...roads led to Rome last week, and the Romans used them, lickety-split. Along a rock-&-gravel supply highway which Marshal Rodolfo Graziani had just completed from Sidi Barrani back to bases in Libya, Italy's Army of the stagnant Egyptian invasion ran for its life. Along an Albanian road hugging the cliffs spectacularly from Porto Edda to Valona, built by the Italians during the last war and subject of great engineering pride with them, Italy's Army of the reversible Greek invasion made further headway backwards.

The grads will counter with Charley Hutter, Don Barker, Rick Cutler, and George Scott. The total points involved in these two races will probably be split quite evenly, but the Varsity has a destined advantage in the final relay. There will not be a 440, so Bus Curwon could team up with Powers, Stowell, and a fourth man to form a relay quartet which the Alumni would have a hard time equaling...
