...play of magnitude lends itself to varying interpretations. The original Big Daddy, Burl Ives, portrayed him as a man with a sensual lust for life. In 1974's Broadway revival, Fred Gwynne brought out his cruel, vindictive side. With a flawless Southern accent that testifies to his lifelong perfection of craft, Olivier plays Big Daddy as the feudal lord of "28,000 acres of the richest land this side of the Valley Nile," a man born with the habit of imperial command...

Netminder Ellen Seidler turned in a flawless performance, but was seldom tested, as a swarming 'Cliffe defense blanketed the Yale attack. Mleczko, who earned a record seven varsity letters while attending Andover, spearheaded Radcliffe's attack throughout the season, although only a freshman. The J.V.'s also ended their season in spectacular fashion as they walked over the Elis, 3-0. The Radcliffe offense collected 29 shots on goal...
