NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The crowds will roar as the great Harvard-Yale classic is fought out below them. The crowds will rush out to partake in mass celebration after the final whistle. But behind the scenes different and more somber contests will take place.

Five grim and nervous Sophomore managers will frantically rush about doing their last and their best as the "zero hour" approaches. In the midst of the general breaking of training in the locker room after the game, they will doggedly stick to their jobs, for now more than ever their work is the most important thing.

"Zero Hour"

Not until the last player has left, not until the last towel has been picked up, can these five let up. At last the "zero hour" will have arrived. According to tradition, John Atherton '40 will then summon them into the Jayvee Coaches room.

The five sophomores who are as follows: Richard M. Jackson, Franklin King, Jr., William T. Peabody, Harvey C. Taylor, and will then bite their nails through a long introductory talk describing the difficulty of determining the winning Sophomore in such a close competition.

Finally the fatal letters will be awarded to each competitor. In these envelopes will be written the outcome of the competition. There are three positions to be filled by the five.

One will be chosen as Assistant Varsity Manager in his Junior year, to be Varsity Manager as a Senior; the second man will become the Assistant Junior Varsity Manager, Junior Varsity Manager as a Senior; and the third competitor will be the Assistant Associate Manager.
