...second division in only one category: passing. With two halfbacks who average less than four yards a carry, Brown understandably prefers to throw the bell more than any other team in the League (an average of 38 times per game). Brown's only decent runner. Gary Bonner, flunbed out for the second time this year...
...graduation. With the academic departure of Princeton halfback Walt Snickenberger, the Tigers' most experienced back has carried the ball 11 times in varsity action. Penn, with an experienced defense, some good backs, and receiver Clune, could provide an upset or two. Despite the loss of outstanding back Gary Bonner, who went the way of Princeton's Snickenberger, Brown should also improve; in other words, it might win a game this year
...biggest competitor, the Queensland Department of Aboriginal and Island Affairs, which every year sells 40,000 boomerangs made by aborigines living on missions. Department spokesmen insist that only aboriginal boomerangs can make two complete circles in the air before dropping at the feet of the thrower.

It has got nowhere-partly because Bonner had no success trying to demonstrate the superiority of the aboriginal product. At a press showing in Canberra, he scaled a boomerang that got stuck...
...looking for it. One of the most heartening things about Junior Bonner is the growth it shows in its director. Peckinpah looks honestly at the world with a view he could only extend into grotesquerie in Straw Dogs. He knows this Arizona territory, and thus is in such a position of strength that he can love the fools without killing them. Working from that base, if he can now move toward American subjects set in more pertinent modern points farther east and west, he might become one of the first American filmmakers to inform or enrage his audiences...
...Blessed from the start with an intense eye and a feel for the sensuous camera move, he has become increasingly skillful in cueing his audience by these means to the psychology of his characters. He has become so subtle in his effects that his two major blunders in Junior Bonner--a slow-motion destruction of a cottage by a tractor which is the softest piece of visual agrarian propaganda since The Grapes of Wrath, and a scene in an empty railroad station heightened by the handy entrance of a train--stick out like Irish bulls in a full corral. There...
