...final round of the East-West tourney for Olympic honors. Had the Minnesota team overcome the combination of New York and Boston players, the Crimson would have today have had an opportunity to show itself superior to the nation's Olympic team; but the stellar play of Douglass Everett '31, and J.

The soldier (Kent Douglass) seems naif but not absurd; his stepfather (Frederick Kerr) is a magnificently deaf old gentleman whose grunts and questions are not only real but funny. Mae Clarke as the girl gives the best performance of her short but competent career. Forlorn but hardboiled, she remains plausible even when...
