...Boniface,--whose name has become proverbial of his class--houser of highwaymen yet honestly eloquent over his Anno Domini, Thomas Shearer is excellent. All of the actors and actresses save two, in fact, feel their parts and present them compellingly. There is a well-presented Scrub, with his cowardice and itching palm, whose happy phrase, "... and I believe they talked of me for they laughed consumedly" is one of the famous bits of the play. Archer and Aimwell, the Restoration gentlemen, played by Arthur Sircom and Milton Owen, fail to convince. Their stilted stage poise is an overdoing...
...first touchdown in yesterday's session was scored by A. E. French '29 on the first play from scrimmage. French caught the scrub kick-off on his own 28-yard line and ran it back 20 yards.

Huguley '31 going in for the first team. The ball was given to the University eleven on the scrub 15-yard line, and on the second play Putnam ran thirteen yards for a score. The pigskin was brought out and this time placed on the scrub 20-yard line. After Huguley had made a few yards on three line bucks. Holbrook circled the left wing for the last...
