...Marshal Harris. Except perhaps in the last rounds, the chief instrument will be his Bomber Command. His friend and poker foe, General Eaker, is just as much of an airman, and he had a great deal to do with presenting and championing the airmen's proposition.

With such attacks the weight of bombs dropped on Germany was soaring to astronomical figures: after Dortmund, the R.A.F. figured that its Bomber Command had reached the 100,000-ton mark. German retaliation to the air war was, by comparison, infinitesimal-nuisance raids by day or night, averaging a dozen planes with bombs up to 500 pounds...

They beat Springfield 5 to 3 for their only win. By way of comparison, Tufts, with whom the Harvard team has spilt a pair of games, topped Springfield...
