...first half, it was practically all Yale, as Dowling ran for two touchdowns and passed for two more, one of them to Hill. The score was 22-0 deep in the second quarter, and the Elis seemed headed for an effortless victory. Then Harvard discovered a Merriwell of its own. Off the bench to replace the Crimson's harried regular Quarterback George Lalich, trotted Second Stringer Frank Champi, 20. A local boy from Everett, Mass., Champi's athletic reputation was based on his record as a javelin thrower...
...openers, Champi drilled a 15-yd. pass to End Bruce Freeman for one Harvard TD. He set up another score with a 26-yd. toss to Sophomore End Pete Varney.

Theaters, operas and court ballets were packed the year round, while gentlefolk staged amateur theatricals by the score in their chateaux and country houses. Costume balls, hunts, public spectacles and private liaisons dangereuses were the order of the day-and night...
...swinger with inventive images that linger in the retina. Not all of the film works. Its sometimes derivative surface is equally indebted to Jean-Luc Godard and shampoo commercials. Even Edgar Guest would have been embarrassed by the lyrics that Pop Poet Rod McKuen composed to match his banal score. But Same makes his cast perform with the precision and refinement of a repertory company...
