Probably one of the more interesting news stories that carried as far as the Midwest and concerned Dartmouth for some time was the Dartmouth-Princeton tussle in Princeton in November. Most squibs about our Ivy League alma mater just don't seem to penetrate the Appalachian barrier but this game not only brought forth a blast from Col. McCormick's Chicago Tribune but also a mention in Time. The Bulletin, the almost-weekly mimeographed publication to class officers of the College, spent considerable time and effort clearing the cloud of doubt regarding the game with testimony from officials, opposition coaches, etc. Apparently the Princetons are still sore about the combination of low score and/or the damage to their All-American back. From an eyewitness report I received, it boils down to one unnecessarily rough Dartmouth end plus a typical last-tussel-of-theSeason Princeton game. At any rate, you guys and gals who are within the range of the games each fall are extraordinarily lucky.

On a train going East for Christmas, we had the good fortune to run into Joe Ransmeier, Ass't Prof, of Economics, now on leave and taking his LL.B. at Ann Arbor, who was on his way to Hanover for Christmas. He chided us about getting on skis again, a luxury we haven't enjoyed since leaving the Hanover Plain. The way it's been making with the white stuff around here, all we need is an entrepreneur with a rope tow and we'll be out testing life insurance statistics again. Well, we'll have to say toodle-oo for this month. We're still doing business at the same old stand, how about a letter?
