This summer we have a young man, Ray Dooley, clad in a silver body-stocking with ligamental cords running from arms to torso. Dooley moves with admirable lightness, assisted by John Morris' delicate flutes, harp and chimes. His speech, however, is erratic; and his discourse (in a harpy's disguise) to the villainous nobles is an almost total loss. In "Come unto these yellow sands," "Full fathom five," and "Where the bee sucks" Ariel has three of Shakespeare's loveliest lyrics; but Morris' supporting vocalists cannot hide the fact that Dooley is simply no singer.

To my knowledge Clifford is the first pitcher around these parts to win both ends of a doubleheader since Dooley Wolmack of the Yankees in 1968. Whatever, after Dartmouth took a 1-0 lead in the first, it was Clifford's ballgame. Harvard lashed out ten hits, five of them for extra bases, one of them a satellite, that being Bingham's two-run homer in the sixth that hit halfway up the roof of the fieldhouse behind the right field fence...
