...last week was still drifting along on the current of routine appropriation bills. Only one little rapid had been negotiated: the rejection of the World Court Protocol. Only one prominent landmark had been passed: the renewal of the RFC for two years. But the session floated in a placid pool on the brink of the legislative cataract into which it will plunge when it starts in earnest on the President's program...
After Le Sacre not even his friends attempted to prophesy what Stravinsky would do next. But nothing could have surprised them so much as when he suddenly turned his back on vivid picture-music, announced a "return to Bach."

McGill suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Yale Wednesday evening, so it will be possible to make a fairly accurate comparison between the Crimson and the Blue...

It is probable that Joe Stubbs will make several shifts in the lineup before the return game with McGill next Wednesday...
