Coach Norm Shepard, whose main worry to date has been an unproven pitching staff, will start righthander Dave Brigham on the mound against the Jumbos. Brigham turned in some good pitching on the recent southern trip and worked well in several relief jobs last season, but never reached top form as a starter...
Most of the Jumbo lineup, nevertheless, are returning starters and should be a strong threat to the visitors. Shepard admits that the Crimson's batting strength is still largely an unknown quantity. If the southern trip records are any indication, captain Bob Cleary and first baseman Frank Saia can be relied on at the plate, but the outfielders have still not shown the hitting needed in the middle of the batting order...
...four games this week will give some measure of the Crimson's batting power; they have also put an added strain on the already thin pitching staff. After today's game, Shepard expects to start Herb Scheiner against Brandeis tomorrow, Byron Johnson at M.I.T. Thursday, and come back with Brigham in the Army game here on Saturday...
...emotional confrontation. Under Sidney (Twelve Angry Men) Lumet's direction, the play combined compassion and extraordinary visual impact in scenes in which the mute father and mother flung their feelings into sign language-taught to the actors by a specialist-and the brother (well-played by Richard Shepard) vented his own anxieties with the laborious croak and articulating grimaces of a man who has never heard his own voice. In the girl's part, Piper Laurie showed again, as she did in an uneven Playhouse 90 show last season, that Hollywood has wasted a first-rate actress...
...quite a while has there been a Broadway thriller with so much plot-which is fortunate, since there has not been one either with such strenuous overacting. Under Shepard Traube's direction, a largely English cast headed by Denholm Elliott (Ring Round the Moon) and Patricia Jessel (Witness for the Prosecution) exhibit all the subtlety of a burglar alarm. But however heavy-footed in style, Monique-at least for anyone unacquainted with the book or the film-moves with considerable suspense from one plot to twist to another, and offers a passable surprise at the final curtain...
