Following this discouraging defeat, the Crimson rattled off three quick victories, shattering two University records in the process. Sophomore Tom Wolf started the barrage, cruising over the 200-yd. backstroke distance in 1:54.05, besting Chuck Holum of Yale by two seconds and eclipsing his own University record by three full seconds...

The novel's appearance is more triumphant, as if the boy, after playing his little joke once too often, were to return home one day bruised and bloody with the dead wolf's skin slung over his shoulder. Nickel Mountain has just that simple tone of life-enhancing experience...
