Feminine Wiles Almost--But Not Quite--Won the day Feb. 17 when Harvard students met Wellesley in a crossword spelling game at Cambridge, Mass. The Crimson Warriors won, two sets to one, but not before they had had such words as “chum” and “bum” hurled at them. Here’s a tense moment as Ed Reid (at left, wearing glasses) ponders a play. Other contestants shown are (left to right): Frances Nearing, Robert Bunker, Adrian Thorne and William R. Calbee.
