...Lipsett, Inc. arranged for nine other tugs and a Coast Guard cutter for the trip to the graveyard, Newark, spurred by all the publicity it was getting, appealed to retired Admiral Halsey, a New Jersey native, for advice. "Bull" Halsey, a carrier man, who did not have much use for battleships anyhow, replied: "I don't known a damn thing about patrolling channels." The London News Chronicle joined the fun. It cabled to find out if a revolution was impending. Replied Newark: "Let there be no dancing in the streets of London. This is no civil...
...dawn departure yesterday with his 38-man squad, Harlow looked around at his four assistant coaches and observed: "A fellow's idea of a good time used to be to get out there four days a week and scrimmage, and then hit a guy in another color jersey on Saturday."

It costs about $12,000, may save much more on the barges that shuttle freight cars between New Jersey and the docks of Brooklyn and Manhattan. The New Haven and the Pennsylvania figure that radars on their 51 tugs may save $50-100,000 every foggy...
Neither the betting fraternity of New Jersey nor the urchins in the Square give Dick Harlow's gridiron machine much prospect when it rolls on Soldiers Field against Brown's polished 1947 eleven this afternoon at 2 o'clock before an estimated 15,000 fans. Judging from the gloomy record, the Crimson is not loaded for the kind of Bruin that invades Cambridge today looking for Brown's eighth win in 46 tries against Harvard...
