New Information

"How's Coach Valpey, Mr. Johnston?"

"Any statement about Mr. Valpey will have to come from Mr. Valpey."

"Well, what's happening on the football situation?"

"They're handling that sort of thing downtown. You know just as much about it as I do."

My head brimming with this information, I left the vine-covered HAA offices.

There was one more chance. A call to Mr. Valpey was bound to net some valuable information about his recent travels. This being the subject for several stories by the discriminating Boston papers, it was certainly good for the CRIMSON.

"How about your trip to New Mexico, Mr. Valpey?"

"They invited me out there, and I had some business in the midwest, so I combined the two trips."

(The president of New Mexico told a reporter earlier this week that Valpey hadn't even put in an application for the new job. This didn't rule out Valpey, and the new coach will be announced in a few days.)

Bill Bingham wasn't at home. No one knew where he was or how long he would be there.
