...score. If no one of its tunes equals Begin the Beguine or Get a Kick Out of You, all 17 of them have their good points, and together form a sort of triumphal procession.

The game was fast and relatively clean, except for a protracted dispute between Dudley and the referee on a point of rules. It was the second win for the Commuters, as against two defeats, and the fourth straight loss for Adams. Dudley also carried off the B League game...
