Throghout the remainder of the first period Harvard dominated play and a breakthrough seemed inevitable. Finally halfback John Gordon slipped a pass through to Gomez. The junior star shot the ball off a fullback's leg and the screened goalie could not compensate for the deflection in time...

Deeds is a bumpkin newspaper editor who unexpectedly inherits the financial empire of a robber-baron uncle and moves to Manhattan to redress family wrongs. In the first episode, TV Actor Monte Markham (The Second Hundred Years) wrestled with the Gary Cooper part...
