...afternoon sunshine yesterday, the photographer snapped wholesome pictures of 'Cliffies running up Widener stairs, struggling with assorted clothing at the Grant-In-Aid auction, and smiling through drippy sandwiches at Eisie's. A mass tableau of eight or nine girls riding bikes along the Charles is planned...
...anybody yet knows, Drumbeats and Song may have in The Pajama Game a superb show or a shuddering wreck of a production.

For the final week's skirmishing, Dietzel and Vaught suspended worry about their coming Sugar Bowl game and grimly set out to capture...
