Miller from Worcester Academy, is particularly promising, being an extremely fast backfield man weighing over 190 pounds. He placed in both of the dashes at the Harvard Interscholastic last spring.

His new theme is one that either Rachel Crothers or Booth Tarkington might have chosen: the story of the breaking down of a family due to the frothy characteristics of a rather ordinary American husband-a bond salesman, a $10,000-a-year man. Miss Crothers would have discussed her problem at length and her adolescents would have represented a current difficulty in the younger generation. Mr. Tarkington would have made fun of his people.
