Crimson coach John Yovicsin says that he plans to rely this afternoon on the same atack that he has used all season long. This evidently means an emphasis on running plays between the tackles; for the varsity has had a singular lack of success at passing and has never had the backfield speed to run the opposing ends effectively...
...House Committee members trundle about alternately beseeching and strong-arming recalcitrant donors, it is time to reconsider the value of House dues. Since the functions which dues once financed have now become essential to the success of the System, and since the donors no longer attach any value to their contributions, the University would do well to provide its own support for the marginal, but increasingly valuable House activities. The expense would not be a staggering one, but the relief it would bring to House committees, House Masters and even House members would be more than commensurate. Dues...
...dormitory of Smith College, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, cost $1,600,000 and is less of a success. It is neat, severely cheerful architecture of the currently approved mode, but perhaps its negative aspects ought to be more noticed.

George remembers vividly the time Smith disagreed with General Henry ("Hap") Arnold, Army Air Force chief. "C.R. turned around and said," recalled George, " 'Hap, that's a hell of a way to run a railroad...
...champagne bucket, and a tangle with a band of surly Arabs whose chief is lovesick over photographs of Rita Hayworth. A prim young Englishman's wife (Jennifer Jones) is snowed by the inscrutable Bogart, and Bogie's wife (Lollobrigida) is similarly attracted to the Britisher. The swindle plan nears success a dozen times, but falls apart each time. At the end the same shot of the square appears, and the film closes in a boisterous da capo...
