...avoid the five year struggle for funds which preceded the building of Memorial Church. Out of that struggle, however, came a durable memorial which combines the functional and inspirational to the greatest possible degree.

Columbia completed 18 out of 30 against Harvard; Navy gained 145 of its 200 yards against Cornell in the air. Quarterback Pete Dorset, a 175 pound Junior, will handle the majority of the passing chores for the home team and tailback Jimmy Noonan will do the same for Harvard...
