Our fellow columnist, in his locker-room ballad of Dartmouth reported the Crimson lads swimming in Hanover during the Carnival, were all offering even money. But we've not seen any of that money come out of Boston. And right here we'd like to put in our bid for some of that loose-flying Crimson coin...
