...other fundamental element in today's rapid pace, according to Harlow, is the man in motion. Only in the past two years has the use of the back in motion reached its ultimate refinement in the T formation. First crudely evolved from the Chicago Bear approximation of the T, the motion-left-and-right was quickly-adapted by Charlie Caldwell of Princeton to the single wing. "With a man in motion, a play can always explode," is the opinion of one of the device's fathers, Coach Harlow. The resulting strain on the ingenuity of the defensive secondary lines...
...roots, but just as careful not to trip on them. He does not forget that the Atlantic has a bigger circulation in California than in Massachusetts. In the Atlantic's ivy-covered Back Bay brownstone home on Arlington Street, opposite the Public Garden, Weeks labors at a furious pace. He does much of his work in a Windsor chair with his lap full of manuscripts, shortens interviews by seating visitors in an uncomfortable straight-backed Italian chair...

Halasz had picked up some ideas from Broadway and Hollywood, including pretty girls in the chorus and the use of screen projections for scenery. The Met has snapped up ten of his singers, including Dorothy Kirsten, Regina Resnik, Polyna Stoska. His performances of off-beat operas like Ariadne auf Naxos...
...resemblance between this team and the one which races Yale and Princeton in New Jersey tomorrow is purely accidental. Rosenfeld and John Cogan are now the pace-setters. Little Bill Baker is running number three, a guy named Charley Worth is fourth, and the fifth man might be whichever one feels the best out of a group of half a dozen...
