...game's fast pace was evident from the very start. Higginbottom, with an assist by Fischer, stuffed the first Crimson goal past Michel with only 42 seconds gone, the only time Harvard led in the entire contest. Second liner Lance Odden, high scorer for Princeton with two goals, scored only 50 seconds later...
...overcome a long series of obstacles, foremost among whom was the brilliant defending champion, Henri Salaun of Boston. Salaun is one of the very finest players in the world, probably second only to the Khan's of Pakistan at present, and has always stopped Heckscher's ambitions in the past.

A yellow parrot named Jethroe screeches, whistles and squawks "There's a girl" whenever Mamma glides past in skintight velvet pants. A hefty brother-in-law lounges around listening to a recording of rock 'n' roll music that he composes himself. Through it all, Johnny Cash, head of the household, relaxes in pointy Italian-leather loafers, and practices a fast draw with his Colt...
