Bell has really a five-man line when the first-stringers are on the ice; defensemen Tom Casey and Dean Webb skate like towards in a weave pattern that has baffled opponents. When the second team takes over, big Phil Johnston and John Palmer play the conventional defensive game in the rear guard...
...adequate if unexciting traversal of Giraudoux's Tiger at the Gates at Pi Eta. In the spring, Agassiz housed the group's intriguingly staged production of a poor dramatization of Voltaire's Candide. Back at Pi Eta, director Hancock had not sufficiently gelled his production of O'Casey's The Plough and the Stars by the opening; but, reportedly, it had greatly improved...

Casey was a fighter. Punching at the air, he would poise in defiance on the top step of the dugout and bellow angry encouragement at his team. Lifted by Casey, the Yankees won ten pennants in twelve years, took seven World Series...
