...Crimson will be hampered by other injuries to key personnel. Center halfback Bill Rapp has a severe charley-horse, but he will probably start. Fullback Lanny Keyes' badly bruised instep should not keep him out of the contest, and John Mudd and Tadgh Sweeney--the first-line insides--may be bothered considerably by ankle ailments...

He was eloquent in praise of the roast duckling, the apple tart, the port-touched Stilton.
