...plain spectacle, not to be compared to the Broadway durbars of Mr. White and Mr. Carroll, and plumes and rosettes are absent from what Mr. Woollcott used to term the decor. Except for the miraculous waltzing of Mr. George Fontana and Miss Marjorie Moss, it is, in the matter if beauty, no great shakes, as Mr. St. John Ervine would call it.

Another possibility is the substitution of a passer for the quarterback, and the assignment of Captain A.E. French '29 to the signal caller's post. Whatever combination may be evolved, it will receive an excellent test under fire against the Holy Cross invaders, very strong defensive players...
