...House game last Saturday, ending in a scoreless tie. At Yale, College residents on probation are allowed to represent their Colleges, even in the championship contests against the Harvard Houses. This provision has resulted in a strange comedy of errors this fall, with Harvard coyly dickering with Yale to repeal a rule which didn't exist in New Haven...

The better to hear the suits, aging Henri Schueg, son-in-law of the founding Facundo Bacardi and present head of the House, journeyed to Manhattan last month. Last week shrewd old Henri Schueg announced that he had at last found a suitable suitor-the importing subsidiary of Schenley Distillers Corp. Most...
