Harvard 1972
Harvard at Princeton
November 11th, 1972
Princeton wins 10-7
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band takes a long, hard look at great American political figures.
“Princeton Forward”
In this corner, weighing in at 350 pounds is William Howard Taft. Taft was not only a trustbuster but also busted many a truss in his brief but corpulent career as president. His accomplishments include being the only American president to ever get stuck in a bathtub. Late in his career, Taft was to sit in three of the nine seats on the Supreme Court and cast the deciding votes in the landmark case of 1923 which allowed the unlimited immigration of German beermakers and Italian cooks. Recognizing the difficulty America has in filling even one of President Taft’s shoes, we won’t even try.
“Stouthearted Men” (Band forms a fat stick figure)
29th President of the United States, devoted father of four, two by his wife. Harding was a broadminded president returning to normalcy every night, after searching for an honorable peace. It is for these efforts that a plaque has been erected in the White House room named in his honor, the blue room. It reads: eighth in war, first in peace, and third in the hearts of his countrymen. He was first in the hearts of his countrywomen too, as he got a lot of their vote to shake off tough competition from his opponent James Cox. As president, Harding attracted many slimy magnates from the oil industry. The Band wonders just how much Warren and his cronies kept hidden under the TeaPot Dome as they worked hard-in to the night.
“Hard Day’s Night” (Band forms a teapot)
Finally the Band feels that the world of politics should make some contribution to the world of show business instead of the other way around. To this end, may we suggest the movie A Separate Peace starring President Thieu, or Senator Thomas Eagleton in Shaft. The record industry should benefit from John Mitchell’s rendition of “I Heard it Through the Grapevine.” And, in fact, the trend has already begun. The Band recently learned that Senator George McGovern will star as the ambassador to Massachusetts in a new TV series “Make Room for Teddy.”
“There’s No Business Like Show Business” (Band forms ‘BIZ’)
(As the Band is marching off the field) This show was produced by John Fairly and directed by Bill Clean. This has been a fairly clean production.
