Only a smile and a nod are usually necessary to win an extra spoonful of peas or more whipped cream for the Jello. Some will go on at great length about the state of their health, or last summer's trip to Europe. Their dauntlessness in the presence of the Mother Superior often springs from seniority. Even the necessity of facing them over rows of cold limp broccoli does not diminish the pleasure of verbal contact with these fine motherly...

Yovicsin said Bilodeau got the nod over John McCluskey, who started for Harvard in the first three games, because "he's been moving the team, and the other boy isn't quite healthy yet." McCluskey is still suffering from a leg-muscle pull he suffered against Massachusetts three weeks...
