Last week, when the returns were in, the committee found that 1949's "Miss Quonset Point" was Mrs. Eva Clausen, who sweeps up in the huge Overhaul and Repair shop. Mrs. Clauson is 43, the wife of a disabled World War I veteran, mother of five children, and plain. But every worker in the 0. & R. shop knows Eva. She listens to their troubles, smiles at their jokes. Bluejackets and civilian workmen call her "Olive Oyl." And some 500 of them voted...

There was no lack of organization, fight, or ability in the Governor Dummer team. The Crimson just won, and then by a bare hair. If credits should go to any one player it would go to big attack player Ned Yost and his huge stick. Yost plays crease, and he ran up his four point score with his defenseman's stick, which is longer than normal for an attack player. Yost catches the ball high in the air and uses his extra leverage to slam the ball into the net with a speed most opposing defensemen decry...
