...face of increasingly stiff competition from such alert young firms as Aarons & Freedley (Girl Crazy), Schwab & Mandel (America's Sweetheart), Green & Gensler (Fine & Dandy), oldtime Producer Hammerstein's shows seemed to grow poorly and more poorly. His first play of this season, Luana, during the rehearsals for which he got hurt in a fight (TIME, Aug. 11), was a failure. His second show, Ballyhoo, was taken over after a two-week run by Funnyman W. C. Fields and the cast. Philosophical about his losses, 54-year-old Producer Hammerstein said last week: "When Mayor Walker comes back...

From the opening to the closing going, the contest was marked by brilliantly aggressive play by both teams. Superior passing and generally alert play accounted largely for Harvard's victory. Captain E. T. Gerry '31, and H. I. Nicholas Jr. '31 tied for scoring the honors of the game with six goals each. The brothers Raymond and Leonard Firestone were outstanding for the Tigers the former registering five goals and his brother three. The only mishap of the game came when J. H. Bliss '31 was thrown from his horse, but he received no serious injury...
