Dudley's social atmosphere was called "very gregarious," "jovial and merry," but also "rowdy," "lowbrow, unattractive," and "high-schoolish." The story is told about a Social Committee meeting some years ago which was voting on whether to accept the residential inter-House ticket for the Dudley dance. "No," said one commuter firmly, "we don't want those Ivy Leaguers at our party." Staff members took that as a danger signal, and commuters are now accepting more fully the social norms of their classmates--including ties and jackets in the dining hall...
...line. Layne laughed out loud at such manhandling. He was having the time of his life. "They're a wild bunch," says one of their opponents, "but they have an esprit de corps which most coaches in the league feel keeps them on top. It sounds sorta high-schoolish but in that play-off game for the championship last year, the Browns were ahead, 16-10, there were only a couple of minutes left to play, and the Lions had 80 yards or something to go for the winning touchdown.

A fullback as a freshman, Mathias has played sparingly on offense this season, but has a nine yard average for eight carries.

Fry, who boots the extra points, is a hard worker, and Boyle, who weighs 190 pounds is big and tough. Yet they have made high schoolish mistakes this year, getting crossed on simple pass patterns. Doug Melville, a sophomore who still has a lot to learn, will play safety...
...Harvard linement to "take it easy," Dean Academy showed nothing. Just how it got on the schedule is somewhat of a mystery. An unfortunate one, too, for Shepard's team would have benefitted more from an intra-squad scrimmage. As it was, the team completely slacked, made high-schoolish mistakes, and won easily...
