Strings Attached: How Harvard’s Wealthiest Alumni Are Reshaping University Giving
For the first time in my long career, I am embarrassed. Some time ago, in a moment of careless folly, I made a considerable wager on Yale to beat Princeton. Betting against Princeton has often proved economically unsound. Though it is great fun to make the wagers, paying them is not so pleasant. And today it seems to be on the cards for Princeton to mop up the Bowl with the Elis. If this eventuality occurs, the young Forecasts will go without footgear this winter and I myself will have to cut down to two cigars a day.
Stands Up for Yale
So I will enter the lists, and boldly pick Yale, though there is every reason why Princeton should win. This is a great test of my power. If I win, there will be considerable justification in the word that is going the rounds that Joe Forecast's support is worth more than a good backfield. And here are the scores:
Harvard 10. Holy Cross 0
Yale'6. Princeton 0
Dartmouth 20, Cornell 7
Penn 20. Columbia 0
Notre Dame 13. Carnegie Tech 7
Wisconsin 7. Lowa 6.
Northwestern 13. Indiana 6
Illinois 14. Chicago 0
N. Y. U. 27. Missouri 7.
