...comedy. The show contains but few excuses for laughter, and it is here, despite the efforts of Fannie Brice and Van and Schenck, that one regrets the absence of such favorites as Eddie Cantor. Joseph Urban contributes his gorgeous settings, and Ben Ali Haggin takes a hand in the spectacular design of the "Love Boat." The recently much-press-agented Mary Eaton makes her Follies debut with graceful toe dancing and a couple of songs, but her comparatively unknown namesake, Doris, is fully as pleasing and deserves more attention.

Macomber, substituting at end, scored the first touchdown after catching a long forward pass while practicaly surrounded by second team players. He completed the pass by virtue of a spectacular leap in the air, and then, squirming free from the Black-jerseyed backfield, dashed 30 yards, crossing the goal line.

Churchill's run in the last period was even more spectacular, the halfback squirming through a big hole off tackle, aided by good interference, and then breaking loose for a 60-yard gallop, in which he sidestepped out of what looked to be at least two sure tackles...
Besides bringing in the winning run, Faherty spoiled what looked like a sure hit by Strubing in the first inning with a spectacular running catch of a line drive. In the fourth he speared McPhee's smash after a hard...
