Since rebounding has been a major Crimson weak point in previous games (and against opponents of a less stratospheric sort), it will probably take some extremely fine shooting to defeat the Elis. In addition to Glynn, Yale has two other potentially dangerous scorers: Dan McFadden (12 points per), and forward Larry Downs...
...confusion stems from first exposure to literary jargon. A freshman in Humanities, analyzing carefully on a final, found that "Dante used Beatrice as a phallic symbol for divine love." When the exams were handed back, his section man asked him about it. "I thought phallic just meant sort of literary," he said...
Scarves & Parades. In Hong Kong last week, one escaped cadre member had a different sort of story to tell. Lo Chih-ching was nine when the Communists took over Peking, and his first memories of the new regime were of wearing a gay red scarf and marching proudly in parades.

The principal characters were poor Poles, and the heroine was described by one playgoer as "a sort of squarehead Camille." When the play, as written, failed to get a Broadway opening, Playwright Yordan remaindered the rights to the American Negro Theater. The white trash became black trash, and caught fire. Anna moved to Broadway, played to packed houses for more than two years (1944-46). But Playwright...
