Thus the Brooklanders have a few more
days In which to prepare.
Manning's weak ankle II now strong
enough to permit OF his playing again,

George Washington Is hard hit with
injuries on the eve OF its game with the

victory, Just because Swarthmore won
from the Quakers means nothing to
Harlow. who believes that defeat may
make the Red and Blue all the stronger
next Saturday. ....
