"How about next year's football team?"

"It's hard to say. We've got some good men coming up from the freshman team, but we'll have to wait and see how they do in spring practice. That's still pretty far off, you know."

And then, Penn . . .

We left. We didn't want to ask Mr. Bingham about Pennsylvania. The general spirit around the office seems to be that Harvard isn't really concerned about what happens there now.

Nobody knows just where Pennsylvania is going. It would seem that Mr. Stassen's recent statement, which claimed that everyone had stopped playing Penn because of their game with Notre Dame in 1952, was ill-spoken.

If Mr. Bingham were asked, it is fairly certain that he would point out that we've got nothing against Notre Dame. The academic standards are above reproach and we would be inclined to think that they are cleaner regarding athletes than most other schools.

Mr. Stassen it appears, is seeking some form of a liberalized sanity code. This is a pretty cloudy concept and the Ivy group directors would be grateful for a more thorough explanation. We hate to think that Mr. Stassen is using a college, and a college football team for furthering his personal ambitions. "Please the people no matter what they want," is an idea which is prone to exaggerated action.
