...Harvard victory will depend more on whether or not the Crimson can stop the option and belly series run by Terhes. His fake hand-off to either halfback and his keep around the end have resulted in many dangerous runs in the past. Alert and aggressive play by the tackles and ends will be the only way to stop...
After several brief, effective expository scenes, Gibson's play traces Annie's struggles with her pupil up to the crucial point where young Helen, standing at a pump outside the Kellers' Alabama homestead, realizes that the W-A-T-E-R which Annie is spelling out in her hand means something and that that something is the water flowing over her arms. With this discovery of language, Annie's job has both ended and just begun; from this first world "water" Miss Keller built and understood a world...
...general, the British performers were suprisingly inept in the field events. England's two discus men, Arthur Perry and G. R. Northern of Oxford were great hulks of men, but they had trouble coming within 20 feet of the winning toss by Pyle of Yale.

The two-mile was originally planned as a three-mile test, but was shortened out of courtesy to the Americans. Even so, Benjamin, the best American two-miler, was 11 seconds behind Oxford's Gilligan. While the Americans religiously...

Many apply; few are accepted. And this education is as expensive as it is selective. The state institution, on the other hand, is surrounded by farm lands which can easily be purchased for expansion, and with greater numbers of applicants the number of students will rise. State subsidies keep tuition costs low. Many apply--and many are accepted. Thus, the University of Massachusetts definitely favors expansion to accommodate an influx...
These essential difficulties are partly balanced by certain specifically cinematic excellences. Tony Richardson, the director, does fine atmospheric things with grubby streets pouring disconsolate rain, and the nerve-wracking, shouting bustle of a public market. On the other hand, he tends to hammer home his crises much too obviously, and he has not generally done well with his principals. They tend toward loud whispers, harsh, throaty low tones, and quick sharp short sudden utterances--a pattern that has become a movie cliche...
