...teams were the same as those of the scrimmage on Monday, the Army team and the Navy team. The play lasted over an hour. In the first two quarters the first string outfits battled, while during most of the last half, the remaining members of each squad participated.

The first teams of each squad lined up as follows...

"I should die if I quit work," he is said to say at intervals...
...hundred days were too dramatic for the drama. Forgetting this, B. Harrison Orkow, who previously wrote something called Milgrim's Progress, has made them into a tidy and pompous play, in which Lionel Atwill struts for what seems sometimes to be an interminable two and three quarter hours.
