Late one afternoon a squadron of British bombers left their North Sea bases and flew toward the German coast. Near Helgo land Bight they sighted, through a thin mist, a German battleship, a cruiser, sev eral destroyers, a submarine. The sub marine opened fire, then submerged. A few minutes later a squadron of Messerschmitt pursuit ships came up. For an exciting half-hour the British were under fire by turns from above and below...
...Russians' overwhelming superiority was slowly being balanced. Italy sent 80 Savoia-Marchettis to Finland and Britain sent 30 Bristol Blenheims. If the sub-zero temperatures and the shortage of daylight did not cripple their effectiveness, the Finns had a good target in Russia's two main supply lines, the Leningrad-Murmansk Railway and the Baltic-White Sea Canal.

The present sub rosa factional fights would largely disappear, and policy would be fought out openly on "party" lines. The suspicion that the H.S.U. is illicitly dominated by a minority group would evaporate, and Harvard's liberals could get on with the task of defending and extending democracy in a hostile world...
...guard situation has not improved appreciably since the announcement Monday that Ernie Sargeant had given up football. Dick pfister has looked better, and Tom Lacey has been doing yeoman work as his sub. Pfister's weak spot at present is his blocking on pullout plays when he is slated to clean out defensive backs. This phase of his blocking could be improved...
