Once again in the scrambled Ivy League race, the Crimson football team enters a game with a definite chance for the League title. This afternoon at 1:30 in Soldiers Field the varsity, in its most important game to date, takes on a slightly favored Princeton eleven...
Next fall, as part of its $53 million Program, Princeton will open its first "social quadrangle"--a block-square complex of five dormitories (housing from 270 to 300 students), a central dining hall, library and social facility (in place of the traditional eating clubs).
