...second scene of the Adams House Henry IV, a good-sized lump of flesh is discovered slouching on a bench, snoring. It is the snore of authority, rich with phlegm and idiosyncrasy, and within a few minutes after it dwindles into wakefulness there is no question that things will be all right. The lump of course is Sir John Falstaff, in the considerably-augmented person of Daniel Seltzer, and the effervescent Mr. Seltzer is engaged in one of the most amazing tours de force ever perpetrated upon the risibilities of the Harvard community.

The small (160 Ibs.), scrappy Lindsay was considered past his peak, came to Chicago last year after 13 brilliant years as a star with the Detroit Red Wings. Sloan, most recently a bench warmer for the Toronto Maple Leafs, was bought last summer chiefly for utility purposes...
