...Duke of Grafton, Miss Mary Philippa Gary, niece of Viscount Falkland. Since Britain is bent on making this a democratic war, privates in uniform did not have to stay off the dance floor, as in 1914-8, twirled about the Great Room of the Grosvenor on a social par with their officers. With healthy appetites, debs and escorts gobbled large slices of the vast cake when it was finally and solemnly cut by the five hostesses, but of whoopee there was almost none and only moderate quaffing of champagne...

The tie with Yale was not necessarily a letdown for the Tigers; the Elis have been dogged with costly injuries throughout the first part of their schedule, and their opponents have...
