1944

The licking we took from Navy last week was understandable and perhaps justified, but did leave me personally in a deplorable bargaining position with my fellow Cincinnatians. That same day the U. of Cincinnati whipped William and Mary 57-7, and William and Mary tied Navy 7-7 the preceding week ... which gave the mathematical mechanics a distinct rebuttal to my earlier claims what the Big Green would do to the locals if they ever met! I'm now talking about hockey.

Bill and Joan Portman joined in on the discussion of the relative merits of accomplishment between Boog and the dog, and the consensus was for Claudia.

Capt. Nick Manisas on the other hand has received full Army treatment, and suffice it to say he is in Europe with the office of the Army Attache.
