Dartmouth has its own time-sharing system, somewhat different from Harvard's, but more extensive and more extensively used over the last few years. Many of the computer committee's suggestions were based directly or indirectly on the comparative success of Dartmouth; "Harvard," Mosteller says, didn't seem to us "to be leading or perhaps even keeping...
Crediting the Crimson's lack of success to the fact that "last year's starters haven't played as well this season," Wilson views the rest of the schedule's games as "all tough."
