Clemson would meet Boston College in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Day. Clemson tied with Duke for the Southern Conference championship, with one no-conference defeat on its record, a 7 to 6 loss to Tulane. Duquesne today rejected the bowl...
Last year at this time Coach Harold Sylvadore Ulen of the Varsity swimming squad was bemoaning the loss by graduation of the greatest team in Harvard aquatic history--the 1938 League Champions who in many ways rated the title of "the best dual meet team in the country." This year Hal's problem is different, for of last season's tankmen only Captain Rusty Greenhood, Harley Stowell, and Phil Walker have departed with the Class of '39. What he has left is a nucleus of experienced Seniors and Juniors, and a horde of Sophomores who make up in spirit...
...remote and nebulous, the fate of 16,697-ton Rawalpindi was definite. This ship, a fast Peninsular & Oriental steamer requisitioned by the Royal Navy and armed as a merchant cruiser, was assigned to the North Atlantic contraband patrol.

...Harmon & Co., with the aid of Old 83 ("a sort of psychic double cross" play originally concocted by Fielding Yost for his point-a-minute teams), outsmart Ohio State's pow erful machine that had been beaten only once this season (by Cornell). Despite last week's loss (21-to-14), Ohio State finished in front in the Big Ten race (with five Conference victories, one defeat), nosed out Iowa's Iron Men who, unable to do more than tie Northwestern last week (7-to-7), wound up in second place with four victories, one defeat...
