From massive, blue-eyed Latvians to small, slant-eyed Mongols, some 1,300 members of the Supreme Soviet gathered in Moscow last week. In four smoothly regulated days they met, heard speeches from delegates picked in advance, approved almost without change a 1946 budget that was already 80% spent, and adjourned.

Tom Gannon whose 66-yard dash for the second Harvard touchdown was a dazzling sprint on a reverse from the T, enjoyed an especially good day, gaining 128 yards in 13 carries.

It is in this group that he may lose his serial-number status for awhile, and, like the unhurried freshmen of 1846, reconstruct...
