While Crimson goaltender Ben Bryan foiled 11 Brown attempts to score in the second half, Brown fullback Steve Ralbovski, easily the smoothest player on the field, defused all of the Crimson's offensive threats...
...success of the show lies mainly in the casting, which resulted in many first-rate individual performances. In particular, David Cohen as the long-suffering Morris, LaGuardia's right hand man, and Paul Hewitt as Ben, the slick local party leader, rate gold stars for both their singing and acting performances.

Even his soon-to-be-released memoirs, Undercover, contains lies, he admitted, that were designed to protect his previous perjury...
...flatfooted Tigers could not put together an offense to rally from the deficit as the Crimson defense held tough for goalkeeper Ben Bryan's third Ivy League shutout. Bryan was hardly tested by the Princeton offense (which has produced only one score in five league contests) as he was forced to come up with only six saves...
