Never underestimate the power of a woman. Picture, if you can, this Eliphile passing up the 39-35 defeat of Harvard by the Yale basketball team. But what can a poor follow do? She doesn't like basketball.
And that's that.
I'm getting used to missing things, though. Football games, for instance. I certainly would have liked to have seen some of the big games--Great Lakes 19, Notre Dame 14; U. S. C. 6, College of the Pacific, 0; Yale 423, Harvard 2.
Especially that last one.
Yale became the Big Two football champion, Harvard won the championship of Camp Edwards, but the only consolation for Princeton men, whose team won only one game all year, was that they might have gone to Columbia.
Harvard won 2, lost 2 tied 1. The only mistake the team made all year was in not scheduling Camp Edwards more often.
Incidentally, we must announce with regret the passing of our little friends across the McKinlock Hall quadrangle. The psych boys graduated just before our furlough, much to the terror of the custodian of the Fordham University seismograph.
Said instrument is now being sandbagged as a precautionary measure against the free-for-all (at two bits per each) scheduled at the Faculty Club tomorrow night for the remaining veterans of the June invasion of McKinlock Hall. It threatens to outstrip the time when a couple of scabs tried to crash the Long-shoremen's Ball at the old Masonic Temple.
Next morning the House Wreckers' Union charged the longshoremen with unfair practice.
Highlight of the Faculty Club sofree will be the presentation of a plaque to the member of our class who turned on a Dillon Field House shower and got wet. Those are the only showers in the world under which you can stand in perfect safety with all your clothers on.
Don't get excited over the prospect of a shower that yields water at Dillon Field House. The H. A. A. got wind of it and had the leak repaired immediately.
After all, the place has a certain standard to live up to.
Among the new ASTP students now in amongst us is a group which had one of our corporals highly excited until we explained that they were NOT Canliary Ingenues.
