Whatever the Crimson accomplished in the first game disappeared in the next one. Led by the one-man offensive attack of Roland Olsen, the Huskies jumped out to an early 7-1 lead and threatened to the tie the match. Harvard, however, embarked on a 11-1 run to surge ahead...
...money supply to promote economic growth.

Goodbye, Charlie Brown, and hello, Jimmy Olsen. No, Superman's pal Jimmy is not taking Charlie's place in Peanuts. Rather, James Olson, 60, was last week named the new chief executive of AT&T, succeeding Charles Brown, 64, who will retire. "The new AT&T is confidently launched on its new course," said Brown. Declared Olson: "Never have I been more challenged...
