...Bridges and highway junctions were barricaded and guarded. State patrolmen scooted up & down all main roads. A National Guard plane, fitted with a two-way radio and a machine gun, was sent from St. Louis.

Occupying as we do a sort of midway station between the two, our inclinations are not equally divided between the Tiger and the Crimson as would seem natural, but bear a slight twinge to the northward. Whether or not he will admit it, the average Yale undergraduate would rather be locked in an igloo for the winter with a Cantab than a Princetonian for all his smoothness (a term which, by the way, has lost some of its former snap). He might not understand the "indifference...
