Sturdy tackle Will Davis played one of his best defensive games, covering his position well except for one sequence and making many stops outside his area. Both ends performed capably-Stretch Mazzone, who has developed over this season into an excellent defensive end, and Pete Leavitt. The backers-up, Phil Isenberg and Paul O'Brien, also worked commendably, but the big Bruin line found it too easy to open holes in the Crimson forward wall. For a while, Howie Houston looked great on defense...
During the rest of the gams both teams had ample scoring opportunity, and plenty of shots were taken, Brown perhaps taking more than the varsity. But both goalies Harvard's Whoop Batchelder and Brown's Bob Scheffer--were at their best. Scheffer was especially unbeatable in the fourth period, when the Crimson dominated the quarter in an unsuccessful rally attempt...
Kilty's long, knowledgeable essay on the state of drama at Harvard is the best thing in the magazine. The former Theater Workship president vigorously attacks the present lack of official, University-supported drama study.

And he warns that, with the passing of the veterans, Harvard drama will lapse into its pre-war state of hapless amateurism unless steps are taken to set up a program within the College...
Besides the article on drama, two other pieces in the latest Advocate are good. The first is a welcome innovation in the form of a column--as yet untitled--by Geoffrey Bush. Far and away the best writer in this issue, Bush comments, New Yorker-style, on Archibald MacLeish and the Brattle Players with humor and imagination. His columns will be something to look for in future issues. the new department could and should supplant the self-conscious, posturing "Notes from 40 Bow Street" column, which provides vital data about the contributors, such as that they are enrolled...
Enright has been almost all the home games since then, and up until a few years ago he used to make the trip to New Haven. Naturally, he can reminisce with the best of them. It seems the late Percy Haughton was the local originator of post-game goal post demolition, a pastime which was to increase in popularity later on. Haughton was coaching at Cornell at the time and came down to watch a Harvard-Yale game. "He always was a playboy," recalls Enright...
