...Green's fast team showed its superiority especially in its capable ball handling. This gave the visitors a decided advantage over a Harvard team which seemed to lack the aggressiveness marked by its victory over Williams last Saturday...
During the second period the Harvard team grew sloppier and constantly lost the ball on errors. Captain White began the scoring with a field goal two minutes after the period began.

Call It a Day (by Dodie Smith; Theatre Guild, producer) combines all the good things from a generation of British domestic comedies, beautifully packaged in a tip-top production by the Theatre Guild.
