On the forward wall, Walt Greeley at center, flanked by Amory Hubbard at left wing and Norman Grant at the other outside post, appears a likely starter. The second offensive unit will be, from left to right, John Dunphy, "Dove" Harvey, and Fran Hardy...

Said Collins: it was merely "what I believe to be true, based on personal and vicarious experience." On Thanksgiving, N.Y.U. officials settled the matter to their own satisfaction by clearing the sketch off the wall because of "sharp student controversy . . . without passing judgment on either its artistic or philosophical merits...
