In the first quarter Yale lined up in kick formation, pulled a pass instead from Roscoe to Kelley, who caught Princeton napping, ran 29 yd. down to the corner of the field and over the goalline. Undefeated in 15 straight games. Princeton was expected to overcome Yale's lead in short order. But the Tigers never seemed to be able...
...Irishman is shellshocked, dies. Years later, when she has grown old and dumpy, Irela's faithful impresario urges her to retire gracefully. Obstinately singing Mimi in La Bohême, she beholds the audience giving its applause to a young and vivacious Musetta (Soprano Conchita Supervia). Afterward Theodore visits .her, tells her he is free. But when Irela suspects he pities her, she brusquely dismisses...
