Payoff Pass. For a while at the outset it appeared that the Southern California Trojans' brilliant Tailback Jimmy Sears (TIME, Nov. 3) might be the goat of the game. A Sears fumble on his own 30-yd. line set up the first scoring play for U.C.L.A.'s Bruins: a 22-yd. field goal. But early in the second period Sears put his team back into the lead with an impromptu play that brought the crowd roaring to its feet. Running interference for teammate Al Carmichael, Sears saw his teammate stopped after a ten-yard gain, yelled...
...combination like this is easily inflammable. The brilliant academician may buck under the reins of a lesser known dean, just as the Hudnut-Gropius arrangement flared up into an interdepartmental conflagration.

Columbia's brilliant Mitch Price, who has already shattered six Ivy League passing records and whose 16-seconds-to-go pass tied Army, was undone by hard-charging Dartmouth defenders. With Price completing only 9 out of 27 for 40 yds., Columbia lost...
...felt about herself at 14 is now, seven years later, shared by a majority of the critics on both sides of the Atlantic. Even those who did not like Charles Chaplin's self-conscious new film, Limelight, showered Claire, his leading lady, with such adjectives as "poignant," "delightful," "brilliant," "touching," "charming," "perfect." This week in London, Claire is winding up the second month of a triumphant Romeo and Juliet at the historic Old Vic theater. She has been hailed as the most enchanting Juliet in memory...
