Opening the golf program for the season, the University golf squad will meet Dartmouth in an informal match on the Charles River Course at Newton Center at 1 o'clock this afternoon. The meet is not a part of the regular golf schedule, but was arranged early this week in connection with the Harvard-Dartmouth football game...
Included in the program is a Chinese fairy tale in which a willow tree goes out of its way to help a princess in distress. The tree bears one banana to appease the wrath of an angry mandarin, and die immediately after accomplishing its errand of mercy...
