...Puerto Rico, had held hundreds of local meetings involving parents and teachers, farmers and bankers, school officials and even governors (TIME, Sept. 12). From most states had come voluminous reports crammed with facts and figures that seemed to indicate a crisis in the nation's schools. But in spite of all good intentions, the conference's opening was not without some preliminary bickering...
...spite of these misfortunes and a decided lack of height Coach Floyd Wilson has more than a few reason for looking forward to at least some improvement over last year's six and seventeen record.

His in-spite-of-the-snow pitches to quarterback Joe Crehore, one of the most improved players on the team, provided at least a small boost to Harvard pride, already dampened by cold, snow, and the Yale team...
