...both tailbacks, and so far Jordan has announced no formation which will include both men. Chances are that the Crimson will probably use some straight single wing plays, with one man at wingback and the other at tailback. It may also employ some T formation attack, with Lowenstein, a clever ball handler, under center, and Clasby, a better runner than passer, at left half. Brian Reynolds, a fine running halfback, might move up to right half. John Culver, of course, would be at fullback. The 215 pound senior has been bothered by no injuries and should run well today...
There are other problem for Olivar. One has been finding a place for Yale captain Joe Fortunato. Fortunato, a clever hard tackling linebacker last year just hasn't been able to make the transition to the game of one platoon. He isn't a shifty runner, and he can't play the line...
Turpin, a hard-punching, unrefined sort of fighter, started strong. He dashed out throwing punches, carried the fight to Olson for the first three rounds. Bobo, a clever boxer without a killing punch, backtracked nimbly, protected his head with his arms, and bided his time. As Turpin began to run out of steam-he had boxed less than 30 rounds in training -Bobo began his own offensive: a rat-tat-tat of light lefts and rights with just enough poke to them to keep Turpin off balance...
...work between the covers is not far above this level. With the exception of a clever dig at the Gen. Ed. Program's humanities courses, drawn by E. Wentworth, the cartoons are utterly witless. Two vignettes, one of a Roman chariot and one of a spotted cat, are the only really amusing drawings in the issue. The cat is Updike...
...Unfortunately, composers have not yet shown what this might be. The two classical works on the program (by Beethoven and Haydn) were both transcriptions, and of the contemporary quintets played, only the Hindemith has serious merit, though three short pieces by Ibert offer facile pleasure by their eclectic and clever ideas. The fact that a work is a transcription need not condemn it, however; and the two performed by the Quintet proved to be first Yale. The opening Haydn Divertimento in B flat was especially pleasing. Each of its four short movements is a gem, developing is a succinct...
