After Dartmouth's second touch-down, everyone realized that only a series of football miracles could save Harvard. In place of a miracle, a deluge of Biblical proportions arrived, crowning out all memories of last year's Army mud festival. A solid sheet of water covered the midfield area and rapidly gained sufficient depth to actually float the ball in places. Every play looked more like an outboard motor race than a football game, and when the backs were tackled they stirred up impressive "bow waves" as they skidded to a stop. And simultaneous with the appearance of white-caps...
...Wahoo wahoos" from one end of the field marked the spot where a Jayvee eleven was putting on the Dartmouth plays for Varsity inspection. Working from a single wingback formation, the Indians usually go on the warpath with a solid phalanx of blockers blazing the trail, and the coaches are busy devising strategy to keep MacLeod from breaking loose and at the same time not leave the secondary open to the best aerial attack Dartmouth has had since the advent of Coach Blaik.

Photo-Facts considered useful such stories as "White Man Westward" (Lewis & Clark), "Termite Menace," "Poe's Great Balloon Hoax," "Football From Pagan Rites." Added fillip was its "Newsstand University" section in which Dale Carnegie again bobbed up, this time with "Putting Yourself Across": typical Carnegie...
...parietal rules, or whose term bill for last June remains unpaid, University Hall is not a pleasant place to visit. But, to those in good standing, or with an honest desire to regain good standing, University Hall and the deans therein might be likened to an oasis of solid advice beckoning to the bewildered or negligent who flounder in scholarly quicksand...
