Parties, TD's Mark Big Weekend; Moral Band Flushes Out Sinners

The usual number of cocktail brawls and more than the usual number of Crimson touchdowns entertained the small but spirited band of students who spent the weekend in New Jersey's most fashionable resort town.

Partly off-setting the lopsided score on the gridiron, the Band scored a kind of moral victory over the Princetons. Filling silently into the main quadrangle at 6 a.m. Saturday morning, the Band members stopped in front of Blair Hall and began to play "Harvardiana."

So compelling was the Band's music that from several doorways came hastily-clad Princetons escorting girls in negligees and fur coats. Then, as the dates of the Band members stared through their fingers in disbelief, a nude Tiger in a highly agitated state appeared on a fourth floor ledge and shouted a greeting to the visitors.

Bad Start

The weekend festival got off to a bad start Friday night with a pre-game rally at which Tiger athletic leaders hurt the feelings of Crimson visitors by making ungentlemanly remarks about the team.

But more hospitality was shown at another country club in nearby Lawrenceville at an 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. dance sponsored by "The Princetonian," the college daily, and "The Tiger," a humor magazine. And after the game, the clubs opened their doors to all comers.

Side attractions included a debate on the topic, "Resolved: that it is better not to get up in the morning." A Werner Pleus '51 and Robert L. Glynn '51 arguing the negative, lost to two Tigers speaking from cots and waving toothbrushes.

Dignitaries at the game included Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall, British Ambassador Sir Oliver Franks, Judge Harold R. Medina, and Bertram Russell.
