...coaches. Those who are closest to the team, the students of the College, have only the highest praise for Dick Harlow and the spirit of the players he works with. With this spirit, it is not pure wishful thinking to expect that the rest of the season will show a decided improvement. Last year the Princeton game was the turning-point, and it may well prove to be so again this year. The team probably senses that this is the feeling of the great mass of undergraduates, but more than that is needed. If actions ever speak louder than words...
...play gagged up by Kaufman takes hair-trigger handling to put it across. The production at the Copley, however, started off like a funeral procession. About the middle of the first act hope was fast fading when in whooped Erford Gage in a coon skin coat and the show began to shake the dust off its feet.

The passengers watched the screen idly, then suddenly came to life. "That's us," someone shouted. It was.

But it takes several minutes for the skin to show its telltale sign, and even the keenest observers cannot scent death by this crude method until a short time before the end. Last week Dr. Roy Donaldson McClure of Detroit's Henry Ford Hospital described a machine that notes the shadow of death long before death's hue is seen...
