The crew-cut Eli was offering seven points. Vag hadn't yet received his clippings from home on the Harvard-Brown game. Maybe Clasby wouldn't even play against Yale tomorrow. Vag was still pondering Clasby's fate as he pulled out 400 yen. He really ought to make it an even bet just to show his contempt for all old Blues. But Vag figured he might just...
