...field of six excellent runners will clash in the mile. The Big Red's Chuck Hill has a 4:13.3 clocking to his credit, and Penn's Ernest Tracy and John Jerbasi have both broken 4:20. Against these coach Bill McCurdy will send Dyke Benjamin, who ran 4:15.6 against Army; Jed Fitzgerald, who defeated his teammate in a 4:16.2 race a week ago, and Fred Howard, a 4:21 miler.

When Ulysses comes home at last, his Penelope is so stunned at the sight of him that she can only shake his hand and stutter civilities. "Was Dienbienphu awful?" "Yes. Toward the end of the siege we ran out of wine." "That must have been awful." "Yes." A honeymoon breaks the ice, but the relationship refreezes when the marchioness discovers that her marquis keeps a woman on the side, and maintains any number of "little 5-to-7" friendships. From this point the comedy evolves into an earnest lecture, delivered by the marquis' uncle (Maurice Chevalier), on the merits...
