Despite Jauron's credentials, it is futile to key on him. He is only one of four backs in the Yale wishbone who can hurt you on the ground. The other three are all sophomores and they have matured this season into a solid and smooth unit. Quarterback Tom Doyle is a formudible threat as a runner and runs the wishbone attack well. Against Dartmouth Doyle accounted for 160 yards rushing on his own erasing the old record of 110 set by Bryan Dowling Doyle's passing in nowhere near the threat his running to he has completed only...
Churchill is played by three young actors at various stages of his youth who neatly blend into each other in the fashion of growing boys and girls in a Wonderbread commercial. Simon Ward, who carries the bulk of the film from age 18 on is a bit too smooth and pretty as the young adventurer but highly entertaining.

Many of Strand's earlier works are abstract, a style that he did not continue in his inter photography. "Abstraction, Bowls," (Connecticut, 1915) he claims to be just an experiment, but his awareness of their smooth, rolling contours can't be missed in his later handling of hats in "Hat Factory" (Luzzara Italy, 1953) (seen in the remarkable tow-violence retrospective monograph published by Aperture this year), and even in the Chiaroscuro of dark and light is such foreign architectural structures as "Gateway" (Rabat, Morocco...
