Pass protection and fumbles raise another point. Michigan operates from a system which has just as many spinners, fakes, handoffs, and laterals as does Valpey's. Michigan does not fumble; Harvard does. This would seem to indicate that the quality of personnel had something to do with the matter. This writer has the deepest respect and admiration for the work done by Harvard's players this fall, but the fact remains that week after week they met teams composed of more gifted athletes.

Perhaps I am spoiled as I have seen West Point play three games this year and Notre Dame once, and expect to see the Army-Navy game tomorrow--which I know will be fight and a good game, offensively and defensively...

Throughout the fibu, Phillipe maintains a delicate balance between adult physical passion and adolescent instability. Miss Presle, a beautiful and sincere actress, appears convincingly confused as she depicts the feelings of the subjugated bourgeoise. Excellent support is given the stars by the tender performance of Jean Debucourt as the father of the school boy, by the well portrayed shock and righteous indignation of Denise Grey...
