Until Sellers reenters the narrative, however, the humor lags. Mason is disgustingly lecherous enough and Sue Lyon, as a blond-haired, blue-eyed, bud-breasted adolescent, succeeds in making sensitive, intelligent Humbert become just a dirty old man. Shelley Winters, however, as Lolita's mother and Humbert's aggressive, nymphomaniacal, and pscudointellectual suitor, over-acts too much; in trying so hard to make poor Mrs. Haze an interesting character, she becomes a bit tedious and tiresome...
...Billy O'Dell (19-14), and Billy Pierce (13-6) give them a great foursome of starters, and Stu Miller, Don Larsen, and Mike McCormick are more than adequate in relief. Against this lineup put Whitey Ford (17-8), Ralph Terry (23-12), Bill Stafford (14-9) and Bud Daley (5-3). Pretty obvious who's better. Marshall Bridges (3.17 ERA) is one of the best reliefers in the business, but he can't work seven straight games...
Harvard is also fond of the "outside belly" or "ride" series, perfected at Oklahoma by Bud Wilkenson. The key man in the series is the quarterback, and Bassett excells in this type of work.

Said he: "There ain't but one thing to do and that is to cut down a blackjack sapling and brain 'em and nip 'em in the bud." Griffin hastily added that he didn't mean to be taken literally-but obviously, in some circles, he was. For as Griffin let out all the segregationist stops in the closing days of one of Georgia's bitterest, dirtiest Democratic primary campaigns, racial violence popped out like the pox: night...
Back came a meek refusal from Football Coach Bud Wilkinson, the President's consultant on physical fitness: "This chal lenge is appreciated, but it would be most difficult to assemble here a pickup team that would offer any challenge at all to such a redoubtable group as yours." Last week, when the British winkers met the likes of S. J. Perelman and Stage Director-Producpr Mike Ellis in Bucks County, there was a hint of opposition. Perelman lost with a debonair, hand-in-pocket flair; Ellis' keen squidging eye and steady wrist made...
