Kirkland House unleashed a savage first-half running attack yesterday to drop Eliot from the undefeated ranks 7 to 0, at the same time maintaining its own spotless record with four wins and no losses. Meanwhile, Leverett came fast at the end to down Adams 12 to 0 and go into a tie for second place in the league standings...

This left C.I.T. with a lot of cash ($48,000,000 on June 30), plenty of ambition -and practically no place...
