Shepard figures that Columbia and Pennsylvania will set the pace in the E.I.B.L. "Ivy" loop, with last year's champion, Princeton, and Cornell battling for the next two places. He would not predict any final spot for the Crimson...
Each year, 11 teams compete in the Senior loop-including Olympic star laden Dartmouth and Middlebury and at the end, the three lowest teams give way to the winners of the three junior divisions. The season officially opens for the Crimson with the Eastern Division Championships at Lyndouville, Vt. on February 7 and 8.

...gibbet has long since given way to a graceful fountain, but Pizarro's spirit still inhabits the Plaza de Armas. His mummy, bones protruding through dark yellow skin, lies in a glass case in the cathedral. Lima's charter, kept in the city hall, shows the double loop the illiterate conqueror used as a signature. The fig tree he planted at the palace still lives. In 1935, there was added a 22-foot statue of Pizarro on horseback, which dominated the plaza from a lofty pedestal rising out of the cathedral's steps...
