The Producers team would consist of Walter Wanger, a hard-working non-scorer; Frank Borzage of long low-goal experience; Mike Curtiz, who took "ill" at the last moment, had Oil Man Steen Fletcher sub for him; and eight-goaler Aidan Roark, Zanuck's assistant at polo and pictures.

Last week the drubbing was even worse. The U. S. side won, 9-to-4, retained the Cup that has not crossed...
