisoners, had a routine. He could con intellectuals and other innocents on the outside who tend to be fascinated by violent criminals-literate ones-in the same way that Gladstone was fascinated by prostitutes. Gilmore used...
