...Jayvee steamroller, which has crushed six straight victims, faces what should be number seven in Leicester Junior College, a nine that should pose no obstacle for Lloyd Harper's forces. Ironically enough, a weak Freshman outfit battles a Dartmouth 1951 squad that will give it considerable trouble and might well take it for its fifth straight loss...
Today may well be one of those days. The Big Red rolled into town yesterday morning with three powerful boatloads ready and willing to mar Harvard's home opener. At the Varsity level, Sanford's charges pose a formidable threat to an unblemished crew season...

Signature would have done better if they tried to obtain local writer-teachers such as Albert Guerard or John Ciardi to give...
