When Ron Maierhoffer graduated last spring, the feeling around the League was that Cornell would gain from not having to put up with a star who rarely did anything but shoot and dribble. Now, with Chite, the Big Red is back in the same old rut. Although the speedy inside was the flashiest player on the field, he couldn't zero in on the Crimson goal, and he refused to set up his teammates...
...Rut. One result of Allen's leadership was that the Bulletin grew up. Born as an occasional handbill on downtown storefronts, the paper had gone daily in 1882 and settled into an indolent rut, focusing mostly on the doings along King Street and the arrival and departure of ships. Allen set about extending the paper's horizon, but not without occasional whimsical excursions into island fun. ?No one could be really sure what would appear on April Fools' Day.

So crammed is his scene with lives near precipices and gutters as to cry out for someone merely in a rut. His people, as they talk and philosophize, become embarrassingly florid. His heroine is both a Jazz Age and a Beat Generation type: the self-pitying, self-dramatizing, greedily restless girl who destroys others on the way to destroying herself. But the play's realistic-romantic approach to her is blurred...
