...year, the varsity upset a powerful Eli squad down at New Haven to take the Eastern League title. They defend this laurel now without the services of Dale Junta and Larry Sears,--first two singles men and the first doubles pair--who have both graduated. Yale, on the other hand, has its top six men back intact, and it will take another magnificent effort like last May's for Barnaby's team to overcome the New Haven powerhouse...
...eight years ago, will flower this season. The Bucs made a good run at Milwaukee last year, but if they had won, it would have been somewhat of a fluke. Thanks to the key trade this winter that brought to them a catcher who could hit, a steady left-hand starter, and a good third baseman all in exchange for an excellent third baseman, a Pirate victory this year would be no fluke...
Scientific proof, according to Pettigrew, has demonstrated that girls tend to be more proficient in verbal skills, whereas boy's abilities tend toward quantitative aptitudes. This "genuine difference" results from "reinforcement."

Wendell Ede and Ray Reinhardt as the dentist and the schoolmaster are both fine, and most of the other male leads are adequate, but the performance of the women do not come up to the standards set by the men.

Each of these sets is imaginative, and lends...
...Aaron's sure hand, however, that provides the necessary finesse. He handles the group scenes especially effectively; indeed, the best moment of the evening comes in scene four, when the priest is saying a makeshift Mass in the hut of the woman whose daughter he fathered. As the townspeople, genuflecting on the dirt floor, devoutly listen to the Latin words, Stephen Randall '60 (who does an excellent job in several bit parts) bursts into the hut with a warning that the police are three minutes away. The shock of this pronouncement frightens even the audience...
