...like a police inspector, wasn't one. Perhaps there had never even been a suicide. Perhaps. . . . In his last 20 minutes, Playwright Priestley has a high old time perhapsing.

On most teams the fullback is a burly, bludgeoning line-plunger. Crisler's fullbacks must be slick ball-handlers; they start most of his plays...
