...three, Harvard's Clive Kileff pairs off with Ham Magill in a baseline battle. Two years ago Magill blitzed Kileff, 6-0, 6-0; last year Magill edged him, 6-4, 3-6, 6-2; this year, who knows? In his early matches this season, Magill has been playing below his best. This duel will be crucial...
...year Harvard decisively won over the Lions, 8-1; this year it could be even worse. Princeton easily blanked Columbia, 9-0, Wednesday, without losing a set. Columbia's only player who put up any kind of a battle was number two man Tuck Ganzenmuller, who bowed to Tiger Ham Magill...

But Bette meets the challenge in a climactic staircase scene, a horrendous ham classic. Sobbing, she crawls to the top of the steps, sees something, freezes like a psychotic spaniel, then goes howling down backward and sideways, all matted curls, eyeballs and quivering flesh. By the time she rumbles to a stop, audiences may justly wonder which apparition is scarier-Bette at the bottom or that...
