Sport: Music
De Ormond ("Tuss") McLaughry, Brown football coach, paid tribute at an alumni dinner to eleven other iron men the Brown football team that played through the season undefeated.* He derided the idea that he fed his protégés on milk. "Music," he said, "is what makes Iron Men. The players depend on rhythm and morale, and unless you have a singer or two on the squad you have a tough time keeping up the morale. Whenever we were in the train on the way to a game I always made them start a song. . . ."
*The same eleven men conquered Yale, Dartmouth and Harvard on successive Saturdays, using no substitutes until the last four minutes of play in the last of the three games.
