...writing is on the whole wooden and filled with cliches. There is a conspicuous lack of a copy desk. Not only do a few individual articles directly contradict one another, but there is far too much editorialization, particularly in the articles about undergraduate organizations.

...Uses of Razzle-Dazzle. Until recently, Cousy's career has been somewhat hindered as well as helped by his spectacular speed and fancy ball-handling. As a high-scoring collegian (15.1 points average), he could carry the day by individual brilliance. As a pro, where the night-after-night competition is much tougher, Cousy's fancy-dan passing sometimes caused costly mistakes.
