Even if all three lose, Harvard can recoup by picking up points where Penn is weak. That means especially at 147 (where Brian Conley tackles the Quakers' Tom McMahon), 157 (where Junior Jack Mamana faces winless Burt O'Donnell), 167 (where Captain Fred Pereira can beat just about anybody), and 177 (where sophomore Lamar Fertig takes on Penn's Jerry Gates...
What worries New York newspaper executives is the fact that circulation and advertising losses will be harder to recoup during the traditionally lean summer.

His Derby loss was the first of his career, and it might have been attributable to a surprisingly poor ride by Willie Shoemaker. Three times during the race "Shoe" got Candy Spots into a tight squeeze where he had to be checked, and this might have thrown the California colt off enough to cost him the victory...
