Perhaps the most damaging repercussion of all will be the sheer volume of people antagonized by the Bingham statement. Harold Stassen and the University of Pennsylvania are answering the alledged slur on their athletic purity. The Yale A. A. released a calm but firm reply to the statement that the Big Three contests didn't mean much any more. No doubt, Princeton, as the holder of the last three titles, will also take umbrage at this charge from the Big Three's cellar-dweller.

This article has not been written because of outside pressure; it has been written because of the authors' conviction that the current complaints over Harvard football can hurt the wrong people.

...Angeles' Biltmore Hotel was rife last week with the easy slur of Southern accents. In the haze from their cigars, big cottonmen from the South gleefully watched pretty models step in & out of cotton garments, parade cotton bathing suits, evening gowns and house dresses nimbly converted from cotton feed bags. The National Cotton Council, for the first time since it was formed in 1938, was holding its annual convention in California...
