Hussey justifies "academic luminaries" on the ground that they constitute desirable "cross-pollination," and clears the Administration of the charge of "hasty action and ruthless action" and "bad faith" in last spring's decisions...

This faith has been fulfilled, for Saturday's game was a closely-fought contest, with both teams showing a heads-up brand of play. The team and coaches showed not only that they can rise above criticism, but that they can justify the confidence...
