Harlow used that same setup this fall, except that instead of shifting into the single-wing, he would shift into an L formation if he elected not to run from the T. He never used a spinner (one of the Crisler essentials) because he built his attack around the straight-ahead over power of Vinnie Moravec. When Moravec got hurt, it was too late to scrap the system. Here is the biggest single problem facing Valpey: in order to employ the razzic-dazzle, split-second timing offensive he knows so well, he must find a fullback who can spin...

...direction and acting aside-and sets and costumes were top-notch, too-the question of the play itself arises. As an early bit of Shaw it might be considered a preliminary study for "Man and Superman," except that, although it treats the same subject a large part of the time, with the same philosophy, it does not restrict itself to the specific point of the Man of Moral Passion being caught by the life force. "You Never Can Tell" gets off some heavy fire at the actual process of courtship that the later masterpiece disregards, and it also expresses some...
