...second half, Columbia could have started their mascot Leo de Lion III and it wouldn't have altered the outcome. In a brief flurry, Booker scored three straight buckets for Harvard, and Allen drilled in a straightaway jumper to pull the cagers to within 53-40. The short-lived rally was snuffed when Byrd tipped-toed down the lane to give the Lions a commanding 57-40 lead...
...basketball team won five national small-college championships for the southern Indiana university and this year moved up into the National Collegiate Athletic Association's prestigious Division I.

Hence, the parties concerned created the grey agreement we find looming behind...
Another poem commented on the unpopularity of America's involvement in Southeast Asia by invoking the image of Kilroy, a fictitious mascot of American forces whose name appeared as scrawled graffitti throughout Europe and Korea but who became conspicuous by his absence from Vietnam. "Kilroy is absent without leave from Vietnam," McCarthy read, and the impact of the poem's message moved the audience to applause...
