...Americans were convinced despite the considerable quantities of beer consumed. Blodgett remarked. "They're just trying to psych us. The ones we see drinking and smoking aren't the ones we'll be running against, but they don't tell us that." The psychological warfare reached its peak the Sunday before the meet, when Oxford's Gilligan took his workout with two Yale men and ran them into the ground, and Harvard's Benjamin retaliated by doing eight consecutive quarter miles under 60.0, two of them faster than his previous personal best...

Kan-ichi, a poorly-off University student, loves Miya, whose parents have arranged a marriage with wealthy Tomiyama. Miya is not submissive about giving up her lover, but her parents tell her that after marrying Tomiyama she will secretly be able to help Kan-ichi continue his schooling in Europe, acting as a "sister" to him. Her sacrifice, of course, is futile since Kan-ichi's male pride sees it simply as desertion...
