Write Sports for Us And See the World

Cambridge is a nice place, but haven't you ever thought how nice it would be to get away for a weekend, especially on someone else's money? To New York's Morningside Heights maybe. Or to Providence. Or even to Hanover, N.H., for some peace and quiet, and a Dartmouth fraternity party.

Well, it can be arranged. The CRIMSON sends sports reporters to cover a large number of Harvard's away games. Last year, John Powers went to Ithaca, N.Y., to watch an old time brawl in a tavern and then a football game. Bob Gerlach went to Philadelphia to keep an eye on Harvard's top-ranked squash team. And Marty Garay flew out to San Jose, California, to cover the soccer team in the NCAA Championships.

If you come out for the CRIMSON, we won't be flying you anywhere next week. Maybe not during the whole Fall. But someday soon you may find yourself in Philadelphia for the Harvard-Penn basketball game.

And just think: you may be the next CRIMSON writer to make the All-Ivy sportswriting team. Last year when the team was first selected, CRIMSON reporters took three of the six spots on the first squad and two on the second. And no one can deny the value of CRIMSON experience as a credential for writing on papers throughout the country during the summer or after graduation.

There are other opportunities, too. Once you make the news board- all sports persons are part of this board- you can learn to take pictures with CRIMSON cameras. Four of our sports reporters now do most of their own photographic work.

If these possibilities intrigue you, if you would welcome the excitement of being part of a daily newspaper, come to 14 Plympton Street at 7:30 p.m. tonight or Wednesday. Cap'n Crunch will be waiting.
