...mistake--most of the numbers transcend any specific time or place, and would stand up well in a professional theater anywhere. The fact that the quality of the material is so consistently high is remarkable, considering there are about a dozen authors involved, and the few sketches that do drag--particularly in the second half of the show--might look better if they weren't in such brilliant surroundings.

The Crimson is coming off its best game of the year against Cornell last week, while the Big Green tied Ivy favorite Brown last week. The victor of today's game will clearly be the top contender for the Ivy title, and both teams want it, need it, badly...
