...Captain Joe Noble and ex-captain Bob Foster remained undefeated for the Crimson, winning easily over their F & M opponents. Noble, at 157, outclassed Skip Taylor and came up with a 4-0 decision. Wrestling at 177, Foster routed Ed Keyser by a 13-1 count, and might have pinned his man had the match run half a minute longer...
Eagle Coach Snook Kelley indicated that two of his starters and a second line wing were ailing, but would probably play. High scoring center Bill Daley was weak after suffering an infected tooth, and Captain Joe Jangro said he would start at his right defense position in spite of a bruised arm. The other starters are goalie Jim Logue, who turned away 31 of 32 shots against Harvard in the opener, sophomore defenseman Tom Martin, and forwards Ron Walsh and Owen Hughes...
...seems clear that the caucus vote split along pro-Martin versus anti-Martin lines, rather than pro-Martin versus pro-Halleck. This is not to say that Joe Martin has a raft of political enemies; on the contrary he has made an extraordinary number of personal friends on both sides of the aisle.

The question then became, who should take Martin's place. This was a thorny issue, for the ranks of the insurgents were widely split. The young liberal Republicans favored a man like Gerald R. Ford Jr. of Michigan or the more experienced Richard M. Simpson of Pennsylvania. The arch-conservatives tended toward John W. Byrnes of Wisconsin (who later came out for Halleck and was made chairman of the Republican Policy Committee...
These and other Republicans may soon regret the haste with which they deposed Joe Martin. He might well have been willing to work closely with a younger man for a year and then step down in his favor, had not such a course seemed to involve an ignominious surrender to Halleck, who has been bucking uppishly for Martin's job for the last two terms. This would have avoided Tuesday's outbreak of intra-party bitterness, which will be remembered if only by the pathos of Joe Martin's defeated smile...
