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.

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...
