...second singles Gottlieb was far off his game, bowing to Jon Clark 8-6, 6-0. The Crimson player had considerable difficulty controlling his usually brilliant passing shots, and his game completely fell apart in the final set. At third singles Larry Sears won a very impressive victory over Eli Sam Schoonmaker, 7-5, 6-0. Last year, Schoonmaker defeated Harvard number three man Ham Gravem in two sets...
...Poet's next rendez-vous is a gem. With a graceful, superbly theatrical manner, Lee Jeffries, perfectly cast as The Actress, goes to bed with the poet. "That's better than acting in damn silly plays," she breathes soon after their blackout. Still brilliant in her next scene, she is unfortunately confronted with a gawking performance by John Wolfson, who seems uneasy in his role as a slightly dimwitted, uneasy Count.

With an acute sense of timing, he carefully constructs each scene to extract the greatest possible amount of tension from it; and although this is his first motion picture, his camera work, which makes extensive use of probing close-up shots, is that of an expert.

British-born Marchesa Iris Origo (Leopardi: A Study in Solitude-TIME, Aug. 2, 1954) has done a brilliant job of sifting the Datini papers and presenting them for the first time as a biographical study. The theme that runs through her book is the unchanging nature of man, the unchanging sense of danger and disaster that surrounds his struggle through life...
This is a Crimson team with a first-rate defense and some brilliant pitching. Repetto has been masterful against Princeton and Brown, and Bob McGinnis was never better than against Holy Cross. Yet sometimes the pitchers don't find the spots, and on these occasions sharp defensive play has helped considerably...
