Businessmen might not like the results but they at least knew now what they were in for. A closer contest, a stronger minority in Congress, might have left room for doubt. While a few soothsayers remained to croak, "Just wait till two years from now," the majority of Wall Street jumped straight aboard the Roosevelt landslide, ready to ride it while the riding was good...

Coach Crisler falls to share the sanguine confidence of his players. His scouts have called Harvard 50 per cent stronger on the offensive and equal on the defensive to last year's Crimson eleven; he is fighting desperately with his charges to avoid a let-down after the grueling contests with Penn and Navy.
