1913

The sports writers and the TV announcers talk a lot about basketball and hockey and too little about football, in my opinion This is the football season and it's a thriller-Dartmouth has emerged a victor now in two games, thanks to the educated toe of a young one-time soccer player. Anybody with a weak heart should beware of listening to or seeing the games with Columbia, Cornell, and Princeton which promise to be cliff-hangers. Three old regulars—Bill Towler, Bill Mason, and your secretary—missed the Harvard-Dartmouth game for the first time since WW2. Towler phoned that he couldn't make it due to a previous engagement and Bill Mason and I did not feel up to making the trip and had to settle on listening to the radio. I haven't heard who represented at the game.

Pat Maloney lives in Venice, Fla., an is in frequent communication with the Barnetts. Joe has had further complications and is still in the Morton Plant Hospital, 323 Teffers St.. Clearwater, Fla. 33516.

Received a notice from Hanover of the death of Dr. Francis B. Harris on August 4,1971. The class records reveal nothing about him. If any of you have any information about him, please send it along.

A letter from Ed Sides, who lives in largo, Fla, confirms reports of Joe Barnett's illness. He lives only three miles from Joe's home and six miles from the hospital. He writes that except for his Wife's minor operation and his bum legs there isn't a thing wrong with him. He still has his eye on our 60th Reunion and his whole family knows that that event has Priority over anything else in 1973. His doctor promised to keep him alive so that he can attend. He sends his very best regards to his classmates and especially to his good friends.
