...several respects, a victory, and a decisive one, over Army. is mandatory. The Cadets are a much weaker squad than they were last winter, when forwards Dave Merhar and Tony Curran scored nearly 200 points to pace them to a highly successful season, and with both performers gone.

Tuned to Pitch. Running for six hours over two evenings, Methuselah takes on life and force most often in its acting. Paul Curran and Harry Lomax gleefully caricature Lloyd George and Herbert Asquith as, respectively, fatuous and feckless.
