...coming out of Moro Bottom, Ark., with one good pair of shoes to play for the University of Alabama in the mid-'30s. He was the other end on the team that beat Stanford in the 1935 Rose Bowl, doing the blocking while All-America Don Hutson set records for pass catching. He wanted to coach, naturally, and worked his way up to Maryland and then gave Kentucky its only Southeastern Conference title-and an N.C.A.A. probation for recruiting violations. In 1954 he moved on to Texas A&M, and it was there that the teeth in the Bear...
...Bear's players, wearing the red jersey means being part of a tradition that reaches back to Don Hutson, Bart Starr, Lee Roy Jordan and Joe Namath. Says Defensive Back Andy Gothard: "Football at Alabama is earthly heaven." For the majority of students, the equation seems simple: by their football you shall know them. Cleo Thomas, Alabama's first black student-body president, says: "A national identity from football is all we have. If we had a losing season, we'd be nobody. We're gambling our pride and respect for the school on one thing...
...work in this production. And that was not Biff's fault--it was Willy's who, in being little more endearing than a Fuller Brush man, makes Biff's gesture seem strangely out of place.

Arnott and his chief actors, William Franklin Hutson and Jan Lewis, to scramble desperately to salvage a basically nebbish play. Noel Coward, the first English playwright to introduce Henry Ford's assembly line production techniques to theater, wrote the comedy in 1930 while in Shanghai seemingly to pose a challenge: Who could take his featherweight literary sedative about marriage and sex in English high society and transform it into an exciting and riotous evening's entertainment? The Tufts Summer Theater company...
Noel Coward himself acted in the London production of Private Lives is the 1930's (as Elyot), and he found it a trying, though successful, experience: "It was more tricky and full of pitfalls than anything I have ever attempted as an actor." Hutson and Lewis, as Elyot and Amanda, are a sharp, strong, and attractive duo who avoid most of Coward's worst pitfalls--abysmal dialogue, kitschy scenes, and trite psychology--and maximize Coward's well hidden strengths--the parody of English manners and social institutions, the art of verbal thrust and counterthrust, the sharp criticism of women...
