...Crimson rugby team opens its fall season against Princeton this morning at 10:30 a.m. on the House Football Field. Lighter, faster, and more experienced, Harvard is favored over a Tiger team weakened by mass graduations and a number of backfield injuries...
...Harvard-Boston College game would be a natural rivalry, one that could match Princeton and Yale for spectator interest and fill the Stadium to its 40,000 capacity.

As a royal equerry and deputy master of King George VI's household (appointed in 1944 when Margaret was only 14), he had the constant duty of accompanying the royal family in all its lighter moments. Group Captain Townsend rode with the princesses, escorted Margaret to parties, flew her planes in air races, played canasta with the Queen, and by royal command enlivened many a gathering at Sandringham or Balmoral with his quick wit and boyish charm. He was, moreover, a securely married...
