Washington, D. C.
at this writing Washington alumni are .TV. looking forward to the Cornell game on Saturday and the annual joint party with Cornell alumni at the Lee House
Several men are making the long drive to Ithaca to see the team in action—Barto '39, McCoy '18, Worthington '33 (one of those guys who decides to go at the last minute and has to phone for tickets) Vermillion '26, George Morris '11, Wilson '16.
Our weekly luncheon sessions drop politics during the fall and talk football. The Dartmouth-Cornell lunch, beer, and close harmony session, an annual feature, finds these two groups getting friendlier every year, and possibly Dartmouth alumni will send their daughters to Cornell when they send their sons to Hanover Stanley Brown '39, here on the Class of 1926 scholarship to find out what makes the Government tick (if it does) is having a nice rest in Emergency Hospital after having his appendix subtracted by John Lyon, Washington's Ail-American surgeon The football pool on the Dartmouth-Yale score was won by Ted Stafford '11, with Hoge and Wilson tied for second Stafford has one son at the Naval Academy and one at Bowdoin, and is more objective than the rest of us Herb Woods '10 exuding pessimism as usual, predicted a Yale win, but we think it is a telepathic effort to keep the team from becoming over confident Fred Pierce '13, who saw the Yale game, gave a Cunninghamesque account of the event. .... Shirley Povich, sports scribbler on the Washington Post, marvels in his column over the fact that Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Dartmouth send so few men to professional football teams Thou- sands of Washingtonians will get their first sight of a Dartmouth team at the Navy game next year .... others will hear of the College for the first time Jimmy Pimper, recently married, does all his talking at the luncheons now .... we hope the missus will keep him well in hand.
Reports on the Washington freshmen at Dartmouth, fragmentary, give the impression that our boys will justify their selection, much to satisfaction of Warren Kendall '99, our beaming Alumni Councillor. Warren never misses a luncheon if he can help it, although he probably was in Sioux City, lowa yesterday and will be in Seattle or Jacksonville tomorrow, in his capacity as chief circulator of freight cars We had a visitor who has recently made an impassioned speech about the proposal to have the College control undergraduate publications .... we signed his petition for reconsideration, but the concensus is that it might be well to set up responsibility in one man who couldn't pass the buck to a committee No one fears for the freedom of the press under Hoppy, or anything else
Looking over alumni notes of other cities, where do all these recent graduates come from, and what has become of the classes not so old, not so young? Not enough news of them, or don't they make news? .... Looking over the Alumni Mag, most people hand the palm to the class of 1918 for two decades of scintillating class notes, due to such eggs as Stan Jones, Earley, Cassebeer and the present class secretary for 1918.
