...Another team in the national spotlight during the early '50's was Princeton. Coached by Charley Caldwell, the Tigers built up a 24 game winning streak largely due to the running, passing, and kicking of an all-around back, who led the country in total offense and nabbed the Heisman Trophy. Who was this fabled back...
...Robert Anderson puts the questions anew in the second, longer, and stronger of his duo of playlets, Solitaire/Double Solitaire. (The first is an Orwellian fantasy penned in plastic.) In Double Solitaire, Charley (Richard Venture) and Barbara (Joyce Ebert) have allowed 23 years of marriage to carry them from bliss to boredom. Charley is also caught in the middle of the contemporary value crisis. On the one side are his parents, people of stamina and principle, who have weathered 50 years of marriage.

Though it would be easy enough to resent him (when Finley gave Blue the Cadillac, one pitcher cracked: "If I win four games do you think Charley will give me a Honda?"), Oakland First Baseman Mike Epstein reflects the sentiments of all: "He's got it. He's a nice, likable kid. Nonassuming. It's hard for a kid getting the press like he's getting, but he comes and does his job." Mrs. Sallie Blue agrees. "He's a wonderful boy. He never changes. They make this fuss over...
