TENACIOUS FRESHMAN SNAGS ACTRESS GRABLE FOR DANCE

Employing persistent and effective methods of approach, an enterprising Yardling, F. Barton Harvey, Jr., yesterday secured the company of actress Betty Grable as his "date" for the Freshman Union Tea Dance Saturday afternoon after the Yale game.

Following a deadlocked telephone conversation with an obdurate stage manager and a fruitless telegram, Harvey, describing his message as "most urgent," was able to get in touch with the famous figure, now appearing at the Shubert in "DuBarry Was a Lady," and popped the question.

Unable to come to the game because of a Saturday matinee, Miss Grable will invade the Yard immediately after her performance.
