...first game of the season is with M.I.T. on December 15; the Engineers are not expected to furnish particularly stiff opposition, but the Crimson skaters will have a real test when they meet McGill on December 17 at the Garden...
...Linda, especially in act two; towards the last, however, her whining insistence became irritating. John Court '35 in the role of Nick Potter gave an admirable performance and Richard Sullivan '35 did a good piece of work as the drunken and disillusioned brother.

Wearing always a low stiff collar and an oldtime high-cut jacket, he carries like all good Bostonians a green bookbag, is always accompanied by "Phantom," a blind old spaniel that has to be guided across busy streets by the crook of Dr. Lowell's cane. Harvardmen know that their "Prexy" is rich, resolute...
