Said he: "The championship of smearing has passed from Senator McCarthy to the Prime Minister. His election motto is ten smears a day to keep the doctor at bay."

...game, but a group of energetic Yalies from Berkeley and Calhoun Colleges gave a very entertaining, if not varsity-like, football performance this morning on the wide green between the Colleges. Not content with the orthodox football uniforms, these players adorned themselves in bright pajamas, bermuda shorts, sweat pants, stocking hats. At half-time a band, led by a swordsman paraded out for a small show. No one much cared but the score at the half...
