...solve the squad's guard-rich, forward-poor problem, veteran guards Bill Brady and Steve Davis will get the starting nods at right and left forward respectively while Bill Henry, a guard until shifted up front last week, will return to his first love.

This reviewer is sick to death of analyzing in detail every poor, juvenile story, play, or poem that is printed on each side of the Common every month. Suffice to say that Signature's four drama articles are competently written and quite interesting. Their major fault is that they form so important a part of an issue that has an obligation to tackle its chosen problem with greater scrutiny and directness.
