...Harvey will tell you, things have changed. The staff have put their heads together and devised a pair of angled mirrors at which the projectors aim. The mirrors turn the image rightside right and the obscuring prism has been plucked out.

Darwin Wile and Mike Sheridan make a pair of 200-pound tackles, and Massachusetts all-Prep Tony Watters holds down the center position...
