Cases don't come any harder than Poncelet's. His drifting life reaches its nadir when, with another man, he commits a lovers' lane rape and double murder, steadfastly (and unpersuasively) insisting that he did not commit the killings. There is about him an inchoate rage tempered, if that's the word we want, by self-pity and a certain raw intelligence, which has led him to jailhouse lawyering and several stays of execution. It is largely the latter quality, and the challenging seductiveness of his manner, that leads Sister Helen to see in him the possibilities of redemption...

Seems Hill has seen too many movies in which young western gunmen are anachronistically portrayed as if they were modern juvenile delinquents with a large yellow streak running down the center of their characters. Seems too that giving the punk something...

Defense is truly the name of the game for the Crimson. It has out-rebounded opponents by almost 20 per game, and in holding Babson and Army to just 60 points apiece on 30.3 percent field goal shooting, the cagers have cracked down heavily on penetration into the lane...
